That isn't something that someone that has never won the MVP says. Indeed...Paul George thinks the nba is a horseshoe league. He has that imaginary trophy sitting next to his multiple championship rings...you know those times he almost beat Lebron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was betting on himself, for the money, but he bet on himself on the team with terrible management and front office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Yogi needs to be on a playoff caliber team. Bad teams are full of young/high draft picks that management wants to get run and opportunities for. He hurts you on defense but he needs a team that needs a little offense off the bench...maybe a 3rd pg. At this stage he needs 8-10 mins a night....but consistently getting those minutes not just in blow outs. He can be a good rotational piece for a team that could use some shooting off the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Sacramento did get rid of Divac and has a new GM. Their situation is a bit of a cluster but for their sake I hope the new GM is shrewd and starts building that team smartly. I feel bad for the long time fans of a pro team that can’t seem to do anything right. The Clippers used to be like that. The Pacers of the early to mid 1980s were a mess like that.

IU Scott Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Watching the Pacers pre season game and they are playing at a faster pace than they did under McMillan. They never shot many 3's before but in the first quarter they shot 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Pacers. 4 of 20 from 3. 40 points with about 2.5 mins to play in the half. Like Scott said. Trying to play faster but it is definitely not anything pretty or looks engrained yet. Playing smaller guard wise out of the gate with Holiday, Brogden, Olidipo with the 2 bigs. It would work if Turner can hit deep. Sabonis shot a three too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_iu_bb Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Mark Cuban and the Mavs gave J.J. Barea a $2.6M one year deal right before releasing him as a thank you. Classy move.

NotIThatLives Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hate to admit it but Darius Garland looks like he's going to be really good for years to come. Also, Lamelo Ball. Not sure if he can score but he had 10 boards 4 assists in 16 minutes and looked great doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Hope Warren won't be out to long for the Pacers because bwr need his scoring. He has a foot injury Edited December 13, 2020 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see him in the League. He’s fundamentally excellent. He’s been overcoming the limitations that most thought would keep him from making it. You can be a solid NBA play on strong fundamentals, a great understanding of the game, and effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unbelievable, and while Durant is far more accomplished he also doesn't handle to spotlight the best all of the time. I can see Durant completely losing his mind by mid season if Kyrie is hogging the ball and not talking to the media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Pacers got out to a 26-6 lead hit 6-8 3's but after the starters wen out Cleveland made a huge run. After 1 the score is 35-32 Pacers. It is obvious they are trying to play faster and shoot 3's which is a lot different than McMillan. The first game the Pacers shot 44 3 pointers.

IU Scott Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I hope it is just the pre season but it is hard watching these Pacers game. One thing is with announcers not there plus microphones you can't hear when the whistle blows. Granted tonight the Pacers are without 4 players with 3 key players missing but these games have not been very good. This won't be popular but I enjoy watching the Pacers better when VO is not playing. It seems like the other players play more feely when VO is not in the lineup.

Artesian_86 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) I’m ok with the Pacers loosing these early, pre-season games etc. I can tell the difference the “new” Nate is trying establish....fast pace, scoring outside by droves. This will take a bit, and have to endure turn overs and growing pains, but I like this new concept. Vic will have to keep up, get better or move over.
