I dont want to give Vic the kiss of death but i expect for him to be in the MVP discussion this year.

it does not bother me either way and I have no dog in the fight but just out of curiosity why the ban? I don't partake so I just dont click on it. I know that on our board we discuss many things and have good hearted discussion, debate and silly discussion and that is what separates this board from all the rest. Like I said it does not matter one way or the other was just wondering? Did some people get out of control?

I never said that but i did say i dont think he is top 10 to 15 because he is not clutch. No disputing that 1. I like him but to be the stud go to top 10ish player you need to be a cold blooded assassin. PG is a likable soft cuddly teddy bear😁

My guess is if we did not see it, he did not have it to show

You literally got an lol and a spit take on that one. Well done my friend

I feel the only regret i can see us that Cuban wont hire him after his playingdays are through. 😀

If the Raptors are the best team in the East the Pacers are not far off. Watching this game I think the Pacers would be up 2-0

To think what the thunder gave up for 1 year of PG13

Just came across this video of what Vic was saving for the finals of the dunk contest. Watch it a few times to truly appreciate. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/02/indiana-pacers-victor-oladipo-all-star-dunk-contest-practice-amazing-video

I thought Isiah for sure but it is Walt. 14 years. little over a 1000 games.

yes it does

without looking it up can you tell me which former Hoosier played the most NBA games in their career?

Did anyone else notice that Yogi played all 82 games this year. According to many people IU has been down lately and yet we currently have 9 players in the NBA. 3 of which avg double figure scoring. Vic at 23, EG at 18 and Yogi at 11.

Anyone see CTC after the game. Working with Vic on his free throw motion. Vic has had 3 of last 4 games missed back to back free throws. Great to see coach still supporting and coaching. IU IS A better place for having had a guy like Tom Crean as it's coach

You are correct. I not sure he does deserve it either but... We could also make a great argument the Vic is the MVP maybe not league but without doubt he and LeBron are the most important to their respective teams.

100 percent agree. The best team does not mean best coach. I also feel it is the coach that did the most with what they have and over achieved.

I understand how it works and also know he's not getting it. My point is he should be even though he isn't getting serious consideration.

Pre Season predicted standings Current Standings +/- Rockets 2nd in west 1st +1 Trailblazers 8th west 3rd +5 Celtics 2nd in East 2nd E Raptors 3rd in East 1st +2 Pacers 12 in East 5th +7 Maybe I am a homer but I don't see much evidence that any of these coaches are over achieving like MacMillian

Projected By Vegas Current Win Total Games over projection Rockets 56 62 +6 Celtics 54 53 -1 Raptors 48 55 +7 Blazers 41 48 +7 Pacers 31 46 +15

I think he should be. All the teams you named have notable all stars and were expected near the top of their divisions. The rockets are Warriors lite. Celtics loss Hayward but still a solid playoff team without him. Not 1 of those teams are more than +5 over their expected win prediction and the Pacers are almost +20. I know he has no chance but with a team with 1 all star that people joked about after the trade and to be .5 games out of 3rd is remarkable.

Given the fact the over under was 31 wins. Is nate mcMillan in the conversation for Coach of the Year? If not why?

Defenses have been trying to take him away lately and when the Pacers dont hit open shots it works. If they are on pick your poison. So far there has not been any player able to stop Vic in one on one. His move that I love is when he makes a lot of space and goes full speed to get defender moving back just to pull up and hit the 3. Then if you dont back pedal he blows right on by.

3rd in the East who would of thunk it
