Wasn't a great shooting night for Vic but he finished with a double double and his 3-pointer with 3.4 seconds left gave the Pacers a 102-101 win over the Celtics.

My bad.  I missed CWat playing for the Raptors 905 team in G-League.  Last night he had 9 points in 25 min. on 2-7 FGs (all 3's) and 3-4 FTs; 5 reb; 2 asst.

No, I often forget all about him until I see his name. He was only here one year and it didn't even seem like that long.

I think if we would have had a successful season here then people wouldn’t

That's a fair argument. That squad was such a massive disappointment I've tried to just wipe it from my memory. Yogi, Sheehey, Vonleh, Troy, no way that team should have missed the tournament.

OG back in the starting lineup with Leonard day-to-day with a leg injury.

OG just seems to be a Luc Mbah a Moute. Not a bad gig. Not sure he’ll ever average 10 ppl.

He's definitely no MSB who can take 5 thugs at once.

We had a coach that couldn’t adjust to a roster. A team that should have been built around defense and played at a much slower pace. Not many 3 point shooters either yet Crean continued trying to coach them as if they were the Warriors.

That plus it seemed like Will was never really engaged and just wanted to be gone. All his boys were gone and it didn't seem like he meshed with anyone on that team. That team had a lot of young and immature players.

Big scoring night for OG with Kawhi day-to-day with a leg injury.

A lot of players don't like him either

Pacers have to figure something out. All their free agents have been playing like crap all season. Starting 7’0 center can’t even grab 4 rebounds a game. Vic and Sabonis are the only bright spots

Pacers scouting has been trash for years. And no thought is ever put into fit. 

[IUfan_Charlie]

Tyreke Evans might actually be my least favorite Pacer ever. I can't stand watching him play. Just awful

That and he's just selfish. 

[IUfan_Charlie]

Vic was great through 3 but jeez was that 4th quarter rough. I think he's been taking a few too many 3s. Pacers are so frustrating right now

[Crimson and Cream]

Crappy game to go to. I'm getting sick of a lot of things with this team. Nate in a big way is really messing a lot up and I'm wondering if Vic didn't cover a lot of his inabilities up last year. Turner is just awful and it's so disappointing to me we signed him to that extension. Evans, as already mentioned above, is a terrible defender and shot hunter and doesn't seem real concerned about winning anything. This year's team looked a lot better on paper but I enjoyed last years team so much more.
