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.

Man Vic was having a hell of a game when I was watching. I’m assuming his efficiency started to drop cause he was one of two players that actually showed up for the game?

OG with a solid night off the bench and the Raptors keep rollling.  Good stat line for Vic although the Pacers lost.  Vonleh has become a double digit rebounding machine for the Knicks.

I really think that's where Vonleh will stick in the NBA. A screening, defending, rebounding machine.

Agree with what you guys are saying about the Pacers.  Like they've gotten complacent now that Vic has emerged as a star.  Every trip down feels like Vic doing some hesitation move to the basket, then a pass or attempt at a rebound.  It's not a clever offense.  It's not like there's not toooons of examples on how to get shots.  Even worse, now that the fans are coming back, what is this team going to do with it?  

[ap2345 7,920]

I think the Pacers have a few issues. 1 is that this team doesn’t have another star to help out Vic late in games. 2 is that this team lacks a lengthy 3 and D guy that is a legitimate defender. 3 is that they don’t have or utilize their shooters properly other than Bogy. 4 is that Myles Turner is the worst rebounding big in the league. 5 Nate isn’t very smart with his rotations and allows players to do what they want to much like letting Myles and Thad chuck 3’s and letting Evans do whatever he wants. If they don’t get these things fixed this could be a very underwhelming season. I also think they need to find TJ Leaf some minutes to see if he can find the rhythm he had in the preseason because he is the only big the Pacers have that can shoot and he also out rebounded Turner in the preseason. Yes I know it was the preseason but it’s still worth a larger look IMO.

Vic with a double double -- points and assists.  Yogi only saw 9 minutes but he made the most of it with 8 pts; 2 reb and a steal.

Jimmer Fredette playing pro ball in China.  In a recent game he scored 75 pts. on 24-34 FG's and 7-10 on 3's.   His team lost 137-136.  lol

Any guesses as to where Melo will go next? Back to Denver? Lakers?

He needs to retire. I doubt anyone brings him in. Lakers are loaded at the wings. He's a cancer to anyone at this point.

Hmmm... so a team tanking should take him?

He needs to go over to China. He can shoot all the shots he wants, play no defense, and be the LeBron James over there. That suits his ego and mentality perfectly.

Carmelo isn't even the best Melo anymore. That would be LaMelo Ball.

Melo was a great talent that could put up numbers but he's never been a winning player.  Put him on a team with Harden (a younger version of Melo) and it just won't work out.  There are many more around the league that are similar.

I feel so bad for Caris LeVert man. He was so good this year. Hope he can get back to the level he was playing at.
