Tough loss for the Pacers.  They were looking good early but Korver wasn't missing.  I don't think I really seen anyone post much about Oakley?   I am sure everyone heard about it.  Oakley is one man I wouldn't want to mess with, short fuse and big guy.

This team shows flashes of a tough competitor at times, and then they show flashes of guys who aren't even sure how to basketball not long after. 

 

Last night was like getting a lobotomy. They just did not put any effort into guarding Korver. 

 

This team is still a while a way from being a competitor.

Korver was ridiculous. He was Steph Curry like last night.

I don't think that it will be possible before the trade deadline this year. I think it will only be possible next year if we find someone in free agency after signing Teague or we hit on another 1st round draft pick.

 

We won't get a guy like Cousins or Lopez without giving up more than we should.

I would give up a first for Cousins. If thats not enough, we could throw in a player like Monte. Dude is a bit of a headcase but I'd kill to see us have the best center in the NBA. He would also make us a more tougher team, as hes definitely not soft lol. I would be happy with Lopez too

Cavs always seem to have one of those games when a player not named Kyrie Kevin or LeBron throws in 6 or 8 threes.  It is ridiculous. 

They showed us a set with Thompson, Jefferson, Love and Korver around LeBron..

..that I dont know how we deal with defensively

 

..who do Miles, Teague or Monta guard against that Cav 5?

It's gonna take a first and Myles Turner at least. If we don't offer that than they will at least trade him and try to get a top 5 pick, not a pick out of the lottery.

I would trade Turner and Monta for Cousins the more I think about it. We would still have PG, Teague, Big Al, Thad, + Cousins. Cousins is the best Center in the league and would bring more Star power here and bring the nastiness we need.

Picking up your 16th technical with 40 seconds left in the game to get a suspension is not the nastiness I'm looking for. I'm not bringing in a center with severe anger issues and a high usage rate that stops offensive movement without getting him on a steal. No way I'm trading Myles for him. I don't think he fits this team at all.

I love Turner's game but Cousins is on another level. Ok, he has an attitude problem but I would still love him on my team.

Miles can guard Jefferson and Teague or Monta can guard Korver.  You stick to Korver like glue(Like what the Thunder did last night), he does one thing and one thing only, float around the 3 point line and shoot 3's.  That's his scouting report, he shouldn't get 9 open 3 points ever.  He's not posting anyone up and he's not beating anyone off the dribble.  As for Love, LeBron and Thompson those guys u listed are way to small to defend them but McMillian should have went to a bigger line up.
