2017-2018 Indiana Pacers and Everything NBA Thread

[oldunclemark]

Cavs scored 69 points in the first half against the Bulls who are 'resting' 3 starters..

The commissioner's got to lay down some law there

[akcolt]

TJ SPLASH

[akcolt]

It's only 11

[oldunclemark]

          wow..TJ Leaf...looking like Karl Malone@!!!

 

105-98 with 1:00 left

[akcolt]

GR3 hit that it would have been interesting 

[oldunclemark]

 Oh no..Lance fouled out,,that'll do it

 

...whoa..Lance/.get out of therer...we need you..dont get suspended

[akcolt]

Double T on Lance and that might do it 

[oldunclemark]

109-102......as losses go...not a bad loss..and Lance found his game ....

we dont need help...we need health

[oldunclemark]

The good news (If there is any) is that we might not see Kevin Durant when we get to Golden State in 14 days

[oldunclemark]

   I'd like to see us get TJ Leaf in a little more tonight..

If we're short two forwards,  lets give the young boy a chance and let him shoot the ball. something we need.

 

He's hardly a monster in the paint and he wont be for a couple of years....

But if we use player Booker at center on the second team (looked like we were doing that at Washington) then give Leafs 10-15 minutes at the '4'

 

We have a need...he can shoot....and we wont be playing him in the post-season...so it would seem now is 'TJ time'

[oldunclemark]

I know we have not won a game in which Victor Oladipo did not play  but

I do not believe we have won a game in which Domantas Sabonis did not play, either./

[oldunclemark]

   Lakers 37, Pacers 29 (after one quarter)   37 points

[akcolt]

We are getting beat on the glass

We haven't won a game this season that Domas hasn't played I didn't realize that I knew we were winless minus Vic

[oldunclemark]

This is probably not a Big Al night...

 

They can go small with Randle at center and Al cant run with him

[akcolt]

Another second chance basket we have 5 guys watching the ball 

[akcolt]

Randle is a monster

[oldunclemark]

Brooke Lopez has found new life.....He's better in a faster pace game and I would not have guessed that

He developed a 3pt shot too Could you imagine TJ playing D on Randle?

Now that you mention that......maybe this isn't a 'TJ night' either

[akcolt]

3 fouls on Randle that's our best D sit him down

[2006Coltsbestever]

A lot of Offense tonight from both teams. Good comeback, only down 59-57 at Half.

[oldunclemark]

Cleveland 64, Milwaukee 57 (Halftime)

 

Kevin Love returns.....11 points at the half

[oldunclemark]

  Lonzo Ball is the worst looking shooter in the NBA

[akcolt]

Vic awakens let's not make it hard tonight 

[akcolt]

Be nice if the Hornets can get the 76ers

[oldunclemark]

   The pace..they like...is our pace, too.........85-74 now..we still may need 120

[akcolt]

Thad giving Randle a taste of his own medicine 

[oldunclemark]

The Lakers NEED Paul Geoerge, badly.....they dont have any strong defenders...at all

[oldunclemark]

Everybody's getting good shots...we're shooting 55%  96-87//10 minutes to go

[oldunclemark]

Lakers are 8-of-30 on 3s...        8 of 30

 

[oldunclemark]

Isaiah Thomas doesn't fit on this team either....They already have a lot of gunners who cant defend..

 

once they cooled off. Lakers didn't put up much of a fight `106-90...much needed win coming up

Edited March 20, 2018 by oldunclemark
spell

[oldunclemark]

110-100    5 in double figures.......and the Pacers (41-30) will finish at .500 or better...this year.

 

That's goal number one

[akcolt]

Good W  Our D after the 1st really took over on to New Orleans I'll be in the stands for that one 

[Bluefire4]

Yay.

41 wins, Blue..

..at the start of the season I just hoped we'd finish .500 and make the playoffs. That was the goal.

 

..now with Charlotte guaranteed to be eliminated by they time we play them twice....we could get to 46-36
