If the Pacers win tonight they would have the same record as the Warriors and the 3rd best in the league. Pretty impressive. I see all this hype for the Raptors and the Pacers are only a couple games back.

This is a fun team to watch. My wife hates the NBA unless we have good seats and she even likes this team.

Oh no dont bring up THE TRADE.. VBG

exactly being such a beast does not always go your way. Refs allow certain players to get mugged

Not a LBJ fan but I think he does not always get the benefit of the doubt. Harden that's another level, he is in rarified Air with MJ in those regards.

My memory is not the greatest, how did that work out for him? 😀 The great ones just do what is asked. IIRC center as a rookie replacing the arguably the best center of all time. In the NBA finals none the less

I think we could get him for the 1980's price tag

I agree with a lot of that sentiment. VO did not shine with the Thunder I feel he is better suited and wants the ball and the pressure. PG is a great player but being the man is not the best role for him IMO. Not a bash in any way, no more so than its a bash on VO for me saying he could not excel with Russ.

What sour grapes do you speak of? PG is better suited as Robin to Russ Batman, and VIC is more suited to be the Superman of the Pacers. Win win for everyone. No sour grapes I still root for PG and love seeing him do well. Each players is in a better situation after the trade.

Can I get permission to like this 100,000 times😀😀

Permission granted.😀

I love PG but I like to ruffle your feathers a little. Who is the better player for 47 minutes probably PG. who do I want in crunch time VO 10 out of 10 times. If the goal is to be a good team and lose in the final seconds because you cant close PG is the man if you want a guy to get the job done the majority of the time closing out games take VO. I think PG will shine as a#2 and VO will as a #1

I was coming on to say congrats to PG.great game what we should have been treated to more here in Indy but.... With all that being said ESPN put a graphic up 1st time in career PG hit a go ahead shot with less 5han 10 sec. 0-14. Now 1-15. No sour grapes just fact. Give me the late game assassin everyday of the week. VO>PG. 😀😀😀😀😀

I answered that in Rico post. I had not followed last 2 weeks at that time jazz were playing better I looked at the games without Vic and thought this one to be a loss

I chalked this one up as an L in my mind. That's a big win

In this instance both offense and defense traveled. Lol

Yes in my experience defense does travel

You have to have the ball to travel😀😀😀

Even more important yes. Like most say this team is vastly improved over last years

Poorly worded. I meant games he did not play at all. That's a good sign to win without Vic.

IIRC 1st without Vic, since joining the Pacers

Darn you Rico. I knew he was a ball boy for knight and totally spaced it. Well done Mr. Fountain of useless Knowledge.

Amen. Do it til they stop you. The guys on the other side are professions also. IMO in pro sports their is no such thing as running up the score. Those players are paid and coaches paid to stop the other team.

The more i think about this the more shocked i am that anyone has an issue with the number of shots. 58 from 3 is like 89% from 2. If your center is shooting 90 % from the floor he better get a touch every poseession. Either the issue is sarcasm or i am really confused on why 24 shots is a bad thing

I would think 14-24 is a very impressive percentage from 3. From a coaches perspective i would be saying why only 24 shots? Your arm get tired? That's 58% from 3. If i could hit that percentage i would shoot 50 of them a game
