The Indiana Pacers looked absolutely putrid in their efforts against the Hornets (with the exception of McConnell and Walker), so Alex Golden and Facci discuss: the game, the lackluster effort, getting beaten by a team on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and how the Pacers progress from Friday against Chicago is forgettable with another disgusting performance. Tune in to join our misery and thoughts on the team!
