And Yogi humiliated CP3 too, picked his pocket real good

[Hoosierfan2017 23,253]

I wish that I liked Troy. He's an exciting player to watch.

Pretty steady game for Yogi with 14 pts. plus 6 assists.

Gordon with another one of those godawful shooting nights.

Troy got the rookie treatement from the officials; picked up 4 fouls in 15 min.

First round of D-League playoffs are best of 3 series.

Whoever replaced Sage Steele with Michelle Beadle needs fired. She has the personality of a rock.

Not the biggest Beadle fan but I didn't think Sage Steele was good in that role at all.

Although the Mavs lost, Yogi had a very good shooting night.

Troy got another start with the Rockets and just missed a double-double with 12 pts. and 9 reb.

Vic with a woeful shooting night but the Thunder pulled out a W on a desperation heave by Westbrook at the buzzer.  Westbrook also broke the single season triple-double record with his 42nd of the season with 50 pts., 16 reb. and 10 assists.

I'm really happy that I get every Pacers game on TV through FS Indiana, but good lord Quinn Buckner is unbearable.

I love Quinn, I think he's a lot better than most team announcers. 

[Hovadipo 59,422]

I love Quinn, I think he's a lot better than most team announcers. 

I don't hear many other home announcers, so if he really is then I can't imagine listening to other broadcasts. What drives me crazy is something will happen, like when PG and Henderson got into it the first time tonight. He just starts yelling and reacting like a fan, then a minute later has to take everything back because it turns out PG nudged or kicked Henderson with his foot. Or he'll just yell "THAT'S A FOUL!" then realize after a replay that it wasn't and back track. It drives me nuts.

He is good when he actually does the color commentary though. He obviously knows basketball.

Apparently Quinn and Chris are considered two of the better local announcers for teams. Talking to fans of other teams they like listening to the two, whereas their comments on other teams' commentators they can't stand. I don't really know personally, my experience is the Celtics guys, who are just horrendous and just fan boys. And Stacey King who is somehow worse than the Celtics announcers. 

 

I'm there with you on Quinn, but I mean I guess you have to expect some fan to come out from local announcers. Guess I;m glad other fans seem to like our guys.

I mean he is a big fan but I feel like he stays very unbiased most of the time. Even tonight he admitted that he hadn't seen the PG elbow on the way down and that both players should be given flagrants after the fact. Watching on tv there's a lot of things you can't see and I appreciate when Quinn points them out. He also does a fantastic job breaking down what's happening.

Gordon back as a starter; Troy off the bench but a solid night for him.

Vonleh another double-double.

The Thunder rested Westbrook for the entire game so it put more of a load on Vic.  He led the team in scoring but oh, those 8 TO's.  He clearly had the ball more in his hands last night than in most of their games.

Will George finally beat Lebron? I could see it happening

[Hoosierfan2017 23,253]

I had to buy tickets for game 3. Can't pass up watching Lebron in the playoffs for a decent price.
