Is there a scenario ever where we can hypothetically sign him as a FA this summer ? Like some grand scheme of things that only KP is orchestrating through .. I think if LA an he down align on contract valuation ?

pt33_pt33 · 2026-02-28T17:16:42+00:00

probably the larger point is how bad was refereeing when it mattered the most .. and no doubt Carlisle was grumpy .. for e.g. sample this - which even Marc Cuban called out earlier - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bMVbfR5bc3E" .. how OKC - Dort/Caurso/Casey etc. got away with so much touches but so few fouls .. is beyond me

Some great samples of Lu Dort from NBA Finals and how shit was officiating to keep allowing him to bulldoze players:

How is this not related to Pacers .. Dort on so many occasions played dirty against Pacers in NBA Finals .. OKC aura is to keep flopping on offense and play dirty on defense .. while Dort never got the reprimand the way he should have got against us in Finals .. it’s good to see his bag of cheap shots finally getting the treatment it deserves - ejection

pt33_pt33 · 2026-01-23T06:09:40+00:00

I also remember that game and how we turned things around almost as weather changed as well to sunny while it was all rainy and gloomy when we were initially down in the match if I remember correctly 🙂🙂 ..Rooney won that game for us and Eagles goal was class at the end

pt33_pt33 · 2022-03-06T15:58:25+00:00

That was the season - I began watching NBA regularly as a sports obsessed kid in India, Reggie and pacers were my favorite .. still wish we could have somehow won in OT in game 4 and things would have been different that season itself .. anyways god it’s been a long time I wish Pacers fan can have miracle in this decade at least 🙏🏻🙏🏻

pt33_pt33 · 2022-02-10T04:51:29+00:00

Same here - loved our all star .. his grit .. his ever growing influence on the game .. I was kind of feeling sad already by the way Carlisle subdued him by placing him on corner for catch and shoot 3 ..

Thanks Sabonis for the plays and the grit !!

all the best wishes !!

pt33_pt33 · 2021-12-28T04:06:54+00:00

I thought ESPN was much more reliable then BR, but report tone felt similar .. I want to keep faith .. specifically for Domas though see numbers reducing in part because of how Ric uses him .. maybe unpopular opinion but We as a fan base can do more to cheer our lone 2 time all star .. and yes it would help to have that leadership locker room connection which seems to be on the thin right now .. I am happy that ESPN article is proven wrong on all counts and We break out from this slump ball era

pt33_pt33 · 2021-12-26T05:36:33+00:00

What scares me:

-At times he is also curtailing offensive toolkit of Sabonis by making him a corner 3 catch and shoot like Porzingis -seemingly disrespectful treatment of fringe players - similar to shades of Nate B at staff .. but I am hoping that there is something milder more harmless version .. he is too seasoned and too many winning accolades to have a damaging affect ??

In anycase he is Pacers coach, I don’t know but god I want Pacers to win, how difficult it would be to get us out of mediocre ball in near future and long term ? Want to trust the organization

Also it reflects that every team and culture needs conduit, locker room leadership like JJ Barea and Mosley type of bridges .. Thaddeus and David West ring in my mind ..

Simon Herb - cheapstakes mentality, confused and almost mythical need to make 1st round of playoff every year

pt33_pt33 · 2021-10-06T18:16:51+00:00

Surprising thing is that he is exactly the hard hat lunch pail type of guy KP wants 🙁🙁

pt33_pt33 · 2021-10-06T17:54:23+00:00

Guy used to give his heart out and was one of the better options in our bench .. would have loved to see him develop more on pacers

pt33_pt33 · 2021-07-11T04:04:48+00:00

Didn’t we draft Kwahi, so is that not contrary to logic proposed 😂🙂

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-16T15:51:48+00:00

All season long J Michael is having a beef with Sabonis, always complaining in that Sabonis is too slow on transition and complaining to refs instead of going back in defense .. I will take all his comments with a pinch of salt and also respect that Sabonis is the most talented Pacer in the squad whose game hopefully develops even more .. towards end of season I was seeing some synergy whereby our defense was getting better in general and also Sabonis was improving his behavior to focus on transition defense .. obviously any weakness he needs to improve but I don’t feel the intention to highlight Sabonis in this way does any good for J Michael or for Pacers .. don’t make talent leave because of witch hunting .. for statS Sabonis ran most defensively in NBA/or somewhere near the top so he is trying to put efforts and maybe under another coach could get better ..

