I don't know. I just feel like there's room for discussion here. I think you are annoyed because Myles is a 4 playing the 5. He isnt and will never be a banger. I find if you blame the Pacers for playing his out of position you like him more. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his usage rate really sky rockets I might have an aneurism though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Pacers not where they should be as a team yet this year, but it's mind-boggling to think that Sabonis was the extra throw-in on the Oladipo-George trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 HUGE second half from Vic. Took a low volume of shots in the first half trying to spread it around, but second half he took over and won us the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Sabonis numbers amended...he was 12/12 from the field for 30 before fouling out. Unbelievable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Sabonis and Oladipo for Paul George. Hahahahaha.....still remember the rip fest some of us took when on the day of the trade in one of these threads a few of us said the Pacers got the better end of the deal.

I was with you man...liked the trade from day one. Admittedly, it was as much about the character if the players at the time, but I also loved the idea of getting younger talented players who could grow into a role. I may have underestimated Sabonis though...i just viewed him as a bonus role player. He may end up a fair amount better than that ...but yes...I remember well the ridicule some of us took for liking the trade when it was announced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I just feel like there's room for discussion here. Was not a fan of extending his contract because I want to keep Sabonis long term over Turner. They don't seem to be able to play together so to me they have to choose one or the other and that should be Sabonis. To me Turner is not a tough enough player around the basket and can't rebound well enough because he can't hold his position. If it was me in charge I would have tried to trade him this off season but maybe they can do it next off season. Something just does not seem right with the Pacers and something is missing. The last few games they are not moving the ball like they did earlier and VO is trying to do to much at times which is hurting the team. Luckily last night VO picked it up in the 4th to seal the win against a bad Knicks team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong here but I think one big difference is that after last year where they took the league by surprise and many doubted them, they are expecting things to come easier to them maybe and settling rather than keeping their foot on the gas?

We aren't exactly a hot spot for serious free agents so I think we have to lock down and make due with what we have. If it costs us with Sabonis in the long term then I'll be properly pissed because he's a monster. I agree with you about something being off. I posted as such. I'm thinking it's just a slow start and trying to slightly alter our approach (vaugue but that's kind of the vibe I get). Vic seems to be looking to bring people in a little too much which is fine early season. I'm ready to abandon that 3 seed shout. I think Mil has that locked down. We might end up the 5 and bounced by philly first round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might end up the 5 and bounced by philly first round Philly IMO is the weaker team out of Boston/Toronto/Bucks/Pacers/76ers(my predicted top 5 for the east). Losing Marco Belinelli and Ersan IIyasova really hurt them and the guy that backed out of a deal during this past offseason is rolling in Sacramento. I do agree that the Bucks are rolling and will be a tough out, the new coach seems to have really brought out another level of Giannis. I think the Pacers get the 4 seed and beat the 76ers in the 1st round and face Toronto in round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averaging 15.6 ppg, 6 rebounds, 59% FG% and 55% 3PT%. I believe he comes off of the bench for the Kings, as what he would have been doing in Philly. He verbally told Philly he was going to sign with them, but backed out and decided to sign with the Kings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
