Pre Game
We might have dodged a bullet by not re-signing Bogey. He's having a down year despite the team being elite on both ends. McDermott's put up better numbers, granted its been against mostly backups.
He'll probably drop 30 on us since I put this in the game thread
I will be pleasantly surprised if we can keep the difference in the single digits.
The Pacers have a winning record against the West, a winning record on the road, and are still sub-.500.
Talk about a bizarre season so far.
Not a typo. 3PM tip. Shout out to all our euro fans.
Hindsight being 2020 I definitely wish we would've kept him. He embodied pacers basketball. Guy always played hard as hell and with a chip on his shoulder. I'll forever love BOJAAAAAAAN
1st Half
If Sabonis can keep hitting 3s, would help a lot v. Goebert.
Why is this game at 3 on a Friday?
What has gotten into Brogdon’s rebounding.
I hesitate to say this. But pacers defense looks pretty good so far.
This is the best pacers defense I’ve seen in weeks
Ylyasova is always a good get to whoever gets him, no idea why they keep moving the guy. He’s been a pain in our *** for 13 years
hahaha Mini Jokic is killing them
We still have 3:30 to go, but can we say this has been the most complete half given the opposition we're playing?
Wow. We needed those two threes. 6 points in 3 seconds.
That may have been the best half of basketball I’ve seen all season
Not to take away from Pacers, who are playing great so far, but the Jazz look like they’re in the middle of their afternoon naps. Hopefully they don’t wake up until about 4:00 local time
this is where we are taking advantage of the fact that coffee is hard to find in utah
I didn't like that call, but I don't know what the right call is.
Utah moves the ball so freaking good
Gobert has no ability to guard the 3 point line. Sabonis and bdtize should be able to get all the open 3s they want
dont blow it pls
Why can't we play like this every night
Huge run for the Jazz to close the half just for us to score 6 points in 3 seconds and bring it back to 13
2nd Half
We haven't outscored a team in the 3rd or 4th quarter the past 5 games
Ha! Nice play Sabonis! Tried to shoot LEFT HANDED over Gobert without a fake of any kind. Got his shot pitched and then laid on the floor looking helplessly at the official.
for ****s sake stop going over gobert on those screens
Worst two minutes of basketball in Pacers history. I don’t think they made a pass and made ZERO EFFORT on D.
Kick to the balls. That is what this game is.
Kept forcing the ball to Sabonis and now the Jazz are back in it.... ridiculous
Oh **** no. Not Mitchell.
Oh no Mitchell hope he is alright looks awfully scary hope it's nothing serious.
Aaron Holiday thinks he’s better than what he is and I’m sick of it
Jazz are on a 10-0 run and Lamb is running up the floor, jacking up 3s with 20 seconds on the shot clock. Ten years ago, every coach in the league would have benched you immediately.
These bunch of selfish and lazy players should leave the team next season. The Murphy/Dunleavy team is way better to watch than this current team. N8 should go as well for his failure to rein his players.
No, not like this...
Mitchell is one of my favorite players outside of the Pacers. Damn I hope he's ok. Would hate for Utah's current season to be derailed by something like that
Baby Arms with a +/- of -14, but he does put up the kind of stats drunk morons like to talk about at the bar so that's pretty cool.
This was not unexpected. Great teams clamp down at winning time and teams like the pacers get tight and can’t hit shots.
The first half was fun, but the reality is we are just not a good team. We desperately need quality athletic players.
Utah's commentators are as bad as their NBA writers, the whole thing is them promoting every trash player on that team like they are the greatest thing ever.
It feels like Domas playing with 14 AHOL'S....This team sucks...New Nate sucks...Domas deserves more
who’s this guy Oni, #81…love these dudes that look like they won a contest or something
I would like to believe that a healthy Jazz can beat a healthy Lakers in a 7 game series.
Fourth quarters were a bad idea and should be abolished.
The good news is with that Jazz basket at the end of the 3rd we technically didn’t blow the huge lead in the 4th quarter! Yay I guess...
Can someone please scoop my eyeballs out with a spoon and put them in a blender while giving me a lobotomy
Well it was looking like a huge win for us today but of course we can’t have nice things
The only way we can win games is by driving it down their throats but apparently our stamina is similar to a 40 year old with asthma and we die in the 2md half
Let's maybe stop attacking Gobert every play?
That’s what I’m saying, he’s clearly playing pissed right now
Don’t you start something you can’t finish Pacers
Edmond Sumner, one of the most quiet and genuinely nice dudes around is being accused of doing that intentionally by people?? What the **** is wrong with everyone... Praying that there's no ligament damage and that it was only a hyperextension or sprain. Injuries suck man
I see why Rudy is tops for defensive player of the year no disrespect to Myles but he is on another level my goodness.
God Rudy Gobert just looks like a douchebag
Why does he throw his leg so far out against Mitchell... not a good look for the pacers
Didn’t say he caused the injury. Just a bad look extending your leg out that high up. Calm down sweet cheeks
do u guys remember when we were up 13 a little bit ago
Brogon sure likes putting up layup-line layups on Gobert…starting to doubt his rep as one of the league’s thinkers
It is absurd how awful we are at rebounding.
Knowing what would follow..
yet another blown lead
I mean we blew a 17 point lead and they didn’t have Mitchell
The 4th quarter Pacers might be the worst team in nba history
Gobert has owned us this half
Post Game
Not that mad about this one even though we blew the lead because Gobert prevented us from getting to the paint and they are one of the best defensive teams, also without two of our best players it is hard to stay consistent, but we have a good stretch of winnable games coming up.
this might make my top 10 favorite chokes of the year for sure
someone fought hard, but it wasn't us
Say what you will, Utah and Denver, in addition to being good, have a Mountain High advantage.
18 FGA more than the opponent and still lose by 8 points. That is simply a lack of quality - no more and no less
Rudy Gobert took everyone money in the second half.
Can some smart offensive mind tell me why we dont have more guys cutting to the basket when our offense bogs down in the 4th? This seems like a way to get easy buckets sometimes. What gives?
Fun game to watch overall, Utah got Ingles and Bogdanovic Pacers don't.
Aaron Holiday was sucking this game. Why did he play 17 minutes and more importantly, why was he playing in the 4th quarter? Nate sucks at player rotations.
We do not have a player on the roster that can take over a game or even step up and keep the game close.
Sabonis and Brogdon are supposed to be intelligent players. Why did Brogdon challenge Gobert directly and Sabonis did the same thing multiple times. There is no way they are winning that one on one.
If we don’t screw it up, Goga will be an all-star in a couple of years.
Who would have ever thought the 2021 Pacers would have held a lead over a solid opponent deep into the third quarter and then completely fall apart offensively in the fourth? Didn't see that one coming...
Utah's defense kicked in the second half and their offense woke up.
I mean they're one of the best teams in the league, no one should be surprised we lost. And frankly I think we did well to hang as we did.
I'm not a Myles hater at all but we do look better without him. It's time to move on.
As others have said we're much closer to being a very good offensive team than a very good defensive team. Myles' skillset runs counter to that.
Bricking 3 after 3 in 4th. That can’t be your only offense late in the game. Good teams tighten up the defense and pressure the shooters more.
This coach is trash.
Sabonis got bullied by Gobert in the paint and coach still didn't let Goga play. He could even play instead of Sumner in the 4th pure coaching loss.
I feel bad for the Pacers PR person who has to come up with something positive to say... "Umm, I dunno... fought hard??"
Can you guys just suck in the first quarter, so the 4th is actually close for once?
Sabonis was brilliant in the 1st half, in thd 2nd he was useless and eaten by Gobert, I think should have been given more time to
Goga
Fought hard 69 points in 1st half only 42 in 2nd yeah that's fighting really hard. It's a 48 minute game play 48 minutes.
Up 17, Jazz best player out, still lose by almost double digits
Care to explain why this team is historically bad in the second half, especially in the 4th quarter. Where tf is the late game energy. Where’s the spark?? Offense disappears game after game late.
Someone needs to tell the Raptors that they accidentally left their garbage in Indy
worst second half of the year according to Scott Agness
It’s amazing how bad this team can perform with all the talent they have. I think they all need a good therapist cause individual players have issues and need a new coach
Anyone who thought our lead was safe at any point during this game has not watched the Indiana Pacers this year.
Excuse me while I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Wade owns part of the Jazz? Wow. Give me 25 guess and I would never have guessed the Jazz as the team he bought into.
The Pacers have a winning record against the West, a winning record on the road, and are still sub-.500.
Talk about a bizarre season so far.

