I died when I saw this live

These threads are simply TOO GOOD to have for this season only. We need to keep them around like we did with the Hickory for a few years (or longer). PLEASE DO NOT RETIRE THEM AFTER THIS YEAR PACERS, I BEG OF YOU!!!

Now please don't get into an accident 🫣

I can remember seeing Paul George and Gordon Hayward get injured in real time. Their legs literally snapped in half. JDub’s injury was eerily reminiscent of those guys’ injuries. I don’t know if any of you were fans of Gordon Hayward, but I definitely was when I was younger and seeing him and Paul George get injured like that was agonizing.

I know we don’t like OKC but man that is brutal. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. As an Indiana fan, I witnessed 2 of my favorite players (at the time) getting hurt like that and I understand. I hope his return turns out less like Hayward and more like PG.

Sorry, does anyone know where I can buy the sweater that the dude is wearing? Looks dope

Feels like OKC players are breaking down after going through 2-3 years of deep playoff (Finals and Conference Finals) runs. Especially with their style of play, the wear and tear is bound to make them brittle, especially trying their best to come back and not fully recovering because the team is making run.

I remember last year when we still believed that "the standard is the standard" , and knew we couldn't afford to have Andrew Nembhard injured, because he was the closest PG we have to Hali, then he gets injured during the 1st game against OKC, which starts the domino effect of injuries that followed.

A Golden State fan mentioned that their team went through the same thing in 2019-20, after KD left, Klay tore his ACL, and Steph broke his hand at the beginning of the season. They decided to tank shortly after that.

The other team that was also in those deep playoff runs (conference finals and finals) was the Knicks, but since they don't play with the same defensive / offensive intensity as the Pacers or Thunder and they don't run as much, maybe they're not as battered. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, the growing list of injuried players at the beginning of the season is worrying, to the extent that I breath a sigh of relief when we get through a game with no injuries.

there’s no shame in having one 👊 just getting crafty with wood scraps from my laser cutter 😂

He knows the system, the team likes him, and he’s inexpensive. Make it happen Prichard! #Pacers

Ivica Zubac's x-rays were negative on his left ankle, Rick Carlisle said. But he's got some swelling. Unlikely to play tomorrow.

He did leave on crutches.

Vote for the /r/Pacers player of The Game

I love having Kelly here - I think he will be more valuable the longer the season goes!

Is it just me, or when you see him, what comes to mind?! For me….
