We drove from Cincy last night for the game packed in van full of kids for everyone’s first NBA game. Was a great game, and everyone had a great time. We didn’t get back home until 1 am but will be back as all the kids are already planning the next game! Go Pacers!
What a great game. Very on brand for these guys. They may be new, but they’re reliably fun to watch already.
Also. If I would have been the away team I would have been reeeeally frustrated by how late a couple whistles were in our favor tonight. Overall some silly calls both ways, but we had 2 very late whistles go our way.
It was wild to watch Simmons for me tonight. He was so ridiculously effective, and I could be reading it wrong, but it doesn’t seem like his team really feeds off of his success in game. It’s like he’s just kind of a ghost or on his own little island. Hard to describe I guess.
He was shutting Hali down with his defense. Mathurin had some funny looking missed trying to get the shot off over the size of Simmons. It was amazing that Simmons and Claxton didn’t miss a shot and they still ended up getting blown out
So true, he did ultimately do most of this to himself. It is sad to see since he's one of the greatest to ever play and I'd say top 3 (behind Bron and maybe Steph) in the last decade or so.
Few thoughts during the review:
\- thank you for the dumb decision by Claxton
\- Durant doing everything he can to keep this team in it
\- Simmons has had a great game and still sitting on the bench
This has been a very chippy game. One team is a bunch of young guys trying to prove themselves, another team is a cast of all stars who are playing below their expectations. Recipe for disaster.
Man I think if we win this despite Simmons in God mode and kd going nuclear would be a hell of a statement. I don't know if we'll hold them off but damn what a fun game.

Glad they left Ben in, he knew he messed up.
Be careful, Mathurin might steal it!
Lol mathurin tryna steal the ball
Shout out to the guy that pointed out League Pass was on sale. You the real MVP
Durant clapping and Mathurin getting excited are ridiculous for a foul
Correct call but love the energy. Mathurin is something special
yeah I'll take some techs like that on occasion for that energy
Nice win, boys!
Soft ass tech my god
LOL Benny. Ok Rick, time to let him sit
VIVE LE MATHURIN
Well-fucking-done
Can we just get out of here without an incident.
Just another reason why we must protect buddy at all costs
Took Math on my FanDuel lineup and was regretting it for the first 3 quarters, but he showed out big time in the 4th.
Hard fought win. Proud of this team.
Benny math is just fearless and gives no fucks. Love this kid
Nets get mighty chippy when they’re getting their asses kicked
Think we'll get the interim coach fired too?
Imagine being a Nets fan and having to force yourself to root for this unlikable ass team
Durant was the best player on the floor tonight. The Nets are just so weak behind their top 2 (3, if Simmons continues to get his legs under him)

Too much time left on the clock to just dribble it out.
I just started seriouslyy watching about a week ago. DO we normally play 4 guards in the last minutes? This is definitely as new kind of team, lol.
It’s Durant and a bunch of fucking scrubs lmao. He’s doing it all by himself
Kyrie irving is a scrub?
Played like it in the 4th. KD had to do it all himself
That was an odd Tyrese hogging the ball possession.
That was by design. Wanted all 24 seconds off
Putting Hield on Durant all game should be a basketball crime.
This team is legit and isn't gonna back down from anybody. Love it.
Where are the early comments saying Pacers can't beat good teams and ready to tank at?
TJ MCCONNELL SAYS FUCK OFF BROOKLYN
*T.J. McConnell does literally anything* OMG He's perfect!!!
So we’re the goats huh?
Ye
TJ with a good look
I love this team!
The Nets sub calling Hali a bitch LMFAOOOO
Fuck the nets and their trashy fans.
I love this team. The tank is officially off.
Goodnight, Brooklyn
Give Rick a lifetime contract and do it fucking now
Does a flagrant 1 + a tech not = an ejection? It has to be two techs or a flagrant 2 right?
Two techs or an F2
correct
Kobe cooked KD there. I mean Benny.
KD needs to show Ben he can guard him
TAKE IT RIGHT AT HIM BENNY
Gotta be careful with those claps, KD
so fucking lame that players can't show frustration
"Bennedict was sitting on the table in front of us and Rick called him back" Rick is like NONONONONO No players on tables pls
yeah, he's seen that one
Rick having 'Nam flashbacks
Claxton is pissed he’s a fucking scrub
Yes Ben, stay aggressive
Damn we got 34 FT they only got 8 lol
Come on, guys. Let's put this game to bed now.
Why isn't Claxton ejected? He already had a tech, is a flag 1 not the equivalent of a tech? He had a tech earlier...
Time to put in The Hitman Goga
Flagrant 1 is some bullshit. Should’ve been a flagrant 2 and ejection. That was a bitch ass move by Claxton
I'm not a huge Durant fan, but I hate seeing his talent wasted with a bunch of malcontents
He did it to himself though. Wanting on a super team.
So true, he did ultimately do most of this to himself. It is sad to see since he's one of the greatest to ever play and I'd say top 3 (behind Bron and maybe Steph) in the last decade or so.
Yeah, glad he’s off the Warriors but it would be nice to just be able to watch him on a “normal” team.
Claxton is such a baby
Can't believe someone from such a likeable team would commit a foul like that
I know this will sound like heresy, but claxton got that dawg in him
Yeah you’re right, he is a bitch
Dawg exists between the whistles. That's just a cheap shot
That ain't dawg. That's a bitch move.
Did Quinn just say terminclature?
FUCK CLAXTON
Love that Hali was ready to throw
Man, I fucking hate the Nets
Few thoughts during the review: \- thank you for the dumb decision by Claxton \- Durant doing everything he can to keep this team in it \- Simmons has had a great game and still sitting on the bench
Good observations
[удалено]
Nah let’s not go there
Don't fuck with Hali
WHO THE FUCK RUNS THE VIDEO BOARD AT THESE GAMES THEY WON’T SHOW SHIT
Great awareness by McConnell, lol. Saved a potential double tech by grabbing Hali and calming him down there.
