Pacers lose again. Still really confused as to why not a single trade has been made yet. Brogdon, Sabonis, LeVert, Turner, Holiday, Warren, McConnell etc... They all need to go. None of them should make it past the deadline on this team. 

I’m fine with them taking their time if they’re actually shopping around. This roster for whatever reason is helping us tank without even trying. I think we’d be the 6th best lottery odds right now.

I think that's a good spot to take Jaden Ivey as well.

Lance in a Pacers uniform is a top-25 player in the NBA lol it makes no sense.

Some players should just stick in a spot when it's going good for them.

I think he kind of wears out his welcome even here, but then comes back and dominates our hearts for about 2 months lol. I love the guy.

I say start him. Team needs to lose as much as possible anyways.

From the annals of IU basketball history.

ESPN Sources: Portland’s interim GM Joe Cronin is making his first significant addition to the Blazers’ front office, hiring Cleveland’s Andrae Patterson as assistant GM. Patterson has been the Cavs’ Senior Director of Basketball Ops and also spent 4 years in Utah's front office.

Some things never change. Grayson Allen is still Grayson Allen. Which means he's a total d-ck. Caruso broke his wrist on this play -- which is about as dirty as it gets. I hope they next time they play, someone on the Bulls knocks the smugness off that little prick's face.

Eh... Not worth a flagrant 2 I don't think. He was making a play on the ball at least. It was definitely his past and how it looked that got him kicked. Jalen Suggs definitely took a harder foul and fall and THT only got a 1.

Definitely worth a flagrant 2. Definitely worth an ejection. He made a play on the ball with the left arm, but took him down with the right. It was cheap and dirty.

I’m 100% good with a flagrant 2 based on what he did with his right arm and would find it appropriate for anyone. The Grayson Allen surtax should be Caruso getting to punch him dead in the throat.

It deserved a 1 at most. His past got him a 2.

I'm sure his past didn't help, but he deserved the 2 regardless.

The Pacers gave up 71 points in the first half tonight. Then they gave up 87 in the second. Only lost by 32.

I'm not seeing any negatives here. If the people in charge can't see that it's well past time to blow up this roster, then fans should really just stop caring, because they clearly don't. There isn't a reason Sabonis, LeVert and Turner should be on the roster past the deadline.
