    I can't believe Nate is still coaching a team in the NBA.

    The game in Indiana that we blew last year may have been the low point of the season for me. Please kill them, Blazers.

    I can't believe they scored 140 tonight. The two ex OKC players went 7-7 (Sabonis) and 6-12 (Oladipo)
    Maybe they save Pritchard's job after all.

    That new logo is great. Because we all know that basketball rules the state of Indiana. The problem is that none of those teams are the Pacers.

    I watch some of that game tonight and there was know defense what I saw from either side. Tonight was Indiana home opening so they properly won't be so high for Fri. If we play the type of D like we tonight it should be a win for us.

    One thing's for sure......Indiana is not Phoenix. This is going to be a FAR tougher game than going up against a leader-and-coachless Suns.

    I expect the pacers to stumble and Nate to get the axe in 4-6 weeks

    I can't believe a Nate McMillan coached team scored 140 points in regulation.

    Oh, never mind. They played BRK, so it doesn't really count.

    They actually have a pretty solid team, noone amazing but solid players at least throughout the starting 5, but I'm hoping we'd be up and ready for this game and bring the W

    It's really astonishing to think that talent led by Nate McScribbles put up those kind of numbers.

    Early Story Line:
    Turner and Nurkic are both top contenders for Most Improved. In this game they go head-to-head as they play the same position.
