Pre Game



Hoping for a big bounceback game. Jazz have been coming back to earth after the hot start but they're still gonna be a really tough out. It's hard to hate them though, it's a really good organization with a team full of enjoyable players (now that Gobert is gone)



They do have the worst defense in the nba since their form took a nosedive so maybe our shooting can get back on track tonight lol



Danny Ainge is a goddamn wizard. Whatever happens this year, he's really good at his job













1st Half



Always playing from behind. Gotta stop turning the ball over and play some defense.



Needed more shots. Haliburton and hield just forcing and no flow. PNR was working with Turner and only used it last second.



****in Olynyk always plays well against the Pacers. Can’t stand that dude.

He looks like someone’s Midwest stepdad. Like he could play with Budweiser can in one hand and a Marlboro in the other.

I always felt like he looks Amish



4 minutes in, 4 fouls on our frontcourt.



Olynyk is in Utah now? I can’t stand that guy.



These Utah jerseys suck ***



Why can't we shoot west of the Mississippi?



Markkanen is really ****ing good



I just realized Mathurin, Haliburton, and Nembhard have a combined jersey number of 2.



They're shooting 75%. i feel like that's unsustainable, but given what's been happening recently who knows



Is THT a better player being a little chubby?



We have not made a 3. They are shooting 57%



They have shot like 4-5 threes in that same corner it feels like. What the ****



i’ve never seen a team leave three point shooters wide open as much as we do



They're only shooting 60%. That means they've missed 40% without us having to do anything. QED



These constant 10+ point deficits in the first quarter are getting annoying.



Nah, this is well below NBA player shooting expectations. We're shooting 42/0/80 that's just horrible.

Meanwhile they're shooting 55/50/100 which is otherworldly hot



I can shoot batter than this ****ing team



Lol so Jalen and Tyrese both guarding Clarkson, and he easily gets by both of them with a single pump fake. Like… cmon dudes



I don’t want to see Buddy on the court again tonight. Has thrown it away like 5 ****ing times this half.



With or without the refs, the Jazz are just playing better than us. No excuse getting down early in the first and giving up so many open 3's.



Surely it's teachable to not chase the ball like a 5 year old's soccer team right?

The whole "They're driving so lets all collapse inside and leave corner 3s open" thing is a reflex that can be unlearned...right



i swear this entire team is like cats chasing a laser pointer



Down by 16. Not his fault but I don't care about anyone's stats when. Down by freaking 16 points at half



Down this much and Clarkson didn’t get hot yet



I keep forgetting how loaded Utah is



interested to see this kessler kid



Maarkenen is turning into one of the best Finnish players in the NBA right now



54 to 54 and wtf happen guys 75 points in the first half for the Jazz ?



a pace car would destroy a jazz musician



Markkanen is so much better than I remember. What happened this year?



Our shooters couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat in the first quarter



Kessler is certainly large.

Hes listed at 7'1". Weird how guys that tall can look so much bigger than other guys that tall

I think a lot of players people casually call 7-footers aren't actually 7 feet tall. Kessler is



Kind of funny that Utah also has guards with numbers 0, 00 and 2



00 is probably my favorite jersey number. Just looks cool



Utah’s coach looks like one of the Spider-Man’s



Olynyk annoys me

Most fouls in the league. Billy goat lookin’ ************. Bully Goat



These Utah announcers.

"I don't think Kelly made contact with his head" as we clearly see Nesmith's mouth bleeding



lmao this girl with the Star Wars encyclopedia goddamn



Markkenan is really good again all the sudden



Indiana is allergic to passing the ball twice. They can’t do it. It’s one pass and every man for himself. Never seen anything like it.



my problem with this is i don't see any good signs that they can stop the jazz



Lauri Markkenan is unstoppable









2nd Half



How do they manage to put 'INDIANA' on their jerseys when they have no D?



Just a rough road trip, that comeback drained us, we'll get to a play in ...errr tank and get frenchy French



I hope Olynyk fouls out. I dont wanna see him play basketball



Late to the game, but refs love them whistles!



Pacers... You were my only hope in the midst of the dumpster fire Colts season. Seems like it was fun while it lasted.



