  4. Can’t help but feel the FO is being “extra” cautious with injury rehab this season.

    Wouldn’t want to win too many games now would they.

  7. I mean—if we’re going to have so many injuries, better to have them all at once right?

  10. We’re for sure getting the number 1 pick, that’s the only reason any of this would happen

  12. Damn that’s a big bummer. Toppin would have had a lot of play time this year lm

    It’s Walker time now

  16. This sucks.

    We finally got our 5yo daughter interested in the Pacers because of his pink shoes, and we got tickets to go see him on November 15 against the Raptors. Even got her matching shoes to try to get his autograph.

    Also.. this is gonna be brutal for our team. Come on, tank.

  17. It’s only when you’ve been in the deepest of valleys that you can appreciate the highest of mountains

  22. Conjuring up my salty responses to all the fans talking shit this year while we hibernate

  26. They’re going to keep trying to win right now because, frankly, no purpose not to right now. If they want to go the tank route, they can and will, but for now there’s no purpose. They’re also responsible to players like Pascal and Nesmith and Nembhard will be back in a few, and those guys ain’t tanking. And for the latter two, this is an important developmental year for them.

    This does suck for Obi and the team’s situation could determine whether he gets back this season but if he’s ready to go, it’s hard to tell a player to sit out. Plus you’d probably like to get him some run just to get his legs back under him going into the summer.

  27. Jarace, Furph about to return, Nembhard back in a few, Peter, McClung now, Dennis, etc….this season is about development going forward. But it can be about development while still being in an infrastructure that prioritizes competitiveness. Even if they don’t win, they’re always going to try to be competitive every night.

    Pacers will have a hardship waiver available now to sign someone.

  28. Oof poor Obi. Hopefully we get all of our bad injury luck out of the way this season. I just want Benn back so he can average 20+ and lead our tank lol

  29. This sucks but it means Furphy and Walker will get important developmental minutes. They are the future of our forward positions. I just hope this isn’t the beginning of the end for Obi like what happened to TJ Warren.

    Confused why we were told hamstring when it was foot?
