Game Thread 11/25: Pacers vs Celtics

[basketballwacko2]

I missed this one my Niece and her husband and son went to the game, too bad they didn't get to see a win. But missing Vic is a bit of a problem even if Lance did play pretty well. He had a nice stat line and played 36 minutes.

Painful loss. First half - nothing but roses. Pacers simply played much better. Third quarter though... Guys thought that they have this game already, became timid, bad shot selections, bad TOs, couldn't guard Horford. It's like kids, who thought that snake was dead until it bit them back. Lesson to learn - good teams are good for the reason. 24 minutes are not enough. 48 minutes are needed to play with their heads in the right places.

interesting that post game Turner expressed confidence in "my group" taking ownership in the team.

I think couple other guys on this team will say my group too.

Soon they will just say "our group" - I love such teams.

An important, unquantifiable difference between this season and last season is that in losses last season, the players hung their heads, and in this season, the players are getting pissed. Myles and Domas were both visibly mad at the result in a way that shows competitive fire and the edge that teams need that no one had last year.

For Domas it's in his genes. Youngster, 15 years old and playing for U16 team he was mad after the loss. Playing for Gonzaga he was mad after the loss. Now he his a pro. Big, tough dude, who gets mad after the bad play, mistakes he makes, team losses. Hmmm, reminds me of someone from many years ago
