He built the Warriors, former Pacer great Another possible, haven’t checked if he’s still available Kenny Atkinson - did great with the Nets I would target Atkinson if I were the Pacers. What he did in Brooklyn was pretty incredible. I’m not a Nate McMillian fan as far as coaching, I think he’s pretty middle of the road, but with that said when you look at the Pacers without Sabonis and a still recovering Oladipo, Miami is just a better team. They just are. They have the best player in the series, Bam is the best big with Sabonis out, and they have far more shooting. To be honest, while Toronto is definitely a formidable 2nd round opponent if the Celtics advance and that should be a great series, Im glad to not have to see Miami in the 2nd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Draft Lottery is on and I bet the NBA will make sure the Warriors gets the first pick LOL! or maybe the Knicks. Actually not a really good year to get the top pick. Edited August 21, 2020 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS for obvious reasons, and for Minny while I don’t really like either KAT or Russell, they are both young All-Stars but they’re not that young in terms of years in the league anymore. They don’t need another #1 pick trying prove himself and making young mistakes, they need to surround KAT and Russell with another high level, but established player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a basketball perspective, the bubble has been a phenomenal success, but from a financial one I’d guess Silver is going to do anything he can to hold off next season as long as they can to hope that they can have home arenas with ticket buyers in the seats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True...but the NBA has been discussing pushing back the season for years. Going up against football is not good for marketing. Add a late finish to this season and late offseason, draft, and yes Covid it is the smart thing to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Another slow start for the Pacers down 16-8. Miami had already hit 4 3's where the Pacers are 0-4 from 3. To me watching them since the restart I don't think VO and Brogdon works well together. Both want the ball in their hands and the ball gets stuck in their hands to much.

IU Scott Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Spolestra is totally out coaching McMillan in this series. McMillan can't figure out how to stop their offense and they are getting wide open shots. They actually have player movement and off the ball screens.

Second, stating the team should now trade Vic (who’s clearly not fully healthy yet) is knee - jerk frustration at how the team is playing now, short-handed and not healthy, and flat out ignores how well Vic has played, consistently, as the team’s best player before his injury. So Warren broke out in the bubble — but how is he scoring now, in the playoffs, guarded by Butler? Obviously, he’s largely shut down. Who has shut Vic down, when healthy? What did Vic do in the last playoffs, healthy? Your over-reaction is extreme, and ignores that the Pacers are just out-matched right now due to circumstances and btw Duncan Robinson has turned into an extremely good nba player, the kid is ballin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a smaller market team you just have a level that is hard to get past in the NBA. Unless you get lucky in the draft like San Antonio or now Milwaukee where you get a super star. We will see Milwaukee in a couple of years losing Gannis to free agency. Also with Vic I am getting the same feeling I got from PG where I think he no longer wants to be here in Indy.

Ok I can understand where you’re coming from - but I think you’re reading into things and I generally don’t agree with your perception. I don’t get the vibe Vic wants to leave. I just see a not fully healthy player and a depleted squad getting outplayed by a complete squad. Who know with Greek Freak. Players who stayed - Dirk, Duncan, among others, and of course 18 years of Reggie. Giannis is repeatedly on a best record team with a real shot at winning a NC. Middleton though needs to raise his game in the playoffs, and the Bucks may need to add another high level scorer. I don’t see Giannis as a leave-to-team up player. I’d bet on him staying, at least as of now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