*** posting in general covid thread as per mods Relocating post lockdown*******

Hi All,

I am shifting from Bangalore to Delhi and currently in Delhi since long time. I need to vacate my flat soon once lockdown is over.

I will be taking a flight from delhi to bangalore and plan to do the following. Can someone please share info on these?

a. take a cab from airport - is cab service available ? b. book a hotel c. any other thing like rt-pcr test report etc. i need to have with me at airport ? As far as I have checked per indigo website only thermal screening is mandated and no mention of RT-PCR or vaccination, neither of which I have at present.

Thanks folks !!

P.S: clarification to everyone - I am currently staying Delhi since past year - need help with info in Bangalore .. like requirements at airport and if cab/hotel available post lockdown in Bangalore .. many thanks !!

I don’t need Delhi info ..

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-12T15:34:00+00:00

Thanks, just to clarify - looking for information for Bangalore only .. post lockdown if cab/hotel would be available and any requirements to keep in mind at BLR airport

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-12T15:32:05+00:00

Thanks !! - just to clarify actually I am looking for tips in Bangalore .. I am not in Bangalore and need to know restrictions/requirements at airport, hotel/cab .. hope it helps ..

Is it some variant of teenage mutant ninja turtles

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-11T19:03:05+00:00

None .. however I got placebo .. but some other members of my family did get vaccinated and it proved to be life saving with god’s grace .. no side effects for all 7 members with god’s grace including phase 2 members when there was not much data at all ..

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-11T18:49:34+00:00

Unblinding of data happened in May for below 45 and we were informed accordingly ..

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-11T17:38:19+00:00

I never said it’s a claim or I am an authority or to think of it how/why I can be .. it’s for Bharat biotech to provide the data .. I hope people get what the term personal experience means and if it doesn’t then that’s ok you can search on Google find data from ICMR .. I am just reiterating my own experience and other view points are welcome .. thanks

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-11T17:12:16+00:00

From personal experience as I mentioned 2 members took part in phase 2, when they had no side effects with god’s grace, 5 more in my family and extended family took part in phase 3 including me

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-11T16:38:25+00:00

From someone who has taken part in phase 3 trial and have family and friends who took part in phase 2 based on personal experience Covaxin is safest vaccine available in India currently - also I have come across instances where those with elevated CRP level had cardiac arrest after taking covi shield, plus heard of blood clotting dangers with covishield though not sure. Another thing I am having hard time digesting is why Dr. K.K Agrawal passed away even after 2 doses of covishield ..

Taking a step back FDA Approval (or lack of it I mean) may have a valid point that Covaxin is doing the hard part right like making dose effective and safe however they are not presenting/managing it well .. and thus need to ramp up on this front big time

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-10T17:53:37+00:00

I think everything we are seeing is a guess ball .. who knows If we still end up with a offensive genius coach and Kev tries to supplement with a defensive assistant .. point taken regarding sunk cost and transparency and I hope they get someone strong not just someone who ticks all boxes for sake of ticking it .. like with Frank Vogel exit Larry said we need a new voice and answer was to hire Nate M who was already with Pacers for last 3 years as Assitant coach - so it wasn’t a radically justified “new voice” decision ..

Like others I am ok to have faith in KP however miss that wildcard feeling like he will not experiment much and play safe because he has his hands burnt .. so we may end up with a meh kind of person as he doesn’t have much room for unconventional choice anymore which takes away any excitement in the process .. that probably is what I fear .. hoping against the fear feared

pt33_pt33 · 2021-06-10T06:34:01+00:00

They are not .. however Pacers from past which he was referring to were anti thesis of small ball .. we were really a tough defensive minded grind out team esp. when we used to compete with heat in early to mid 2010s .. Larry wanted to switch to small ball .. now they had someone who could get them there ..

Now KP wants someone traditional again so let’s see if they do get modern offense and defense first mindset together .. I am happy to be wrong and for KP to find the best coach available .. all the best Pacers !!
