That's not the Spurs best lineup for sure, but that's not exactly a bad lineup either.

Wonderful article. Very good to see things are better with his father.

Vic hit the game winner. I believe that is his third this season.

That means he didn't have a good game, right?

That Celts-Rockets ending was PATHETIC officiating.

Totally agree. The question is could they win a first round series against a Milwaukee, Toronto or Washington? I'm not sure at this point.

I think at this point it's fair to discuss of the Pacers can be competitive in a 7 game series with Cleveland or Boston. I don't think we could win, but I think we would win a couple games against either of them.

Not bad for a guy who tore his ACL less than a year ago. Would've loved to have him instead of Leaf on the Pacers.

This week's FiveThirtyEight NBA podcast is wonderful and has a section on Vic. I highly recommend checking it out. They discuss other guys having this big a jump this late in their career and if it's sustainable.

I don't know that I've ever seen the road team shoot 5x free throws in any basketball game. And this wasn't an issue of the Pacers giving fouls late, that didn't happen a single time.

Maybe PG will hit a game winner to bail out his pathetic night.

PG is 2/10.

Good start for the Pacers against Snowflake 13. Love this team. They've got 8 quality guys in the rotation the just repeatedly make the right play, and maybe 9 when G-Rob gets back.

Gordon Hayward is out of the boot. I know the Celtics are saying he won't be back this year but at the rate he is progressing you know it will be tempting to add him to the rotation. If he can provide 15-20 minutes of quality ball from the bench he could put them over the top in the ECF.

Ended up with 47 in a double digit comeback win.

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.

It could be that both teams "won" though. I don't think PG resigns in OKC, but it seems like the trade did help them keep Westbrook. On the flip side, the Pacers got a guy who is statistically replacing PG and carrying himself in a way that has a better impact on the team as well as a guy who could be a double double machine for years to come.

Too bad they weren't able to trade for Paul George...

Vic with 36 points on 22 shots in the loss tonight.

I've gotten crotchety with a few of your ex-wives.

Well, it kinda is his job...

Turner is younger than everyone else in question, but I think he has Superstar type talent. I know the Pacers feel like he is more advanced at this age than anyone they've ever had. That's a question mark, but it isn't crazy to think he can be an elite player in two years.

I'm not sure I agree about their potential. Turner, Sabonis and Vic are all the guys who could be regular All-Stars. I wish we had OG to pair with them instead of Leaf, but I think this core is oozing with potential.

Right now Paul George is better than Vic. If Vic continues this play for a season, it's fair to have he conversation if he has caught him. History only has a small part of the pie when discussing who is the better player, but the sample size isn't big enough to say Vic has caught him... Yet. The better discussion for Vic might be when can we start talking about him as the best two guard in the East?
