It will be a team-wide case of Niagara Falls-level diarrhea, occurring mid-game, because nothing short of that can stop this team from winning now. Route cause? Scooter's birthday punch bowl spiked with liquid laxative by NBA groupie Instagram hooker, who also happens to be a big Pacers fan.

 

[andalusian]

Tom Penn, because of "Philosophical differences"

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I blame the phrase “Pritch-Slapped”. We would have made so many more awesome trades and would be so much better right now if other GM’s hadn’t developed a fear of being torn apart by Kevin Pritchard.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Gotta blame Monte McNair for underestimating Haliburton's value in sending him to the Pacers.

James "The Ultimate Warrior" Hellwig
Crawfordsville

1959 - 2014

James Hellwig was a professional wrestler, who most famously wrestled under the ring name The Ultimate Warrior for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) from 1987 to 1991 and again in 1992 and 1996. During his 1998 stint in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he was known as The Warrior. While in the WWF, Hellwig became a two-time WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion and won the WWF Championship once when he pinned Hulk Hogan in the main event at WrestleMania VI in Toronto, making him the first wrestler to hold both titles concurrently.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Pat McAfee - who isn't even from Indiana - but like it or not I associate him with that state.

 

[crandc]

Damn, I have zero?

 

[Quatro44]

I blame drafting 2006 Indiana Mr. Basketball over KD. What could have been.

 

[Hoopguru]

I Blame Chauncey for only being suspended 1 game & 50K at the "Malice in the Palace"

 

[riverman]

Steven Spielberg for not naming that Harrison Ford character "Oregon Jones!"

 

[crandc]

Caitlin Clark. Isn't her boyfriend still assistant coach?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I blame Gerry and his fuckin Pacemakers. How do I do what I do to you? I’m a God damn American, that’s how. Take yourselves and your shitty couple of hits and go back to Europe…..which is only slightly nicer than Indiana, which is a shithole trailer park. If you live in a trailer park, no offense. If you live in Indiana, my condolences

Love this

You have 23. The 0 is for your effort last game

What about his participation in the “Train in Vain”?

 

[e_blazer]

Whoever designed this atrocity on wheels.

my fave growing up

 

[RR7]

I blame the annoying crow from the Indiana Beach commercials I heard way too many damn times growing up.

"There's more than corn in Indiana"
Shut the fuck up, there is not.
Shithole of a state.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I blame Cheryl Miller's little brother. What's his name? Reggie?

What a loser. His sister scores 100 points in a high school game so he decides he should play basketball too?

Forge your own path kid...

 

[Hoopguru]

I blame French Lick for producing the greatest white playa to ever play the game....

So Ferry across the Mercey of this Land we all love....

See, that song can fuck right off

No front office in this league is afraid of ours, I fucking wish that Olshey and now Cronin weren't so risk averse but they are. I wish either one of them understood roster composition like KP did but they don't. I hope Joe proves me wrong but it isn't the Pritch Slap legacy that keeps Joe and Neil before him from making big moves it's that they are afraid to swing big and miss. So they just kick the can down the road, that's not something Pritchard was ever about here or has been about in Indy.

Not my official submission.

 

[blazerkor]

It's got to be Carl G. Fisher. He started the Indy 500 with a few other people but he specifically came up with the pace car. Without Carl there wouldn't be pacers so there also wouldn't be the Pacers. So fuck Carl G. Fisher for inventing and then driving the first pace car and thus being the original Pacer.

 

[crandc]

See, that song can fuck right off

It's in my playlist.

They also recorded How Do You Do It when the Beatles refused, Lennon and McCartney said they would write songs

Actually Ferry Cross the Mersey.

Here I'll stay.

Thanks for the correction

Thanks for the correction

Leave the Pacers wishing they never crossed the Willamette.
