He takes good quality shots, takes it to the paint, dunks it, lays it in and more. The guy just flat out does everything while still playing defense, rebounding, getting some asst and steals. For him to come in and play at that level is great. I just hope he keeps it up and even gets better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakai432 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Welp, heck of a game for Victor. Collison and Thad also played well, that's about it lol. Everyone else took a dump but I didn't expect them to win this one. At least it was semi competitive and Turner probably would've helped a lot. Still 3:21 left to perform a miracle. I still already like this team better than last years team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 WOW. Huge win tonight for the young Lakers in OT against the Wizards. Fun game. I was watching this most of the night over the world series. Gotta admit, I may have been very very wrong on Lonzo Ball. I let his dad over shadow things for me. He does not always score but he is the opposite of ball hog and the offensive movement on that team impresses the heck out of me. Lonzo even played some defense tonight. I admit I am really enjoying watching the development of Lonzo Ball early on and also Jayson Tatum in Boston who might be the smoothest rookie out there.

Is it possible just to have a back and forth and take it for what it is? As far as being a Pacer fan I don't know if you or me have been one longer but it don't make any difference. I attended my first Pacer game in 1967 before Slick was their coach. Larry Staverman was their coach then. My best friend lived next door and his father was a photographer for the Star-News newspaper. He had polio so my friend and me would attend all the Pacer games and help him set up his equipment. I was there in person pretty much every home game at the Fairgrounds from 1967 to 1973. I had so many jerseys and lots of cool stuff from those games but lost it all in a house fire at my Mom's house in 1980. Look, we may not have a present 'star' but we may have a couple of future starts in Turner and Oladipo in the works. This team plays as a team and not one player plays selfish. They hustle and play hard. They are fun to watch and could make some noise with a couple of good moves. It's not a point if your right but why not just sit back and enjoy basketball played the way it's suppose to be played? After what we have seen over the last few years it's refreshing to see a team play the way they do. This is Indiana basketball played the old fashion way without a me-me attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Celtics looked pretty good tonight on the road vs. a good team with the Greek Freak buzz. I have to keep trying not to think "what if" in terms of Hayward. Since I swear, with Hayward this team could win the east.........omg it kills me at times. He is that missing X factor. But if the Celtics can do better then expected this year I hope they can consider finally giving Brad Stevens coach of the year, since he deserves it. Kryie is starting to look more comfortable now too. And I feel this year Al Horford has stepped it up in a leadership role. In the meantime in Cavs land IMO they desperately have to hope IT can come back sometime this year healthy. Wade is up and down and missed a game. Rose is hurt (shocker). They can't seem to decide on a starting lineup and they lost to the freaking Nets. And Lebron is getting topsy turvy but he is still great. Turnovers are killing the Cavs though and I wish they could just keep Kevin Love in the same role he used to have. I noticed they rely sometimes on Korver getting hot again. Still the Cavs will be the faves in the east yet again by year end unless Gordon Hayward can make a miraculous return. The Wizards should be there in the end too, but something mentally about this team and their coaching often makes me hesitate. One fun thing about the Celtics is with Gordon Hayward out the pressure is kinda off of them now so they can let the youth develop and just play ball..

This year it's still too early though for me to have a firm grasp on a lot of the teams and their chances outside of the "usual suspects" who we already knew would be in the mix. With the Lakers, they are still too young and inconsistent but the potential is clearly there for them to be a good team someday. Lonzo does look like a natural fit with them and yes he does make those around him better. And his unselfish style of playing the PG role is refreshing to actually see. BTW on a side note, with the Golden State Warriors, I often feel this team don't peak until the second half of the season. I remember last year they looked sluggish and had defensive issues UNTIL later in the year when they flipped the switch and turned it on. The Warriors are so damn talented that I pretty much expect them to turn it up a huge notch later unless they get lazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were more talented then last years Celtics but they got out coached and rattled which is how they lost the series in 7.

Magic Johnson is the 2nd best player of all-time I don't care what Stephen A or Max says, people are brainwashed into thinking LeBron is #2. He isn't better than Magic, Magic was more clutch, won more Championships, and was the best leader I have ever seen.

Maybe if Isaiah Thomas (a big if) can come back later and is healthy and can be his old self that would help a ton and set them on fire a bit. Right now they look like a mess but like I said it's early. One of these years Lebron will show his age and so will the Cavs and they won't win the east but until then it's hard to say they won't win the east again until proven otherwise. I won't lie though, if Lebron loses the finals again it will hurt his legacy a bit since after a while even if it's not entirely his fault those add up and just look bad from a historical perspective.

I think LeBron is awesome but I would put Jordan and Magic ahead of him, Magic won a Championship in his rookie season when Kareem was even out. That is unreal. As a Rookie Magic had 42/15/7 against the Sixers who was loaded to win it all. LeBron is in my Top 10 easily. If I was to ask you, who would you take LeBron or Shaq, what would you say? I would take Shaq but LeBron is very special. Would you take LeBron over Kobe? Then there is Larry too for 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like us to run Bogdonovic off the screen and get him shots early.

Be careful with 'the guy who passes the ball' is a better team player and the 'guy who shoots the ball" is not. Jordan drove his teammates to win and he had a lot less to work with than Magic.

Jordan drove his teammates to win and he had a lot less to work with than Magic. Jordan was also a defensive superstar. Defense is also being a team player. Its a different era but no one playing today is the equal of Michael Jordan (in his prime) defensively I do have Jordan #1 on my list but IMO Magic is 2nd, LeBron is a Great player though.
