    Every fanbase ends up hating him after he plays against their team and I absolutely love it. They wouldn’t hate him if he sucked.

    I only had a the option of watching the Pacers broadcast tonight but they showed an interesting stat near the end of the game. Dame has 99 assists to Nurk this year which is second on the NBA this season for assists from one player to another. It's also probably a sign that we should run more pick n roll.

    The problem is teams have adjusted to it. They just collapse that play because they don’t respect guys like Turner, etc. Nurkic has gotten better at passing out of it but that still doesn’t create a great look because of our inconsistent shooting. If we had a legit threat standing in the corner it’d open that play back up.

    It is painfully obvious how much better this team is when Evan is on the bench. Don't think I'll ever forgive Neil for that signing.

    Also, was nice to see us make Nate change his lineup when we went to our 3 guard set. They had to counter with Joseph-Collison-Oladipo, and had no shot.

    We had that 40% 3pt shooter in the corner last year in AC. Hmm, thought people didn't miss him?

    The team played well. Nurk handles 17 rebounds, so the Bosnian beast has re appeared. The third time this season we went 100% on the FT line. Great accomplishment!. I like the results of 24 points off 14 offensive rebounds. Shabazz should be a keeper. I like his solid consistent work! I wish ET would leave from career boredom. 7a86f7fb166cfe1a59e3d44689f72c5a.jpg < Dame did great. He is an all star without an all star game to show it to the rest of the country.

    We should bring Ray Allen out of retirement.

    I'm in the thread WAY late. I had to record the game. Couldn't watch it real time. A few things:

    Is Dame fully healed? That hang in the air tip dunk was lovely... :ghoti:

    Is TJ Leaf pregnant now?? I think he needs to take a test cuz DAYUMMM..... I think he and Zach made some soft porn when he got HUMPED on that tip dunk!!! :blink:

    Was I the only one who LOVED that attitude after the block on Oladipo? :smiley-hvala:

    That double tech was bogus. Should've just been a tech on VO.

    Sabonis looked horrible...

    We need to run pick and rolls way more. They went away from it and that's where Jusuf was having success.

    The 5 dribble hand offs into a bad shot is starting to get irritating.

    Great home win.

    Yeah I noticed this too. Also at the end of last nights game him and Vonleh were totally uninterested in anything aside from getting back to the locker room. I think they're gone and they know it.
