Man the Pacers offense is so stagnant compared to what it was in the first part of the regular season. Sabonis is such a good passer and screener it allows the offense to flow. Without him it appears we just try the pick and roll then the guard just goes one on one.

Watching nthis Pacers game but it sure does not feel like I am watching a playoff game. Usually if the Pacers play bad I would get yelling at the TV but watching this is almost like watching summer league game.

Even in the bubble the Pacers gets screwed by the refs. Even the ESPN announcers was going off on the call.

Was watching the Raptors/Nets game and found another reason to hate going for 2 for 1 at the end of the quarter. The nets get the ball with 33 seconds and Lavert just goes one on one and shot a fade away 20 footer that missed. The next possession the nets only have 6 seconds that resulted in another bad 3 point shot at the buzzer. so instead of getting at least one good shot they got two horrible shots.

Just heard this terrible stat for the NBA. The show 90 day fiance had a higher rating than any NBA game on Friday. I know having games in the middle of the day will hurt ratings but this is not a good sign. I know people take off for the NCAA tournament when the games are on during the afternoon but I don't see that happening in the NBA.

Maybe Brad Stevens is ready to come home LOL!

I don't think he is great but when I look at the candidates out there when there are openings just don't blow me away. I just don't know who would be out there that would be an upgrade over him. Also the offense I think is hurt with the starters is that there are no one to spread the court. Warren has been shooting great down in the bubble but the rest of the starters are not great shooters. It seems like when the team is healthy and the second unit the offense runs great. You had both Holidays and McDermott to pen the court up Also they say that Sabonis really helps the second unit because he is a great screener.

Just haven't matched up well with the Heat this year. They play very good defense and has a lot of length and athletic ability. To me it always seems like the Pacers just does not have the really long athletes that really help on defense. Turner is a great shot blocker but that does not mean he is a great defender. it seems most of the his blocks are coming off his man for the block. As a one one defender in the low block he is not great.

Last couple of years that is he story of the pacers where they just can't stay healthy. That is why I think McMillians has been a pretty good coach with winning as much as they have. His problem is not being able to get out of the first round in his career.

Well it looks like the Pacers has the lost the home court advantage LOL! Seems like they have let the Heat play pretty physical defense and did not call a lot of fous when warren was going to the basket.

Just seem like early on he was trying to do to much on his own

should have kept the bench in especially Sampson over Turner.

My bad but VO had two or three TO's trying to drive between two defenders

Grogisch(?) is killing us and should not have Aaron Holiday guarding him.

The offense seams to run better with the second unit until the last possession.

I an talking about Turner

I like Sabonis at the 5 then at the 4 I want a long athletic guy who can shoot. Turner tries to play that way but he is not that athletic. He is an elite shot blocker but the rest of his game is average.

I saw him miss at least 3 3's in the 3rd quarter. He is just to timid for me and he just lacks confidence on the offensive end. To me this off season they need to move him

They have no inside game and they are missing Sabonis inside game badly. Turner just drives me crazy because if he goes against a competent center he gets dominated.

Pacers offense just stagnating because all it is a pick and role and then having the guy with the ball dribble until they have to take a bad shot at the end of the clock.

Myles Turner is killing the Pacers with turnovers and can't hit a shot. Most 6'11 guys who has a 3 inch advantage would go inside to have a mismatched but we have him around the 3 line.

VO went out with an injury and he was trying to do to much himself

Magic beat the Bucks pretty easily today. I remember though a couple of times the Pacers won game 1 of a series as an 8th seed. After that they lost the next 4 of the series so I still expect the Bucks to win the series.

Season or career?

Murray was big in OT for the Nuggets
