2016-2017 Indiana Pacers season (and the rest of the NBA)

[oldunclemark]

in OT.....still a chance..without Miles..without PG

[2006Coltsbestever]

Westbrook drains a 3, SMH. OT

[oldunclemark]

Game is on NBA-TV...

[Gavin]

Bad play call on that final play in regulation, You don't put Robinson in that situation I don't think. He hasn't done much at all all year long and you expect him to take the game winner? I'd be going to Thad or Ellis who both have played well tonight

[oldunclemark]

108-105..Myles may just have gotten hurt...ankle

Glenn Robinson is a scorer.always has been..all his life..

..without Miles and OG..that was a good shot for him..

[2006Coltsbestever]

Love the effort tonight! It's tough to win OKC.

Yes you do...without CJ and PG..I loved that

Glenn is a primary option

..he;s been a primary scorer al his life and westbrook and Olidipio aren't on him

[oldunclemark]

 

    We need a road win

You should look up stats. He has never been a scorer. It was a bad time to go to him

[oldunclemark]

Good steal...120-115...16 for Glenn....erased a big turnover from Monta

[2006Coltsbestever]

110-105 Pacers lead! Slam dunk

[2006Coltsbestever]

Teague and 1! Take that Westy. 113-107

You should listen to me..I;ve watched him play since 8th grade.

His high school in 3 miles from me

In high school, and college he was a primary scorer.

We're shorthanded...That's his shot....No criticsm of that chance ..a 10-footer is valid.

He missed it..but that's a shot he has to take and one we want him to take

Wetsbrook never gets tired, does he?

Westbrook is a special player!

[oldunclemark]

115-111...:19 left

 

Teague with 30...I guess this is why we swapped Teague (indirectly) for George Hill

[oldunclemark]

Westbrook 31 points, 10 RBs..and 15 assists

[oldunclemark]

Glenn Robinson's best game for us.....16 and 10..played all the OT

IF PG has to miss many games.he has to do that

[2006Coltsbestever]

If I was doing a Draft today I would take Westbrook 1st over even LeBron, Curry, and Durant or PG, etc..

[oldunclemark]

Monta has 8 turnovers....,..but he's out there..played 40 minutes

[2006Coltsbestever]

Westbrook reminds me of Kobe.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Great win! Pacers take down Westy!

Maybe he was a primary school in HS. He wasn't in college, He only averaged 9 shots a game at Michigan for his career a game and 12 points a game. That's a contributor but not a primary scorer. Personally I would have went to Thad or Monta on that play but Robinson did have a good look at it and was playing well tonight. Quinn Buckner even questioned the call

 

 

In the end we won and that's all that matters

[oldunclemark]

we're EVENTUALLY going to be much better on the road with Teague handling the ball.

 

This was a great win...we shouldnt beat OKC at OKC without Paul

But Glenn was  a scorer..a shooter....he has that mentality. Trust me.

I just think that's hypercriticism......

Teague and Ellis weren't going to get a good shot vs.Westbrook and Oladipo.

Its was the correct basketball play..and a good shot.....10 foot baseline

Glenn was the open man..and he'd had a good night..like you said

 

I will agree..the win is the thing

Except Westbrook is even better in most areas with the exception of leadership

[oldunclemark]

Thad Young...20 and 11

 

doe s anybody know how badly Miles is hurt?

Kobe is more clutch and is a little bigger athletically than Westbrook.

They expect to have him back by late next week at the latest. Sore left knee. Test came back negative.

[Bluefire4]

Great win without PG considering the fact we will probably be blown out tomorrow.

 

Monta Ellis should have the ball in his hands less. He is not a point guard. 8 turnovers because he wants to throw careless passes out of pick and rolls.

 

Also Al Jefferson is done and shoutout to GR3.

[RockThatBlue]

Was watching UKs game and totally forgot the Pacers played tonight. Oops.

 

Happy we won though. Big to get a road win.

Why would you do that?  It's not like he's averaging 30 10 and 10 .  The whole rest of the league has only had 2 triple doubles this season.  It really sucks that he doesn't have a team.  Hopefully they can get Rudy Gay in a trade or maybe just maybe trade for Cousins or get Griffin in free agency. He needs another star player.  Oladipo is good and so is Adams but not quite good enough.

I think he is a better all-around player than Curry and Durant and LeBron is much older is why I would do it. If LeBron was in his 20's than no, I would take LeBron. Durant is a deadly scorer but Westbrook can run a team playing PG and IMO he has more killer instinct than Durant ever had much like Kobe had.

I totally agree.  He's the best player in basketball.  He needs some help though.  What superstar wouldn't want to play with him?  I am sure he'll lure one eventually.

Not sure, he plays with pretty good Big's but if Cousins went to OKC when his contract expires that could be scary. His contract is up after next season.

I like Stephen Adams but Kanter and Sabonis aren't great, I think they could upgrade.  I think Rudy Gay would make them better as well.  No offense but they shouldn't have lost a home game to the Pacers without George and Miles, not to mention Westbrook at like 31 15 and 10.

I agree, I sure didn't expect a win especially without PG and Miles. Best win of the season IMO.

The thing is if you can make someone else on the Thunder try to beat you they cant do it. Right now the best player on that team is Westbrook and after that its just roleplayers. They don't have a 2nd guy that they can rely on which most great teams do
