Pacers 2023: Are the Pacers back?

[ChristianPatriot]

Tyrese Haliburton has given the Pacers same major buzz this season. He’s a legit top 15 player in the league right now. Hasn’t been this much excitement around the blue and gold since the young Paul George years. Hoping his career turns out better than PG-13’s.

They played well winning against the 76ers tonight, in spite of the dismal FT %age.

They are fun to watch again.

Either way, what is this in season tournament thing?

Yeah I have no idea what that in season thing is all about.

There’s so many regular season games it can get kind’ve monotonous. Maybe they’re just trying to make them matter more.

That’s one advantage the NFL has. Because there’s only 17 games, they’re all hugely important.

Hali goin off again against the Hawks

My official "Old grumpy guy" take is that the Pacers lost me as an ardent fan when they took the games off of channel 4. I used to go to a couple of games each season, and I'd watch every game I could on TV. I don't have cable and I don't even know what the viewing options are at this point. I'd probably start watching if it's available on something I currently subscribe to, but I wouldn't add another streaming service just for Pacer games.

It’s the only reason I haven’t dumped my comcrap yet and gone full on streaming.

They just want too much money for me to watch the only team I watch

Same.

From the looks of it, the Bally Sports deal has been an absolute disaster.

I'm still glad to see them doing well.

Great win by the Pacers and a new game high score for the team

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Sounds about right.

Can’t be dropping games at home to teams like the Trailblazers. Can’t have it.

No, but at least the Pacers are making it interesting this season.

You misspelled Packers...........
Oh....uh...never mind

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I don’t know how the Pacers can do it, because Indiana is such an undesirable market, but they have to get another star to go with Haliburton. He had a great game last night and they still lost. Don’t want to waste his prime.

How about that shooting against the Heat a couple of nights ago? They played one hell of a game, on the road, without Haliburton (who was out with a “non-Covid illness”). After blowing that lead in the 4th quarter against the Celtics recently. I hope they really come out strong tomorrow night. It would be great to see them lock into the semifinals of the in-season tournament.

Hali’s first career triple double.

HUGE win for Pacer’s tonight against Boston.
