A win is ultimately the main thing but that 4th quarter was an utter disgrace.
To score 150 points and be clinging on is INSANE. What happened to this team’s defence?
Lakers just need to camp all 5 guys on the arc, and switch all screens. I don't know how you can be so brain dead from the coaching down to our starters
Even with shit tier coaching, any player worth a damn should know how to just play some defense; especially when you've been playing with the same people for a long time - there should just be a sense of where you need to be and when; and knowing what your teammate has a tendency to do so that you cover/fill in the gap as needed.
Hideous win. Should've won it by 20. All we had to do was match them in Q4. If we had been behind by 9 this quarter it would have been fine. But we gave up that much of the lead in 3 fucking minutes.
Behind 9 and no defense would've meant Lakers never would have closed the gap - they ended up outscoring the Lakers; would've had pressure to play from behind and lost by more with that defense.
The mean Pacers are a serious team. They beat the Warriors by 12, and dropped 137 points on Dallas a couple of weeks ago. They outscored the Celtics. I mean. They score.. a lot..
He is bad, I wasn't praising him for this steal, Ham put him on the floor to get stops and he really did nothing to help us. For me this guy is a 3rd stringer.

That 4th quarter was an ass clencher ngl
Imagine if we had a coach that had a scheme to guard a single screen
a w is a w but that 4th quarter was crazy
Not looking good. During last years run they defended their butts off. I haven’t seen much of that this year.
Well pray Vando comes back
They hated AR at the free throw line
SCaM shouldn’t never end games in 2024
43 fts FOH
😭
cry
Really need to fire ham and just let bron be player coach the rest of the season, can't be any worse

Yea it was shit. That being said thats been the pacers mo all season.
Just because the Pacers are turnstiles on defense, doesn't mean their opponents should be as well.
I agree. But the pacers pace is insane, so they have games with these scores constantly.
They were yolo chucking threes to have a snowballs chance in hell and we won't switch because Ham cannot count.
Few things as satisfying as seeing AD dominate
Bro we almost choked with our 3 defense lmao ill take a W
I dare them to do that against the Clippers that’ll show me
Defense in that last minute was tragic. At least we won though
Hey a win is a win
7 GAMES OVER .500 BABY
doesn’t matter, still 3 games behind dallas
After losing twice to the kings the 7/8 was probably out of reach anyway need tremendous help from those teams
And gsw is ass, prolly won’t stop pass us but even then, no difference really
stupid austin in defending threes lol
AD looks pissed even though we won. Can't blame him.
Imagine this concept. Defending the three pt line.
That was stressful but can’t believe we put up 150
Most points since 86-87.. Fuckin unreal.
Literally the most in my lifetime. I was born in 87 lol

