Game Thread 03/14: Pacers vs. Thunder

[boomershadow]

I try to pay as little attention to the patches as possible.

TV keeps showing Matthews put back and his interview where he said he knew based on clock that there was no risk crashing boards because if OKC got ball they'd call time out. smart. but why didn't Turner know that? replay shows him standing outside just watching.

Turner has had a tendency to be a bit unaware recently. Things like getting hit by a pass he didn't see was coming when he should have, or not noticing a defender coming up from his side. Just various things. Not sure why that's happening but it can be frustrating.

Wes is 32 and been around the league a long time. Myles is 22 and not nearly as experienced. I'm not using it as an excuse for Myles but I think little things like that are picked up over time and experience.

I'm okay with a guard needing experience to know when he must forget defense and crash the boards. I'm less okay with a center not heading for the backboard when a shot is taken particularly when he can see his man in under the bucket and not leaking out.
