Proud2BAHoosier Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Watched on TV and after the game Vic took off his shoes and autographed them and then gave them away to kids in the crowd..... Pretty Cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic is having such a fantastic year, so far, if he keep this kind of play up he will have earned his way into discussion with the top group of guards. What's been most impressive to me has been how efficiently he's scored so far this season, he's really raised his outside game. Still a lot of season to go, but man did he find a great fit with this Pacers squad. He is doing so much better than he did last season, with Westbrook, who, unfortunately, is still playing like he did last season instead of working to move the ball around with PG and Melo (Thunder rank something like 25th in assists, right now, way too much iso ball) I am still in a wait and see mode as to whether that Thunder squad gets it together, if they do -- like when they beat Golden State -- they're really good. If they don't, they still got what they wanted in getting Russ to commit to a long-term deal. So far, the Melo addition was a bad one. The PG comparison stuff though is just silly. Leaving aside we're talking two diftferent teams, and that Vic had a really bad year while playing with Westbrook like PG is currently trying to do (golly), did you know PG is leading the League right now in steals, as in #1? He's actually playing great D overall, while playing up and down offensively -- funny how it seems to coincide with Melo either not being on the floor, when PG had huge games, or not controlling possession. I wonder when people will just enjoy Vic doing well without the silly stuff about PG. I hope they both end up having great seasons -- go Vic.

Well for one thing, they got traded for each other so it'll be fair to compare them until the end of time. I don't know how much you actually watch the Pacers being down in Houston and having a very busy job, but it's a night and day difference this season versus the past couple.

I can't believe the year he's putting together and he just keeps getting better. Love it! This performance puts him in a new level of respect in the league. Not many guys can drop 47 in a game!

BobSaccamanno Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I loved Sabonis at Zaga. He’s got the ass kicking mentality that’s going to bring a winner’s edge. I’d want a college big like he was anytime. And I’d say Oladipo is the biggest surprise and break out star of the year. But, we’ve seen him do it before. He exploded his junior year at IU and skyrocketed into being the second pick on the draft. I’d say we know what he’s all about by now. He’s athletic, tough, and a worker. I’m surprised by his good he’s been, but should I have been as a fan of his? The Pacers are a big feel good story this year and they did great in the trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
