Or really....isn't Pacers vs. Lance? That's what I'm really looking forward to from this one.

Re: Game Thread 11/29: Pacers vs. Lakers
going to be hard to keep this streak going without Vic.
I plan to watch a half on TV and to listen to the 2nd half in bed with the radio sleep timer set. No way I make it to the end.

Still awake, Pacers had the lead for a short while but LeBron decided to get involved. Headed to the fourth down 8

Listened to most of the game on the radio. Mark, and Eddie Gill doing color, kept calling Evans' play terrible and wondered why McMillan wasn't pulling him faster.

Evans looks like there is something wrong with him,seriously.That miss at the rim,and those dumb turnovers,it's hard to explain.

Looking at the box score and see we weren't able to score 100. On a night like this I'm wondering why McDermott (who has been killing it) only plays 18 minutes?
Generally, Evans hasn't been much of an upgrade over Lance. Will be interesting to see what happens to his minutes when Vic returns.

I'm willing to chalk it up to still trying to find his role on the team, but man has he been bad lately. His tunnel vision is the most infuriating, though a close second is the fadeaway long twos.

Re: Game Thread 11/29: Pacers vs. Lakers
When LeBron decides to take over, there's nobody on our team that can stop him. The starters had a pretty bad nite, put the team in a hole that they somehow dug themselves out of, which was pretty impressive. Sabonis is going to be one of the best big men in Pacers history, he'll be an All-Star soon. Doug looks so confident out there right now, but he needs more minutes and shots. Evans is bringing very little to the table right now. Once Oladipo is back, I hope his minutes are reduced and not Doug and Holiday.

For a guy who has played point guard, the lack of assists from Evans is baffling.

and his turnovers are frustrating. it's like he decides way too early whether he is shooting or passing and can't adjust to the defense.

This is 100% his primary issue. The guy is a tank and can theoretically do it all, but his IQ leaves something to be desired. I get the sense that he has to think before making a move/play (hence the baffling double dribble, blocking himself at the rim in the clutch, etc. just last night). He's just not as cerebral as others, which is fine, but has caused issues.
