Pacers have fallen apart.

[dunnyduns]

I am so disappointed with the Pacers. With another lost today against the Bucks we have fallen to 46-34. Thats a good record but when you look at how we started the season it is bad. Start the season 14-2. Then our record was 37-15 and then boom they fall apart.

9-19 in our last 28 games is sad. If the Hornets win out and the Pacers lose 1 more game Hornets get the 4 seed and homecourt advantage. Already I don't think the Pacers will beat the Hornets but if they lose homecourt in the first round it is over.

I just dont know how this team can start out so good and end so bad. We certainly have the talent to be the best team in the East. But something is wrong and it will get even worse if O'Neal leaves in the offseason which I think is a definate possibility. I am going to keep out hope for this team yet but I am preparig myself for the worst.

Re: Pacers have fallen apart.

they are not playing like they want to win. Tinsley all of a sudden cant play defense . we are not running the offense that got us off to that good start.. we are playin selfish ..But I know the playoffs will be a different story .. because if u look at the past couple of games Reggie hasnt takin but 2 or 3 shots .. But to lose 3 in a row and possibly lose home court advantage is embarrasing

Re: Pacers have fallen apart.

The backcourt needs major help. Reggie and Tinsley just dont cut it. I like Reggie more than anyother Pacer but if he is going to cost us more then 4 million to come back next season, we need to let him go find a younger replacement. Our priorites next year should be O'Neal and Brad Miller first and then Reggie. If resigning Reggie cost us one of those players coming back I will be mad.

Maybe one good thing will come out of all of this. Donnie Walsh will see Thomas is not a coach and will let him go. He has not improved us in any way. So far a 5 win improvement over last and 2 8th seeds isnt good. Teams are supposed to progress over a season, we have only regressed under Thomas.

Re: Pacers have fallen apart.

just keep on stumbling, you will have home court advantage against NO in the 1st round and i'd like to see NO go deep into the playoffs for a change.
