Why is Sabonis the only player in the NBA who can get punched in the face, kicked in the nuts, poked in the eye, and thrown to the ground and not get a foul?

A little bit more than 8 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter now, why isn't Aaron on the floor

Herculean effort by the pacers to get that win playing 5 on 8 I'm impressed.

He gets a whistle...but the fouls on him.

I’m starting to think that Darren Collison and the Pacers FO May be right. Aaron Holiday May be a future all-star.

His role for this season should continue off the bench or start when there’s an injury. If he continues to improve, we may have to figure out how to get him into the starting lineup. But that’s at least a year away.

TJ Warren has played much better on defense than I expected. I am also seeing Sabonis starting to block some shots.

One of the things that I am really enjoying is Myles Turner. He seems to be figuring out his role when Sabonis is on the floor with him.

I think Holiday/Oladipo/Brogdon could work, but we could also give Holiday the backup minutes at both the 1 and 2 if he needs more playing time.

I agree but Warren is playing well. It would be tough to take him out of the starting lineup.

For this season, we should continue to use Holiday off the bench. Then see how things play out next season.

I agree. I was thinking more about like the future. Next season or two.

I've watched just about every game this season on LP and this one was probably my favorite game of the year. And theres been many great ones so far. This has been a really fun season so far. From the Pacers completely outplaying them for most of the game, to them slowly coming back and then having control of the game it seemed like, and Aaron Holiday just ballin' out at the end. This was awesome. I'm very envious of you for being there!
