Game 51: Indiana Pacers (31-19) @ Toronto Raptors (36-14) - 7:30 PM ET

[Pacersike]

In all fairness, we ran over Dipo at the end.

Yeah, but also Sabonis just couldn’t guard either Siakam or Ibaka and we just couldn’t hide him on the court defensively at all tonight.

When the Raptors pushed harder in the final 6 minutes, Sabonis got exposed defensively yes. He has his flaws and it indicates something for the upcoming playoffs, I'm not going to deny that, but

again, that is what I mean with extremities. If he was as bad defensively as you say, Nate would think very low of Turner, because our coach was hiding Myles for a very long time on the bench.

Either way, I don't feel comfy switching Turner for Sabonis and reverse late in games. Both should finish or someone has to be traded and it ain't my fault Sabonis is just so damn good offensively, so Turner is on the block. It explains the emotions of this loss.

We all want Turner and Sabonis to finish games together, but it remains a balancing act.

Well, that was a bad finish... I hope Vic will soon find his game

Is that becuase of his mediocre wingspan?

Gotta say though, you guys are a crisp team. Feels like you're really well coached.

Think it was just a bad night for him. He’s no Myles or Embiid or Gobert or whatnot, but he’s usually fine to good in our defensive system.

wish we'd just put 5 ball handlers who can shoot free throws in at the end. our first unit will struggle until Victor figures out that we have improved to the point that no one needs to play hero ball.

We got sloppy at the end of this game. Way too many turnovers.