Utah is shooting 63/53/93

That's all you need to know really



Wow buddy sucks my god



Let them ****ing play. Holy **** if I hear one more whistle.



This game is going to end later than the ****ing Lakers game



we are working to hard to get our shots and they are making them to easy. we will not win this game.



52 fouls with 6 minutes left to go. Exciting stuff



Man how many layups can we miss



We are absolutely sniping from 3-point range after the whistle tonight.



Clarkson kinda looks like a lesbian



Don’t worry, this game will be over by 12/23/22…



this team is just jogging on defense. Seems like they're just ready to get out of Utah



We were ****ing tied two minutes ago. This is ridiculous. Doesn’t help the refs are deep dicking us.



refs blowing the whistle like they're in a profession which should go on a wildcat strike because Congress forced them into a deal that doesn't give them seven days of sick leave



Imagine utah making you look terrible. Smh



Is it weird I was happy with that last foul because it at least was an actual foul?



Every shot is short - the Pacers need oxygen



WHY EVERY SECOND THERE IS A WHISTLE.



The fans who paid to watch the refs are getting their money's worth tonight.



Walker Kessler was really undervalued during the draft.



Boyle on the radio discussing the pronunciation of Olynyk. I personally go with Lil-bich



We need Mathurin starting immediately and let Buddy come off the bench! Nembhard played 35 minutes tonight Mathurin had 25 let him play Rick!!



This after thanksgiving western road trip always slaps them back to reality. It's a yearly tradition



My expectations are low but damn you can’t let Kessler abuse you damn



Why is this Kessler guy abusing him now?







Post Game



Indiana left there scoring in Laker-land. Basically I believe that the Pacers has hit the proverbial wall. The team is primarily an outside shooting team because the team has no power post play at all and right now they cannot buy a shot, and I have said all along that this team goes how Tyrese Haliburton goes, but I do believe they will bounce back, and I believe that will be Sunday night, we will see.



The west is always difficult. We only play west teams twice a year one home one away. Me personally its always been a struggle for us out west due to lack of experience in play calling and offense schemes due to not playing west teams enough like we do east teams where we play them 4 times a year where we have experience in these teams.



Another rough outing. This team goes as their shooting goes, and their shooting has been pretty miserable on this road trip.



Jazz looked sharp on both sides. It honestly reminded me a lot the Quin Snyder teams. A lot of precision in their approach.



Just punched in the mouth again, not much else to say other than we are getting outplayed. A lot of people said this would be a defining period for this season & we are starting to see that we are a decent team, but maybe not a good one quite yet.



This team is not that good but is ok this is the point of rebuilding.

Only Hali/Mathu/Smith are worth a damn everybody else is meh.



If we end up tanking, we're going to look back on this as good tank loss.



Historically we've always been really bad in Utah regardless what team they have had at the time. We were really bad at just about everything.



These refs think they're the showcase tonight.



Career night for Kessler



Kessler looks like a kid from one of those Netflix series but can’t tell who.



Kessler looking like wilt tonite



Quick reminder that if not for a crazy comeback against the Lakers, we're talking about 4 double digit losses in a row.



I know at some point we'll start to shoot better and other teams will stop hitting well above their averages against us (open looks or not), but the biggest issue is that we can no longer make shots at the rim. We're missing bunnies left and right like Tyreke Evans is back on the team.

Also, 67 total personal fouls...



You took four hours of my life and I want them back.

Oh, I'd only waste them anyway.



First game this season I turned off early. Pacers played terrible, and a whistle every other time down the floor, made this unwatchable.



Why were the jazz players acting like little bitches? Like 3 or 4 of them. Bizarre.

Holy refs batman.

Wow that sounds familiar, so easy to rationalize a loss nowadays!

It's not how big they are, it's how big they play. Kessler plays larger than he is. That's a hell of a good sign.

Utah’s coach looks like one of the Spider-Man’s
From cocaine snorting serial killer to baby-faced super hero. My how times have changed.

So true!

Lauri Markkenan is unstoppable
He's getting there. He keeps developing at this rate and he could go beyond just sneaking into the all-star game.

How do they manage to put 'INDIANA' on their jerseys when they have no D?

That's the Pops DNA.
