We will know a lot by then. We have so many new players.....they have to learn to play together...and they have to learn it in games,. That's how GSW has been blown out twice so far. They'll get it together and we will, too.. We're not playing good defense and I think its because we have a guy from the Nets and a guy from the Hawks and a guy from the Bulls and a guy from the Hornets.. It would be a surprise if we did play well together the first half of the season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Jefferson has struggled with his shot early on but he has a lengthy history demonstrating that wont last. He is not going to be a big contributor like he was in Charlotte and Utah. He is not in that kind of shape. What your going to get from him on average is what David West is now. he will come in and contribute a little bit but his biggest contribution will come in practice and in the locker room I'd like to see Thad get more minutes. Mcmillan has him playing 30 minutes a game. I'd like him to be up to 32-34 because he can do it and the drop off in talent behind him is significant We are still probably 2 years and 2 solid drafts from a serious title run. We don't have all the pieces just yet. Until then I think its fair to expect a top 2-3-4 seed in the East given our starting talent and skill and deep playoff runs. We still don't have quite enough to take down the giant in the East known as Cleveland......But our time is coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/pelicans-lance-stephenson-diagnosed-with-groin-injury-out-indefinitely/ Lance has some sort of groin injury that will require surgery and with his contracted being basically non guaranteed and the team having other injuries to deal with they just decided to cut him. Sounds like he will be out a while. Seems like they plan to release him to sign Archie Goodwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad part is that the Hornets are doing this and Williams and Batum have not even gotten going yet. If the Pacers continue to play without effort and intensity up to halftime I'm putting my backups in and sending the message if you don't want to give effort on defense and play with intensity you wont play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate was on the staff to, Its not like he doesn't know how to coach defense. Defense is mainly about effort and getting loose balls after that initial effort. We are 27th in the league in allowing offensive rebounds. 26th in the league in total rebounds per game On average we have only contested 55.3% of the shots take against our defense as well. That's about effort http://stats.nba.com/league/team/#!/hustle/?sort=CONTESTED_SHOTS&dir=-1 We deflect 14.6 balls a game on average but only recover 4 They don't talk much on defense.

BrentMc11 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 75 points in the first half is all we could take. After a nice relaxing vacation, who needed to watch that effort. With comments coming out from your 'supposed leader,' it is very disturbing to me. Also his production. Six turnovers last week. 13 points does not cut it when you are a so-called all star.