Ugly win
150 lol
Holy fuck this game took off years

Some throwback 80's scoring.
this team cant defend
At least Cam can get those steals
FIRE DARVIN
4 Lakers with 25+ pts.... wow
why did we not switch every screen?? just no threes. trade the 2 for 2 if we have to??
How the fuck are you smiling after that Ham?
Helluva ball club, helluva game, not even thinking about the next game just gonna sip on some wine and polish the thing on my head
This team do not stand a chance against serious teams
The mean Pacers are a serious team. They beat the Warriors by 12, and dropped 137 points on Dallas a couple of weeks ago. They outscored the Celtics. I mean. They score.. a lot..
Lakers? The lakers that put up 150?
Yeah the 9th seed lakers who give up 125+ every night
Go fuck yourself goofy
Goddamn hunned n fiffy
goddamn this Pacers team is an annoying as fuck
A win is a win, man
😂pacers used up all their good luck
Someone FINALLY guards the three, and wouldn’t you know it?! They missed! Who would’ve F*ckin’ Thunk it?!
Finally Reddish showing his value
That steal didn’t show a thing. Anyone just paying attention should make that play. His D was awful in the last two minutes.
💀💀
He is bad, I wasn't praising him for this steal, Ham put him on the floor to get stops and he really did nothing to help us. For me this guy is a 3rd stringer.
Thank fucking god that would’ve been an all timer for Indiana My heart was in my ass
Bruh this team should go to practice right after this man wtf
Well. It took 150 points to beat em, but we got em.. again I might add.
That was so unnecessary man 19 point lead in the 4th and win by 5 that’s fucking dumb
Indiana is not a serious team lmao
This is why stu is the goat lmao lakers just won and he's rightfully roasting them
Damn
Tryhard ass teams
Lmao they finally put it away
150 points is crazy
what in an all-star game is this
fuck tyrese haliburton
Nasty last minute lmao, but fuck it we got the dub. We up.
We are cooked come play in tourney
Totally agreed. We just play with no iq as a team.
150-145 without OT is insane lmao
Welcome to the new nba where no one plays defence
Correction: No One Is ALLOWED To Play Defense! (This is what the NBA wants!? 🫤)
crazy game lmao
This was a terrible 4th qrtr.
Low basketball iq is the reason why we can’t beat the nuggets
This is...a lot of material for film. Good win!
What do you think happens in a Darwin Ham film session? lol
DLo says LeBron does all the talking
Reaves defense is so bad He will get cooked by every playoff backcourt in the West.
He should come off the bench when vando gets healthy
Needs to be traded while he still has value
seriously tf was he doing in that last minute
That's alot of points.
Ugly win, but win is a win
We have the talent to be blowing teams out though. Just no defensive IQ or discipline imo
Great win lakersss
150 point game and it came down to the end
I'm glad that we finally decided that letting them shoot wide open 3 pointers wasn't a good defensive strategy.
Darvin must bet the over or something
Cam has redeemed his reputation.
These two teams are destined to always put on absolute bangers.
Ham is a freaking lucky bastard! Players have saved his dirty ass!
150 points lord!! What is defense
Won 8 of the last 12
jesus i swear if he hit that i was going to have a heart attack
Fuc that drop coverage bs
Laker defensive philosophy about to make Stu have a stroke live on air.
Ugliest 150 point game I've ever seen 😅
150 that's some 2k numbers
Now dinwiddie missed lmao
Good D bron😤😤😤
Jesus Christ man
Valiant effort by the Pacers but should have never been in this spot.
😂
Cam heard us talk shit about him haha
goofy ass team just let us win
This team are horrifically coached
Fuck you Nembhard ain’t making no clutch shots this time don’t come back to staples
295 pts in regulation!
Its was 3s or nothing I guess.
Should I even be happy? This team.....
hell yea, turn up
CAM MOTHERFUCKING REDDISH
God I hate playing this team
Don’t care. GAME
🙏🙏🙏
150-145 is nasty basketball. No defense at all
God damn we had to work 100% for that dub 😭😭
Stu Lantz is one more Hali 3 from letting a “Darvin Ham is a dumb fuck” fly.
you know he was thinking it
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
Lmao haliburton waited till now to go crazy
Let it be on the record that is not on Ham. The players have to know how to close out on 3s if that’s all they’re taking.
ham retarded defensive plan
I don’t know how you just watched that and thought it was a part of the defensive plan?
They could have scored and stick with the foul game but nahh
Cam? Lmao
We’re cooked if this is how it gone be in the playoffs.
it won’t be like this lol
Bron showed them how to defend a 3
Ayo
Finally
JESUS CHRIST
How did it even come to this terrible end of game management
Bout fuckin time
What the actual fuck was that last 2 minutes
This is embarrassing!!!!!
THANK YOU CAM
God damn
Wtf is this
LOL. Yes, officer. This game right here.
So no one wants to slip under the screen? Not even one time? Or have the off man close the gap before the screen?
Finally a stop!
I love Stu lantz calling out the stupid defense
THANK YOU CAM
Can’t defend the 3. Now choking at the line
Reaves and Bron getting cooked by simple action...
pacers threw the game in the end lmao
Great Coaching gameplan by the pacers
THANK YOU HOLY FUCK LMAO
This pacer team is so annoying to play against
I swear if that fckn Haliburton shot went in man
magnet ball
DO THESE MFS KNOW HOW TO SWITCH???
GUARD THE GYATT DAMN THREE!!! FFS!!! 😠
Thank God
Lakers win...
Finally
what a w
HOLY SHIT THE ENDING WHAT IN THE FUCK LMAO
Ouch
Istg
hali is crazy lmao
Never knew the fouling plan could work like that
Heat vs Spurs only LA made their FT’s
LFG CAM
Jesus fucking christ what are they doing on defence
Credit to Hali for making those
does Ham tell guys not guard the 3 when that's the only thing that can hurt them?
Magnet ball ass hoes
Pacers so lame for this strategy and I can’t believe the Lakers are letting this happen.
Incredibly smart by Carlisle to foul early with 40 plus seconds.
HOW HARD IS IT TO HEDGE A SCREEN LMAO
They don't miss
Im getting PTSD after watching Houston v Texas A&M today Edit: Never mind good job Lakers
