Game Thread 10/20: Pacers vs. Blazers

Post #61 » by **boomershadow** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 12:31 am

The absolutely frenetic pace we've been playing at this season so far might be taking a toll on the players. They seem tired.

Domas making only 1 of 4 free throws. Not great. Although getting hacked across the whole body and face probably has something to do with it.

He tries to imitate Russell, unfortunately it just doesn't work for him.

We don't really have a lot of offensive talent, especially with Turner out. It's going to be a lot of Dipo or Lance trying to create something. Yes, it's going to be ugly.

Sabonis pass™

Rims aren't being real kind this quarter.

Damn, both Lillard and Collison went down and Dipo decided to help Lillard get up instead of Darren.

At least we're not getting blown out? Pacers need to get stops if they want to turn this around.

edit: spoke too soon :lol:

Oladipo's fun to watch. He's such an elite athlete, and plays so confidently. You can see why he's been compared to Dwyane Wade. He's 4-8 from the floor since starting the game 1-8.

I've watched Oladipo since he was a freshman at IU, as I was there at the same time. While he is lightyears ahead of where he was from a skill standpoint, he's nowhere near I'd thought he'd be at this point.

Man...I disagree.

He's taken about 5 bad shots too many for me.

I think that's a fair comparison, but DWade played with more control at this point.

T.J. Leaf 4-4. He's taken over for Sabonis tonight.

Leaf is really showing something on offense. I hope this really lifts up his confidence.

Corey Joseph's been disappointing through the first two games.

Collison is definitely the better of the two. I'm curious to see Ike Anigbogu. I'd like for him to play over Jefferson just to give him some experience.

I've gotta say, with jersey #44, Bogdanovic really looks like Austin Croshere from a distance. I can't be the only once who's noticed this.

I thought he was fine in the first game. Got that key defensive stop at the end too.

Our entire team outside of Leaf just decided to not show up tonight.
