That's why you have teammates the other team is trying to. They game plan to take Vic away so he does the superstar thing and gets his guys going. That's Lebrons problem his guys are no where near being clutch. Bogey took Lebron out and he had no Bogey to get 30. I hope we don't need 30 from him again it might be Myles or Collison or like game 1 Domas. Its a team game but make no doubt this us Vic's city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I don't know how many watched the SC highlights last night or the commentary. But Legler praised Vic's 2nd half performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later on they had a reporter commenting on what the Cav's needed to do from here on out. He said LBJ needs to score 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danomatic Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I don’t see how 18 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals is a terrible performance. Not many guards in the league fill the stat sheet up like Vic does... in fact, it’s been mentioned at the end of the regular season that Vic’s season averages were close to legendary across the board. At the end of the night, what matters more than anything is... that his team wins the game. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve made it. Victor is trying to attain that level. I wish Vic would do a little less talking. Performances like tonight would be a little less glaring if you weren’t running around talking about “my city.” When you make it, then it can be “your city.” A fine example would be Peyton Manning.Hopefully he’s humbled by the past few nights and does a little more performing, and a little less talking. What? Oladipo does waaaaay less talking than most NBA superstars. I suppose you're a bit more exposed to it following the Pacers when he gets pumped at the end of a game... but seriously. Listen to the guy's postgame interviews and compare them to... well.... pretty much any NBA star (like Harden, LeBron, Westbrook, etc.). Also, regarding how Oladipo played: yes, he did not have a great first half (nor did the Pacers as a whole) - weren't ready for the aggressive double teams. But he adjusted very well and was huge in the second half. A big part of the reason Bogey got so many good looks is that Oladipo drew two Cavs players 40 feet from the basket and let his teammates play 4 on 3... The two people that won the game for the Pacers were cleary Bogey and Oladipo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I wonder if Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem, or even King LeBron himself ever went 5-15 in a playoff game? If not exactly 5-15, maybe 6-18. 7-21. 8-24, etc. Same thing....right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I only had to go back to last year to find a 4-13 performance by LeBron against the Celtics. And, he had an 8-24 performance the year before against Detroit. At age 25 (Vic's age right now), MJ had a 5-15 shooting night against Detroit in the conference finals. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jordami01/gamelog/1989/ That post criticizing Vic gets dumber and dumber when you look at reality.

Hoosierhoopster Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Really impressive come back W for the P’s and Bog had it going from the outside. LeBron is going to have to carry the Cavs on both ends, with contribution from Love, to win this series. I still think he does that and Cavs win in 6 or 7, but it’s certainly possible that the P’s pull this out. The Cavs D has been terrible all season and that’s a real obstacle for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing to watch the officials bail them out when they are walking around on defense in the 4th quarter. Not a good look for the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Last we played close and were swept 4-0. I don't want this to sound like I'm giving up or just happy being here...but 48 wins in year 1 and 2 wins vs Cavs is a big improvement over playoff P last year. I'll keep harping on it. Pacers and Vic are advertising/recruiting geniuses right now. We might actually have a chance to land a free agent this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll see we welcome both kinds here (Country and Western...hat tip Blues Brothers). I think it just caught most of us off guard criticizing Vic given his play and performance all season let alone what he's done in this series. 18-7-6 isn't a bad line.
