Parakeet Jones Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 To have any hope at all in this series, the Pacers have to get one of these first two in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Admittedly I don't watch much regular season NBA....mostly because of the effort. I love playoff hoops though. Pacers bringing it but 25 point leads aren't safe vs most of the league and especially vs Lebron. PS...I shouldn't know who Zach Zarba is already. Reminder why I don't watch much NBA hoops. 3-4 of those calls were just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 If the Cavs did not have the refs on their side the Pacers would be up 25 at half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Pacers up 16 and I'm just sitting here waiting for Cavs to hit their gear but I must say. Vic and Pacers just playing harder. Still nervous. Had a few chances at 21 to push this thing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I’ll never count out any team lead by LeBron, but I can definitely appreciate the way this Pacers team is playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Exactly what I've been nervous about. Turnovers and open layups, missed shots by Pacers are great friends to teams like Cavs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 This quarter is what makes the NBA hard to watch and makes it a joke. As long as I remember the stars gets so many calls that influences the game. Also today's NA is so soft and the players are soft as well. You barely touch a player and they are looking at it for a flagerant foul. It is so much easier to score today because players don't fear going to the basket.

Drroogh Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Having a hard time watching this! Looks more like a WWE event with all of the play acting with every contact! No doubt these guys are great players, but what I'm watching is not what I call basketball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Cavs will probably make a run, but I think the P's will pull this game out. I don't think they'll win the series and think it probably goes Cavs in 6 or 7, but regardless how it ends, the P's are good and Vic is outstanding. Hats off.

IUalum Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Where did Victor and OG learn to play defense? Vic leads the league in steals this year. He has exploded. they are double teaming him and trying to keep the ball out of his hands. 32 pts with 2 min to go. Special player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Huge stones by Vic. Asked for the ball and delivered at closing time. Wish we could bring that old trade thread up from last summer. Yes..it's petty. Anyway...big win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D - That’s really not fair. Crean and staff clearly developed both - Crean is outstanding at developing players for the NBA and it started with Wade, who continues to call him his best coach. Crean obviously had his weaknesses, but individual player development, on both sides of the ball, was not one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed the rules on contact, particularly on the perimeter, to spur increased scoring as that’s what fans want. It’s much easier for guards to score today, no doubt, but then the talent and shooting ability of today’s guards / point guards is fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 HH, no doubt Crean was incredible at identifying talent that could be developed and then did a very good job of developing that talent. But let's be honest the success was more in identifying the talent to begin with. Both OG and Victor have continued to develop their talent without Crean! Yes individual players did develop as defenders with his emphasis on deflections and such, but teaching defense was definitely not one of Crean's strong suits!
