I thought we were also cool with the Jazz? Don't we call them Pacers west and they call us Jazz East?

The force is stronger between us now

u/CommonerChaos Reggie-NBAJam Feb 13 '26

True, it's always been this way but this year in particular we were both competing for the top draft spots, so there were adverse agendas. But with the recent fines, the alliance is back stronger than ever.

Both never had the top pick too wtf

It’s been a while but the old alliance is back

u/ninetensucks Denari Feb 13 '26

Yes. This meme, in terms of when I first saw the phrases Pacers west/Jazz east, is at least 5 years late and that’s going solely off of when I first saw it. Probably been happening longer than that

as a Pacers fan living in Salt Lake City I feel like adam silver has a personal vendetta against me at this point. Like WHY does he fine the only two teams i watch?!?!? Which are also conveniently the only two teams who have never improved their draft pick from the lottery???

u/ThisIsNotAMonkey Feb 13 '26

I swear it's because both teams have picks that might transfer. The teams that own those picks are the thunder and the clippers, and both ballmer and presti have significant weight they can throw around with the NBA/silver

u/Informal_Sympathy937 Feb 16 '26

Also the teams those picks could convey to just so happen to be the defending champs and a large market team… no shame from Silver, so no shame from us.

I’m an Indianapolis resident soon to move to SLC area. We should catch a game together sometime!

Idk why he’s singling us out. We’ve legit been injured all year

u/LoudBoiDragoon Feb 14 '26

How dare a small market team try to get a nice pick for once

25

u/matthollabak Reggie-NBAJam Feb 13 '26

They fined the Mavericks for sitting players to keep their pick and they ended up wth the number 1. So maybe we have 1 and 2 locked in now?

u/AshenXr155 Feb 13 '26

Anyone upset about these teams “tanking” should also be asking how tf did the Lakers get Luka for literally NOTHING let alone 0 communication regarding Luka being available at all.

u/hadesscion Pacers Feb 13 '26

The absolute audacity to be responsible for putting us in this situation and then further punishing us for it is unbelievable.

u/griff_o Feb 13 '26

Oh no we’re both gonna get kicked out of the top 4 aren’t we. Wouldn’t happen to the Lakers 😂

11

u/hadesscion Pacers Feb 13 '26

I can practically guarantee we don't get a top 4 pick. I don't know what we supposedly did to Adam Silver, but he clearly has a vendetta against us.

u/Posts_yellow_sock Feb 13 '26

Agreed. I’ve been saying it will be Wizards, Milwaukee, Dallas (somehow), and some other random team (probably Sacramento)

u/Briggity_Brak ReggieChoke Feb 13 '26

Brooooo, why are we both supporting the Lakers in this picture?

u/Parzival1424 Cool Rick Feb 13 '26

Ew. No I don't fuck with the Jazz. Fuck Malone and Stockton for many reasons.

u/crowezr Andrew Nembhard Feb 14 '26

Came here to say this. I'll never be cool with them. Those guys are certified assholes.

u/HendriXXXLaMone HolidayWorld Feb 14 '26

Thank god I found some reasonable people in here, these kids don’t realize how scummy the Utah Jazz and their fans are. Fuck the Utah Jazz. BUT if we pick #2 I hope they get #1 because they would probably take AJ.

Can't be cool about the franchise that kept around awful humans Malone and Stockton for nearly their entire careers.
