NBA can be hard to watch but the Pacers are so fun to watch and play team basketball better than anyone in the league (which is an anomaly in the NBA anymore). Love this team!

The Warriors are literally the ultimate team. Nobody even comes close to them when it comes to team ball

[Demo]

Watching Den-OKC. Currently 4 UK players on the floor at once: Murray, Lyles, Diallo and Patterson. Yeah, there is more to winning NC’s than just talent. But, really, how can Cal have just 1?

"Adams you fouled him shut up"

 

Fan then continues to shout at Steven Adams from the stands. Great thing that this isn't a back alley. Adams is a literal mountain of a man. 

 

NBA games really do catch some of the better audio of fans, and some of the worst.

Cody and Vonleh went head to head and the Knicks prevailed in OT 126-124.  But both guys turned in impressive performances each recording a double double.  CWat with a good G-League game as well.

Troy back in G-League with the Stockton KIngs, the Sacramento Kings G-League affiliate.  He signed a 2-way contract with the Kings for this season and only has 8 days remaining with the Sacramento Kings on that contract.  Barring an injury, he likely won't see much more NBA action this season.

Rough shooting night for OG but he wasn't the only one.  As a team the Raptors were only 40% from the floor and 7-35 on 3's.  Looks like Troy will be burning up the highway between Sacramento and Stockton as TB last year with the Lakers bouncing from NBA game to G-League game.

Another solid performance for Yogi since the Kings made a commitment to play him more minutes.

Well Vic just lost us a game. Just terrible all around. 4/15 and missed 3 out 4 FTs that could've sealed the game

[TheWatShot]

VO needs to stay at BLF until midnight shooting free throws. That was pathetic.

[HoosierRobbie]

Possibly the worst loss for the pacers in 2 years, Cleveland is awful.

As Charlie indicated 3 posts above, Vic's reputation for delivering in the clutch took a hit last night.  Up by 1 with 9 seconds left and he missed both free throws and then the Pacers didn't box out on the other end and allowed Larry Nance Jr. to get a rebound tip-in.  I only saw the last minute but have seen others describe the Pacers as having sleepwalked through the game.

Nance, jr. got away with a nice shove on Vic to get to that offensive rebound and tip in. They’re not going to call that in that situation though.

Playing with Thristian Thompson will do that. Dude gets away with more fouls on rebounds than anyone else in the league. His one true talent is that he doesn't foul out in 5 minutes of game action every time out

[TheWatShot]

Oladipo has been pretty anti-clutch the last two games.

Today's Star - 

The league office released its Last Two Minutes report on the 92-91 loss at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Tuesday and concluded that Larry Nance’s tip-in at the final buzzer should not have counted because of an incorrect no-call.

“It’s over. It doesn’t change anything," coach Nate McMillan said before his team played Toronto for the first time at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday. "We had an opportunity to win that game. We didn’t do the things we needed to do. That doesn’t help us.”

Nance wrapped his arms around Victor Oladipo, who had him boxed out, and threw him to the floor to convert a missed jumper by Rodney Hood with 1.1 seconds on the clock for the game's final points.

OG got lucky he didn't get a foul called on boggie's 3PA at the buzzer. The Raptors bench looked stunned too. I'm sure the leagues apology will help though...

Vic whines and complains leading to him getting an 8 second call when no one was defending him. Most Pacers fans say nothing about it. PG would have been torn to shreds by the same people. Turner gets torn to shreds on a regular basis by the same people. This fan base

Vic has been awful the past couple games.
