What defines the Pacers play of late? A Long List of Listless, Lifeless Lapses. That's right, the team is racking up Ls.

It's hard to believe that the most fun team in the league has turned into math homework, but here we are. I really hope that Friday's game against the Heat was a low point as the starters were booed off the court by the home fans.

I'm not sure what was worse, that the team showed up with absolutely zero energy for a Cup game or that they gave the ball away like they were handing out Turkeys to the needy. Maybe they just got a little too drunk on the Thanksgiving spirit, who knows?

Still, they get a chance to right their wrongs tonight in a rematch against the Heat (well, not from a Cup perspective but in the regular way). Winning tonight would be classic Pacers. Just when you want to give up on them they'll show flashes of being League Pass darlings.

At the very least, they'll be wearing fancy jerseys. So that's something.

Also if you want a clip by clip breakdown of the Pacers playing poorly, I suggest you check out the latest Caitlin Cooper article. But even an analytical mind as sharp as hers is basically left with the conclusion, "the Pacers just need to play better."
