Seriously though Vic has had me scratching my head for quite some time now. I don't know if I have ever seen an IU legend go from "hero" to "zero" quite so fast. It sucks for him. In fairness to him, or his bumbling advisors, he didn't anticipate another serious leg injury that would sideline him for such extended time. His stock would still be great if he didn't go through more injuries, and in that regard he's kind of snake bitten. Rico 1 Quote

Big get for the already 1st place Heat. Gonna need him to find a good groove and get his game legs back in these few weeks. If he can give them 8-10 points and some defense, Miami could win the East.... Depending on matchups. Quote
HoosierHoopster Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Yeah Vic looked good, ended up with 11 and 4 assists and reportedly the team named him player of the game. Great to see him back after almost a full year out Quote
Stuhoo Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Vic getting some extended run in the Heat’s playoff game tonight. He’s not shooting it well but otherwise he’s stuffing the stat sheet. Heat are up big and he’s taken Duncan Robinson’s minutes. Definitely got some burst in his legs tonight. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
Stuhoo Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Oh. My. Goodness. Jimmy Butler hurt so Vic gets the playoff start. 4:35 into the first quarter? Victor with 8 on 4-4. Oh. My. HoosierX, BtownStrength and Loaded Chicken Sandwich 3 Quote
dwtaylor1055 Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Love Victor but before too long he'll he chanting "Miami is his city" just like he did in Indy lol GLad to see him getting some run again. Quote
Popular Post Stuhoo Posted May 22, 2022 Popular Post Posted May 22, 2022 Vic with a four steal second half—he was so so good tonight. Heat with a gut check win without Butler after halftime. I really don’t give a rat’s behind about whatever Pacers fans think. His second home has always been Bloomington and IU, not Indy. One of the great Hoosiers is making a move for a ring with a great comeback from so many physical challenges. Leo, LIHoosier, WayneFleekHoosier and 6 others 9 Quote

Don't know exactly what went wrong here in Indy, but the local media (Greg Doyel) rip him on a constant basis. I don't follow the NBA that closely so I just think of him from his IU days. Quote

Stuhoo Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Holy **** Vic. heat off to a terrible start, go the first half of the first quarter without a field goal in game four of the conference finals. Vic comes in with them down 20, has an 11 point quarter and has 11 of their 16 points. Quote

Lol I know everyone likes to poke fun at CTC for his repeated references to deflections, but hey, he was right. Deflections are part of good D, and Vic has it in spades. The fun pointing kind of misses the point, no? Quote

The dichotomy was Crean would rave about deflections in part because it’s an indicator of active, energetic, engaged defense. The dichotomy part, was some of those same teams would play complete matador defense on the perimeter and let guys make wide open layups without any contest at the rim. Stay in front of your man first, get deflections second please, Tom Crean. Edited May 25, 2022 by WayneFleekHoosier LIHoosier and thebigweave 2 Quote

Crean was not a good defensive coach, lol, just wasn’t— but i think you’re reading in a bit here, his enthusiasm over deflections was always mocked, but active D and deflections go together and on that he wasn’t wrong Quote