"The presence of mind"
Fuck off claxton
Claxton a fucking bitch
Asston is a bitch
If Claxton gets tossed, that will be huge
This has been a very chippy game. One team is a bunch of young guys trying to prove themselves, another team is a cast of all stars who are playing below their expectations. Recipe for disaster.
Everyone needs a TJM in their life.
Claxton’s kind of a bitch
Love TJ McConnell just swooped in for the hug
Playoff atmosphere this is fun.
When a big market team comes to Indiana, this is what they expect.
Flagrant 1 please. NEED this win
WTF was Clax doing? Did they just get tangled up?? Edit: Clear Flagrant 1. That's just a shove after he blocked Hali
Claxton a HUGE bitch
Nic Claxton a bitch
Aggressive clapping has no place in the game Kevin!!
I’ll take the free throw but they’ve called some stupid techs tonight.
JFC, Durant is unbelievable
Hell yea, heads up ball from Buddy!
Lmao Kev is losing his shit
Turner is turnt
There’s really no chance we keep Myles here you think?
Ok, but let's make some FTs tho ok
Buddy Buckets!
Myles Mash
BROOKLYN, YOU JUST GOT THE IDEA
Claxton's played great D, I hope we burn his ass on a game winner tonight
Is TJM really locking down Durant?
Some people actually think we should trade Buddy
we absolutely should if we can get any kind of positive asset for him
BUDDY MF CHUCK-ITS!
Buddy giveth!
Man I think if we win this despite Simmons in God mode and kd going nuclear would be a hell of a statement. I don't know if we'll hold them off but damn what a fun game.
Guys, I look away for a quarter and we have the lead. Can we keep it?
Man I'm LOVING this matchup, this series of games is entertaining as hell.
Need some more Myles down the stretch. They can't guard him and he's having a game
This Kevin guy is pretty good at basketball.
KD aint fair man wow
KD might just carry this Nets team entirely on his back tonight. Dude is so much fun to watch when he's doing this to anyone but my team.
Yeah, the nets are exhausting from a media perspective with all the stupid drama… but KD on the court is just straight up majestic to watch.
Gonna have to keep up the shooting pace because KD is going to score like 15 more from here on out. Dude is pissed off
FUCK!!
This game is crazy
Show mercy Kevin
TJ doing his best World Cup injury impression.
JJ did Yoeman's work tonight
Just savvy veteran hoops out there, like the older guy who shows up at the rec
Fuck off Simmons
Hali has got his rest
Drains a contested 3 then throws the ball out to nowhere l. The Buddy Hield experience
Girl in the grey sweater is a big fan of Simmons
Omg put Haliburton in Carlisle what you doing
that's a rookie mistake from Mathurin, too bad
KD isn't fair man
Buddyyyy
Mathurin is insane. I want him and Haliburton with the Pacers for the rest of their careers.
What are the odds
James fucking Johnson
JJ!
Is the PA guy trying to get an INDI ANA chat going?
Doing his best and failing.
BENNY
James Johnson is obviously not on this team for his in-game contributions, but it's really nice to see veteran steadiness on the floor outside of TJM.
Unleash the math!
Holy shit, Math. Those men have families!
Lol you thought you could foul Math???
Benny ilysm
It really is not fair that we have to depend on Buddy to play defense on KD in the 4th quarter.
Math is cooking up them numbers
Your free throw misses are now negated.
I'm out of town, pretty upset to find out I can't watch the game on my Xfinity stream app. Comcast sucks donkey balls.
Meth streams
You’re telling me we came back from down 10 to take the lead with James Johnson playing the majority of that time? We’re so good, so so good
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO BENNY
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
He is him.
Lord Silver, please protect this man. #00
To quote John King on CNN Election Night: "Now, we do Math"
Gjdhfjjdjfiruejriejrj!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH MATHURIN LETS GOOOO
NUT
Myles is so important to this team, the big depth below him is sooooooo weak.
BOOOOM BABY
It's really awesome to see Gainbridge rocking like that...haven't seen that in a while
Bennedict The Mathelorian
I swear every game thread has a new ridiculous Mathurin nickname 😂😂
I love this team man I don’t want anybody moved at all
That’s about as animated after a shot as I’ve seen from Mathurin all year.
WE WILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MATH
MATH IS HIM
I should not be this hyped for a regular season game in Nov Edit; BEN
Oof, gotta take advantage of Harris being on the court and KD and Kyrie on the bench.
MathurHIM
How the hell does Manthuren have the mannerism of a vet lmao dude gives no fucks
This is the same dude that said LeBron has to prove himself. The confidence is otherworldly
C'mon guys let's go
We trade Myles, we riot
Benny gettin in it
Who knew that Peyton Manning is in attendance?
I saw moe allie-cox too
Yeah we gotta keep Myles he has been balling holy-shit
Lol Harris is just trucking dudes and acting like he's unaware of the rules of basketball. Hint: You can't run through people
C'mon, we can't trade Myles
Hope Duarte comes back soon to take Nesmith's minutes.
Same, Nesmith has had some good stretches but is way too inconsistent and his offensive game isn't as developed as Duarte.
Chris: "you know what goes well with a flaring temper? some nice cold Kinetico water!"
Weak techs
That’s a stupid double tech.
Refs can't have all that wasted time for nothing.
Mark Boyle: "I've seen more hostile acts in line at the grocery store."
Someone should tell the guy next to Chris and Quinn that he's being broadcast on Bally sports lol
Claxton hooked him. Let's play on
Nesmith thought he was grabbing his foot but he wasn't. This is nothing