I miss Bogey.Hindsight being 2020 I definitely wish we would've kept him. He embodied pacers basketball. Guy always played hard as hell and with a chip on his shoulder. I'll forever love BOJAAAAAAAN
The Jazz ball movement is immaculate1st Half

Well I'm very impressed by how crisp our defensive rotations are today
Ugh nevermind
I didn't like that call, but I don't know what the right call is.
Utah moves the ball so freaking good
Gobert has no ability to guard the 3 point line. Sabonis and bdtize should be able to get all the open 3s they want
How in the hell is this team just 9-16 at home? If they were just around a disappointing .500 at home, they’d be 30-24.
I have a bad feeling about this
I can see that 17 point lead evaporating between now and the first of the third.Pretty impressive to drop 70 on Utah in a half.
dont blow it pls

God our offense has gone to ****. It's ugly right now
Jesus Gobert just obliterated Sabonis...
I'm sure I'd like Rudy if he was a Pacer
But right now, a return-the-favor nards shot would be fine with mewho’s this guy Oni, #81…love these dudes that look like they won a contest or something
I would like to believe that a healthy Jazz can beat a healthy Lakers in a 7 game series.
12/42 in the 2nd half. Jazz have 20 TOs and we are down 7. Yuck
A Sabonis 3 is definitely the shot you're looking to get down 7 in the 4th quarter
Fourth quarters were a bad idea and should be abolished.
Rudy has just shut out the paint completely. Wow
The good news is with that Jazz basket at the end of the 3rd we technically didn’t blow the huge lead in the 4th quarter! Yay I guess...
