Was the reason we lost due to the deeper rotation of Indy, or Thibs tight rotation that did not include wright, a tall defensive guard. What would shamett or precious look like against Indy? Thibs adjusted and we still lost.

The game to win was game 1……that was the key loss for this series.

It’s the starting lineup. There’s literally nothing else to point to.
GustavBahler @ 5/23/2025 10:42 PM
As I said in the last gamethread. The only thing Im guessing will cost Thibs his job is a sweep.

are people ready to finally realize this fact now? This same starting lineup has been trash for months. It might have just killed our chance at the finals because he never wants to adjust.

Thibs outmatched.

Wright should have gotten Payne’s minutes, not sure why he’s on the floor. They are running us into the ground, Precious should be playing spot minutes.

Sad outcome to the season, we should be winning this series.

TheRealist @ 5/23/2025 10:44 PM
Can we change our fucking starting lineup now?
WP76 @ 5/23/2025 10:44 PM
Indiana's better than we are--sad fact.

Fewest starting lineup changes in the league this season.

NYStateOfMind @ 5/23/2025 10:45 PM
Realized this last year, lol. Carlisle even bought in scrubs and they contributed. I said Wright needed gametime. Not sure what else they can do, unless Kolek plays a TJ role. They didn't improve the team at the deadline so they were 5 deep tonight, if you exclude KAT's terrible D.

Look at this answer. The numbers are from the starting lineup only and he deflect with this BS. Needless to say the starting lineup got us into another hole.

Deeper and smarter coach.

Riding the starters to a -20 in a tie game after 3Q and then deciding to roll with Cam Payne to start the 4th for an 0-9 start to the quarter is crazy business

That answer makes no sense and if they let him off the hook with that it’s journalistic malpractice.

Would have liked to have seen Wright get some of Cam's minutes

at this point I am in it to see how far he goes. Does he ride the same starting lineup to a sweep? Lets see how stubborn he really is.
Chandler @ 5/23/2025 10:54 PM
I'm going to lay off the blame game for now because at least for me it's not so clear

I will say that in game 1 Pacers had like a <1% chance of victory at various points in the fourth quarter and won

I don't know what our percentage is of going 4 out of 5, but that's what we're faced with. So Knicks in 6 (though I'll take it in 7)

We need to guard everyone.
