That Bogdanovic sloppy pass almost made you think he should have been wearing cream and crimson.

 

From Pacers Report:  Just how good has Victor Oladipo been this season?  Here are the All-Time Players in Pacers franchise history with 4 games in a single season consisting of 35+ points, 1 steal, and 1 block - Danny Granger and Victor Oladipo.

Man, it's amazing how much Oladipo is better without Westbrook.

He's definitely in better shape and has improved his game on his own, but this season is proving how tough it is to play with WB.

I think he learned a lot from Westbrook though.  Plunked out the money last season to get League Pass so I saw every game and many of his moves and getting to the basket and finishing a very Westbrook like.Getting in shape and getting his quickness back are the biggest key, you are right!    Didn't want to spend the money this year, but missing seeing all his games.

I decided to go with Hulu this year to get BTN. As a side benefit, most Pacers games are on there as well. It's kind of cool, because you can set your favorite teams and it automatically records the games if they are available. I've seen more Pacers games already this year than I ever have in the past.

I hope nobody pinches these Pacers and they wake up.  Another game they roared back from a double digit deficit and knocked off the Nets in OT 123-119.  Vic with another monster game with 38 pts., 4 reb, 6 assts, a steal, a block and no turnovers.

Honestly most impressed with the zero turnovers. As much as the ball is in his hands that's just insane. Add to that it was during a big second half comeback. Man.

Getting ready to catch the fsn replay. Haven't cared enough to do that for a few years.

I think he's playing like a top ten player at this point he's proven to be fairly consistent

Consistency, especially shooting consistency has always been his biggest issue. Really impressed by what he is doing this year. Absolutely loving it.

The thing about Vic is his understanding. The understanding of what it means to the fans. The understanding of what a good teammate does. The understanding of being a good person. The understanding that you're not going to get better by just talking. I could see Vic go to another level beyond this where he is THE cornerstone of a franchise. The guy wants to be great and will work hard to get there. I'm proud to call him a fellow Hoosier.

Yeah, my brother and I were talking about Vic the other day. He is a high quality dude. He deserves everything he gets.

That team had several guys like that with Hulls, Zeller, VO, and Watford. That was a great group of guys.
