3 games in 4 nights..all losses..

 

..we miss Sabonis against team like the Pistons..Oladipo 7-of-20.......we seem to flame out offensively late in games

 

Yeah I feel like the Pacers have a brutal schedule so far with multiple back to backs.  Yeah they have to find their mojo again and get a win, very soon!  Sabonis being out and Turner doesn't seem to really be in game shape.  We'll see how they fair in the next few games.  I thought their record would be around 35-40 wins.

IMO Paul George failed at giving an honest 100% effort every night on both ends of floor and being a leader . He has the me me me syndrome, nothing against you my friend I like you . that is and has b

Mark is on an island here. I wouldn't waste too much energy on changing his mind. This team is going to the promise land.. woot.

Finally got to make it out to a game this season tonight with the youngster. Had a good time as always.    Yo, if I see Turner shoot one more three I’m gonna rush the court and vomit on him.

I still think they win 32 games maximum like I did at the start of the season. This schedule has to be the most grueling in the league to start off the season, but it will cool down soon. I think we have a full week and a half of home games the first week of December.

Another lead lost in this one. This time it was just early in the game. It all comes down to shot selection for me. We've taken a lot of mid-range jumpers while the Pistons are getting into the paint.

Not to mention the total lack of defense. Good defense is almost a thing of the past in the NBA in general.

That projection is still valid..

We're missing those 10 rebounds a game Sabonis was giving us......

 

..but there are signs of life from Lance..Im still encouraged...

Yeah I agree, I think they will still win 35-40 games.  Just gotta get back, get Myles back into the swing of it and Sabonis back.

OUCH!

 

You got to have a strong stomach to watch the Celtics this year with blood gushing from faces and ankles being snapped in half.

 

No Horford or Irving. Brad Stevens in desperation mode going "Hack-a-Howard".

That is my look at Lonzo Ball everytime he shoots!

 

Poor kid, really he is having so many issues shooting and stuff. I almost feel sorry for him since I know so many are making jokes about it.

 

I know before he was drafted some scouts said his shooting form was seriously off. But they also were afraid to fix it too.

 

Someone needs to work with him maybe on the side, hopefully Kobe can give him some help.

He does everything else well, he is a Great passer and a Good Rebounder but he cant shoot. Jason Kidd only shot 38% as a rookie so we will see. Kidd also was awful from the 3 point land but got Good as he got older.

I thought a few times the other night I saw Lonzo play some decent defense vs. the Celtics too. The thing is, I think LaVar didn't want anyone to change his shooting since it worked in college. Me thinks LaVar might change his mind soon.......

Yeah Lonzo is a Great Passer, Good Rebounder, and I would say an Above Average Defender because he has decent length. He just needs to improve his shot.

Damn, Celtics must be the best defensive team in the league (they are). They should be down 40 in this game since without the Kyrie/Horford combo they can't get much going on offense at all. Being down only 12 at the end of the third is a shocker.

Not looking good for Boston tonight, they are under manned though. Stevens needs a miracle tonight.

Hmm lets see if Brad Stevens can do it. Celtics making a comeback without Kyrie. Now down by 3.

 

Even if they lose they are showing the sort of effort the Cavaliers SHOULD be showing but their lazy entitled over paid bums won't do it because defense and rebounding is too much work.

I cannot believe Boston just won this game. Holy crap. Brad Stevens is God. I thought they were doomed without Kyrie and Horford tonight.

 

Just wow........

 

Hornets should have put them away easily in the third but Boston plays some serious defense......

Look who is on their team Dwight 'Spineless' Howard, most overrated player of all-time. Nevertheless I agree still a miracle win considering Kyrie and Horford were out.

      Gus Bradley and Defense Appreciation

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      That’s because outside of a “hurt” Leonard and Buckner no one on the defense is a house hold name outside of Indy.  You are right though they are talented.  I think Buckner and Stewart are the best DT combo in the league and I’ll still put the Colts 4-3 linebackers up against anyone in the league.  The key is the secondary, as young as they are (outside of Kenny Moore) they are going to make mistakes at times but they showed what they can be vs Baltimore.  If they play more games like that then not this defense could be special.

      OhioColts early college watchlist and potential FA targets breakdown

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Do have edge Laiatu Latu (UCLA) as a senior where in Week 1 he had an impressive outing with 3 sacks, 3 hits and 4 hurries to earn 93.9 PFF pass-rushing grade earning 2023 PFF TOW 1 honors.  DL Leonard Taylor III, Miami Hurricanes, Sophomore was another player deeper on my watch list that I left off who earned 2022 PFF TOW 8 honors.   Good find on Roman Hembry of Maryland.  Averaging over 5 yards per carry and 9+ yards per catching.  Impressive stat line from 2022 and seems to be repeating for 2023.      WR-Z Adonai Mitchell (Texas), Junior.  Missed 9 games in 2022 due to an ankle injury.  Impressive one-handed catch in the National Championship game where he played for Georgia in 2022.  Risk/reward potential as could see his draft stock rise if he remains healthy.  Will he declare for the draft or risk another injury?

      I'll agree on the mid-season but his reset really helped and Heyward was a gold glover, not expecting that from Seiya.  It was a bad miss by him, but it shouldn't have been a matter. The Cubs blew it with Ross poor decision is my biggest issue. Since it seems like PCA is only there for D, who brings him in so early. Like I just can't figure out how ross is this dumb. I'm hoping he's fired after season especially if they miss Ross is biggest weakness. He taxed bullpen super early in year

      @LJpalmbeacher2,   I would still be weary of putting Cincy that high. I get it though because of the last 2 years and Burrow is great. Burrow to me doesn't look near 100% healthy though. I still think the Ravens win that division.
