Great win tonight and great stretch we have been on. Lavoy Allen really showed up tonight without Thad. He has really worked on that mid range shot.

 

I'm happy for the team but this is what we should do. Now the real test starts. Thunder, Cavs, Wizards, Bucks, Spurs are the next five opponents.

the more I watch the NBA, the more I realize that you get a top seed by beating the team you should beat.

The marquee games that we all look for ward to?   You usually split those.

We beat 6 teams we should have beaten..you're 100% right..

But that was a 'real test' too and we passed.

 

By the way, OKC is another team we should beat..and the Bucks are living on the poor side of town, too

Pacers did beat OKC, Gavin would be really happy with the way the Pacers have been playing of late!

 

They need to work their way up to 4th if possible, well see how they do going forward.  6 game winning streak.

I'm not worried by opponents , what worries me is if the real Pacers will show up night in night out. When this team plays team D and buys into it they are very good , however when the don't they are average. Stuckey adds a lot to the second unit . Really nice to see big Al doing what hes doing . Allen has talent when he works , if when Young gets back if he will play with the intensity he did against the Pistons we could have a very special second unit. Bottom line consistent effort night in night out will make this a very good team.

I think we get effort every night...it just looks like it when we're winning. Its more complicated

I Like CJ Miles in the starting lineup..because he can get us off to a good star with 2 or 3 shots..

but we are the top foul shooting team in the NBA....so I'd like us to attack the basket early to start drawing fouls.

That's not Miles....


I think Ive noticed in the last couple of games that Miles starts and goes to the bench after 4 or 5 minutes..so he can come back with the 2nd until as well.....because his shooting opens the lane for Al Jefferson...

Seems to me.,.we need another distance shooter  to play with that second team.

 

Your thoughts?

I agree we need another shooter and preferably a forward but I don't think anyone wants Ellis and he may be our biggest trade bait.

What I expected tonight. Some people thought this was going to be easy for some reason. Westbrook is a MVP candidate for a reason. We need to slow it down and take better percentage shots in the second half. We also need to play better help defense. Can't leave 3 point shooters open when coming to help on Westbrook.

It definitely wouldn't hurt . However Buckner was referring to him being gassed at times Miles that is. Is he out of shape for some reason ? I'm like you I like him in the Starting lineup as well.

Have no idea how we pulled off that 3rd quarter. I guess they were wore down. There is no way we should be winning the game after losing the rebound battle 61-37. That is ridiculous.

 

As much hate as some fans have given McMillan you have to credit how he has this team prepared in the second half of games.

LeBron just hit a three to take the Cavs-Wiz game to OT. We need some losses from the Raptors, Hawks, and Wizards to move up the rankings.

We're just two games back of the Raptors for 3rd in the East.  They've also gone 4-6 in their last 10, but their upcoming schedule is pretty weak.  Hawks and Wizards both lost tonight too.  Playing the Wizards on the 10th and 16th is huge.  If Larry Bird can somehow swing a trade for John Wall and keep George and Turner, I think we'd be a top 3 team in the East with a very realistic shot at the Finals

Why in the WORLD would the Wizards give up John Wall for ANYONE. He's been playing like a top 5 player over the last couple of weeks.

 

We need to stop with the trade talk. Nothing is going to happen this season to carry us over the Cavs. We have nothing to trade. The only thing we can hope for is finding a gem with whatever draft pick we get imo.

I don't think anyone expects to do anything that'll make us better than Cleveland. That doesn't mean we couldn't possibly add a piece to be even better than what we are though.

 

That said, if we keep playing this well then it won't really matter if anything happens or not. This team is still missing a few pieces though. We badly need a SG and another big.

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.

      I just wanted to give Pitt some love for his recent comments about Indy and family values. I also loved what he said about focusing on the long term financially and considering the situation youre in. He appreciates his place in the organization and that speaks volumes about him as a man. The Texans can have guys like Diggs, Im happy with Pitt. Just a top notch dude.    This is a place a lot of people love to hate on, for some reason. But he is living proof that all this rhetoric about how "nobody wants to live in Indiana" is just bonafied baloney. So many former players stick around here after retirement. There is a reason for that.    He is the exact kind of person you would think wouldnt like it here. Rich california kid whose father played in the NFL. Lives on a little farm in Indiana with his wife, who is also from California. And they both love it here.    Those huge cities are very over rated and it isnt for everyone. We just have to find people like Pitt who do and allow them to become pillars of the franchise.

      "I think he flashed last year and can add some value to the LB room."  And I also responded directly to the LB room question. I will simplify, he has a looooow ceiling.   So what's the Problem, why argue?
