-Going to have play with some intensity on defense otherwise this game will likely get out of hand quickly in this 2nd half.

 

-Only 4 steals in that first half.

 

-Going to have to pressure Lillard at the 3 point line because that's mostly what he does is shoot 3's

 

I just did not see any commitment or effort on defense

If Paul George leaves the Pacers, this franchise will be in the bottom of the pack. I haven't seen enough in Myles Turner to know he is a franchise star than can help recruit in FA. 

I think Turner will be fine. Still just his 2nd year, hes only 20. He will get better.

Hes averaging a triple double. The last player to average a triple double through a whole season was Oscar Robinson. 

I don't think he'll be able to keep it up simply because the season is so long, but if he can match what The Big O did, that's next level stuff.

 

Anyone wish we hired Mike D'Antoni?  I was never a fan of his, but what he's gotten out of Harden is incredible.

I really hope we stay healthy this season because this bench is good enough to do some things. Really didn't expect to beat this Clipper team again. 

 

I think we should start Miles over Ellis tomorrow against the Warriors to match the size and 3 pt shooting of the Warrior starters.

Robinson is going to start having to be a factor off the bench. 1 shot in 14 minutes and 1 steal. Have to rebound better tomorrow and stay up on Steph and Klay. They pull up and shoot a lot and wont drive on you often

 

We need to bring Thad off the bench and slide Seraphin in next to Turner. Bring Thad in off bench for a scoring spark. We need a rebounder in that starting line up

 

 

Clippers don't play good defense like I said after Doc babbled about Lance not playing defense (again he was wrong)

I'm fine with Robinson off the bench if he has a 14 plus/minus. The bench's defense and Rodney Stuckey's scoring is what got us back in the game. 

 

I do agree we need to do something about the rebounding. Tired of seeing us dominated on the boards and second chance points every game.

I pay no attention to the +/- stat. It lies and is a bad indicator of how good a defense a player is playing. All +/- tells you is how much an opposing team is scoring with said player on the court not how many of those points a offensive player scoring on said player or the field goal percentage given up by offensive players shooting on him

I agree that +/- Stat is ridiculous, I have seen games where guys have scored 30 Points and has 10 Rebounds and still have a - for the game.

I use it to see which players have the most chemistry out on the court and who is playing with the most energy and GR3 was definitely part of that along with Stuckey and Miles off the bench. GR3 just didn't get shots up this game but the point is that doesn't prevent him from doing other things to be effective.

    • How is this injury-riddled band of ragamuffins 6-5?  Surely there are more talented teams with less wins?   How much of this "success" (because let's face it, as easy as our schedule has been, winning 6 games by this point in the season is an accomplishment) is because the coaches are busting their humps to get the players fired up to play and doing a good job of maximizing their talents to put them in a position to succeed?   I'd love to see what this staff could do with, for example, a healthy Taylor and Richardson for 16 games, not missing Stewart for 6 games, basically not losing all 4 of their top 4 corners etc.
    • I think they should leave FSU out. That OSU team was loaded that year and were clearly better than everyone even with their 3rd string QB. I hope it’s Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama. Those are the four best teams in my eyes but understand the argument for FSU. It would not surprise me a bit if tv ratings come into play with this decision. College football has become a business and people watch UT and Bama.    Fitting there is this much controversy right before they go to a larger playoff. There are 8 teams that all have a case to be in the playoffs and can win a game. Georgia, Oregon and Ohio State could all easily win 2 games and make the championship. FSU has a great defense and I’m guessing the extra time preparing for the bowl games would help their offense a lot.    On a different note, there is a lot of hate for the SEC bc they win so much. It’s not universal but there is a strong push from some to leave them out this year. I will say this, I don’t think there is a team in this country that can beat Bama and Georgia in back to back games. I think the gap is closing but not quite there yet. 
    • JT needs to go Leonard effect he’s  always hurt . I’d take a second rd pick just get him out of here . He may come in next year healthy and crush it . I just feel he doesn’t want to be here or play for this team . When Leonard was doing this I said trade him . You can’t get value when they’re washed . 
    • Strength of schedule has to matter. Florida St. hasn't played the competition that Texas and Alabama have. I might be wrong and I get why they would put Florida St. in for the reason you mentioned but I can easily see them doing what I posted as well.
