Just a horrible game. Thats 2 losses to the blazers and hornets with losses also to the wiz, raptors and grizzlies. Those 5 games are the difference between 3rd and 7th. Hope they get right after the break.

and yet 30 of 55 is on pace for 45 wins which is exactly what most of us were hoping for. you could say we're right on schedule - although we certainly hoped that the Siakam trade would give us a bigger bump than it has so far.

I would think all the teams are a bit tired right now. I think it is more that things are not working, for various reasons.

Raptors 71-65 at halftime. Pacers playing short handed with same old problems of not rebounding well enough 30-19 and not stopping the Raptors on transition. Raptors shooting 56% to the Pacers 46% from 2.

Siakam and Nesmith combined 4-17 shooting doesn’t help.

Fast break layups help the shooting percentage

Sheppard is better than Doug in every way except experience.

Miami and Orlando also won and against tough opponents.

Ugly game and the Pacers were lucky to pull out the win. Huge game for Sheppard with 10 points on a couple of crucial 3’s and defense earning him closing minutes tonight.

Jackson had a great game tonight on the stats at least I wasn't able to watch it. But 4 blocks, 15 points and 11 rebounds, if he can get over his foul prone problem he's gonna be a good NBA player.
