I couldn’t watch the game but he always talks about when his shot isn’t falling he can step it up in other areas...did he guard Luka or anything...I mean he is suppose to be all nba on both ends.

The Raptors are about to sweep the Nets and Boston swept the 76ers. Tomorrow I think the Heat will go ahead and sweep the Pacers It’s too bad really, because injuries really had an impact in the East. Philly missing Simmons, Boston missing Hayward, Indy missing Sabonis and a clearly hobbled Vic, and Brooklyn missing Kyrie (I don’t count Durant because he was always going to be out all year). That’s 5 All-Stars missing from the East. I don’t know if either series gets turned around completely, but they definitely would have been more exciting and gone a little longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 PG has had a rough series. Not much else can be said about it. I'm surprised the NBA didn't punish Harrell in some way, it sets a bad precedent. Having said that, I don't think Harrell is a bad guy, I think he said something really dumb in the heat of the moment. He didn't just issue an apology, he sought Luka out and apologized face to face. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is how it should be done...and honestly he doesn’t need to do anything more. It’s between him and Luca and if they make it good that is good enough for me. Takes a real man to apologize in person and not these fake press releases. Obviously if it kept continuing or was a habit then I can see people coming in to address it with him.

This gets old, just sayin. Everyone here gets a thrill poking me lol. If you’re serious, you’re just wrong i think PG must be hiding an injury. He is every year one of the highest and most efficient playoff scorers. He usually raises his scoring in the playoffs. Every year. He’s shooting horribly after the first playoff game. Seriously bad. Has to be something else going on, he’s never shot this poorly before in three straight games let alone the playoffs. But Leaving all that aside, Doncic is on the level of the next Bird. He’s a future HOF’er for sure 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Well last game the Heat was 43-52 from the line and McMillan complained afterwards. Wonder if it is just a coinencedence that the Heat did not shoot their first free throw until 30 seconds were left in the first quarter.

IU Scott Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Great the Pacers might have another injury with Warren going to the locker room with a thumb injury. VO is playing better but still is trying to do to much with the dribble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looks like the Pacers management made a mistake giving McMillan that extension. The offense is so stagnant and you just can tell the difference between the two teams offensively philosophy. The Heat moves the ball and Ayers are cutting. The Pacers dribble around and only set ball screens. On one possession only one person touched the ball and that was Brogdon who brought up the court. They actually started out ok with player movement and passing the ball but it is now totally stagnant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's playoff Paul. Just to make sure though. In 65 playoff games PG shot over 50% 22 times during his tenure here in Indy. Not sure where you come from or where you watch hoops....but to me 1/3 is 1/3. Not worth the hype. Good player. Never will be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 McMillan has had 4 games to try to figure out how to stop Miami's offense but still can't figure it out. Pritchard has done a very good job of putting together this team but the thing he hasn't done is draft well. The only players on this roster that was drafted by the Pacers are Turner, A. Holliday, Leaf and Gigs. Sunmner was traded for on draft night. I just think for a team like the Pacers they have to be great at drafting their own players.

IU Scott Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Nothing eptimize the Pacers offense than this possession than the were starting the weave a Brogdon gave the ball off to VO. Instead of keeping the weave going VO dribble out to all.ost mid court and dribbled the sit clock and and settled for a long 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Victor with all my IU heart. He's not a max guy though and I won't be surprised if Pritchard moves him this season if he doesn't take a reasonable extension. I want Vic in Indy. Always have always will but some guys need to find their place. He's a very good player. Occasionally great....but not a top 20 guy year in and year out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first year ad Pacers was more an anomaly than what you should expect. Last year even before the injury he was not playing great. I like VO but he seemed to changed after his first year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the time stamps of those two incidents where 1st Harrell powered Doncic and said that. Then Harrell flopped about 2 mins later and Doncic made the stop flopping big man comment. I could certainly be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Oladipo, no question, but he’s not a #1 on a championship contending team. Might not even be a #2. If he’s you’re #3 then you’re a legit championship team. As a #2 he needs to be with a LeBron, Giannis, etc. level player. There’s nothing at all wrong with that and it’s not a slight on Oladipo, but if you’re the Pacers you need to decide how much to commit to him? If I was Indiana, I would try to figure out how to have a full season with a healthy Oladipo and a Sabonis along with Brogdon before making any decisions. You have to see how those three work together healthy. Though I’d definitely see where the market sits for Turner and what I could turn him into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
