Being beaten by the remnant Pacers, has the "flower job" become Cole s annual repertoire?

8:01pm, 3 November 2025【Basketball】

There is no need to brag about the fact that the opposite coach Carlisle is so good at using his troops, after all, they have lost five games in a row with the same team.

The Pacers are having a tough time in the new season. Haliburton's ruptured Achilles tendon in the Finals is just the beginning. After the start of training camp, McConnell, Nembhard, Marcelin, and Toppin fell one after another, plus Myles Turner, who was poached by the Bucks in the offseason.

The core team that reached the finals a few months ago is currently the only ones left with Siakam and Nesmith.

How can a walker like this lose?

Yesterday the Pacers were beaten by the Hawks by 20 points 108-128 at home. Today they faced the Warriors who had been resting for a day. Siakam and Naismith formed the starting five with Jareth Walker (a pure substitute last season), Isaiah Jackson (only played 5 games after being reimbursed last season), and Quinton Jackson (a two-way player).

In addition, the Warriors had just experienced a loss to the Bucks who lacked Antetokounmpo. As usual, they should have learned their lesson and won a steady victory. However, the result was a repeat of the scene where they were beaten by the "Nets Three".

Can't help but remind people of Stephen Curry's "famous quotes"

They are a group of NBA players.

Both Curry and Butler performed quite average today. Although the former scored 24 points, he took 23 shots. He scored 24 points on 23 shots while paying tribute to Jordan Kobe. He also made 5 turnovers and had the lowest plus-minus value of -21 in the game (is this a tribute to LeBron?).

The key thing is that the Pacers gained momentum several times in the first and second half, all because of his dribbling errors and poor shooting.

But Butler seems to have returned to the "recuperation period" he experienced every year in the Heat. He has almost no desire to attack on the court, and his level of commitment on the defensive end is comparable to LeBron, who has been ridiculed by Warriors fans for many years. Today, he seemed to have 20 points, but he still missed 9 free throws.

Dream Chasing focused on his work on the court. He first went to criticize the coolie Isaiah Jackson, then gave Siakam a big elbow after coming on the field in the fourth quarter, and then started dancing crazily on the edge of the fight.

After watching the first three and a half quarters of today's game, I believe that whether you are a Warriors fan or not, you should have realized that the three Kuchai and Ba have entered the first period of physical bottlenecks after the start of the game. They really can't play well today.

Fortunately, today's young people are very capable. After all, compared to the "third-line lineup" of the opposite Pacers, they can be regarded as talent suppressors.

Podemski had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but today’s excellence cannot be expressed by statistics. Not only did he cooperate with Curry tacitly when playing together, it was he who led the bench lineup to suppress the Pacers at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter. If he wins today, he will be considered the first contributor.

Kuminga is becoming more and more integrated into the team's system. His strong performance at today's critical moment, including his matchup with Siakam, shows the progress of this young man after being fully committed.

There is also Post, who blossomed inside and outside the first half of the fourth quarter and used his height advantage to help the team rebound wildly.

With 5 minutes and 06 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Warriors still led 104-97. At this time, they successively replaced Curry, Dream Chaser, Butler, Horford and other starting lineups, but started an avalanche of defeats.

Although Dream Chaser escaped a technical foul with a big elbow, the ball was returned to the Pacers. Nesmith broke through and succeeded 99-104.

Butler made a pass error and was intercepted, and Jackson succeeded in a layup 99-104. Curry missed a three-pointer and the Pacers counterattacked the ball into Jackson's hands. He easily hit a three-pointer and hit 102-104.

Curry made another mistake and his shot was intercepted. The Pacers counterattack was blocked. Curry made a foul but made one of two free throws to make it 102-105.

The Pacers attacked, Walker picked off the offensive rebound, Podemski fouled Isaiah Jackson, and made the free throw line, 104-105.

Curry hit the board 104-107, but turned around and fouled Nesmith and made two free throws, 106-107.

Then Curry missed again, and the Pacers' counterattack was blocked. Walker once again won the offensive rebound. Jackson made another three-pointer with his hands and dropped the knife, and finally took the lead 109-107.

Butler broke through and dunked 2+1, but rarely missed a free throw, 109-109.

The Warriors were at the end of their game, and the Pacers turned around and easily passed Siakam to hit a three-pointer 112-109.

Kuminga made a desperate three-pointer, and Jackson turned around and made a mid-range shot to kill the game, 114-109.

From the time Curry and Dream Chasing came on the scene to the end of the game, the Warriors were beaten 22-8 in 5 minutes.

In the past few years, Cole often lost good games because he replaced Curry too early, and was criticized by fans and the media. The young people at that time were not yet mature.

Now, when Kuminga and Podemski finally found the feeling, and even Post, Moody, and Santos were able to steadily provide positive contributions, he went to the other extreme, fearing that he would neglect these old comrades who fought with him. He knew clearly that Curry was in poor condition today, his dream pursuit was approaching the point of mania, and Butler was also losing interest.

The result was that the empire that the young people had finally conquered was wiped out by this group of old men, and they suffered another dumbfounding defeat.

In fact, both Cole and Warriors fans know that the three of Kuchaiba are over 110 years old together. Even if the three of them are well maintained, they can no longer handle the compact 82 regular season games.

Almost every good game requires 2-3 games or even longer time to recover and recuperate.

If the Warriors want to enter the playoffs healthily and even compete for the championship, they must let go of the burden of the regular season and let the young people carry the burden..

Just like the 41-year-old James has not played a game this season, but it does not delay Doncic and Reeves from killing everyone.

I hope this defeat can wake up the Warriors, especially Cole. They are in the Western Conference where the competition is close to hell. Next, they will face a devilish schedule of 2 home games and 8 away games. If they cannot survive, then these two recent losses will be too hurtful.
