Tough opponent today. I still think there's some hope. Dame has had a bad defensive reputation since getting to the Bucks, and they definitely haven't figured out how to maximize the Giannis/Lillard duo yet. I think they're a weaker team than their record indicates.

I agree that the loss of Jru Holiday and Middleton coming back from injury has made them less formidable than the team that thumped the Pacers at will.

I’m not sure the Pacers can beat them but I think they have a better chance.

My keys to victory are defensively lock down Brook Lopez and Middleton(if he plays) and hope Lillard misses his fair share of shots.

Also our second unit has to win when Bucks starters are resting. Their bench usually has given us trouble also.

Giannis will get his.

Great start 27-9 Pacers

NBA TV is several seconds behind Bally

66-60 at half. Giannis and Middleton carrying the Bucks. Bucks second unit keeping them close. Only defensive positive is Lopez being contained. Payne and Beasley 2-7.

Mathurin, Turner, and Haliburton keeping offense rolling. Pacers have to get scrappier and somehow get more loose balls.

Theis playing the 4.

So I bought myself a new 55 in tv yesterday and plugged it in and got it going last night. Picture looks nice... Then I turned on the Pacer game, I thought the color scheme was jacked up or something. Then I realize that's not it at all! What the hell are they wearing and who did that to the floor?

City uniform and City floor. Regular floor will be back

It's horrible! Both the uni and the floor!

This is worse than those Hickory uniforms from 2-3 years ago that had the red shirt and shiny gold pants that made them look like a 1970's British Glam Rock band.

Almost makes up for Charlotte. Nice win on NBA TV

If it doesn’t make up for Hornets game maybe for the Bulls game that they shouldn’t have lost either.

Way too early but 3rd place in the East behind 76ers and Celtics. A lot of teams to play in the East to see if Pacers are truly a playoff caliber team.

Goga starting in next game tonight.

Sixers Sunday. Standings are wild with 6 to 10 all 4-4. (Including loser of late game)

This is honestly so much better than that Bjorkgren-Sabonis-Brogdon team

Looking at the floor was like the old days of watching a black and white TV. The uniforms were OK except for that "baby blue" (or whatever it was) striping on the neck.

Brogdon is the reason I quit watching for most of a season. "Epic Day" my butt. Pritchard should be forced to put that on his tombstone.

Wild that his first minutes this season come when there are reports of another team interested in trading for Theis.


But mostly, with Jalen Smith out, it seemed like Theis was sent in for some fouls and tough physical type defense on a Giannis.

I never heard what the problem was for Jalen. Anyone have info?

Sore lower back that flared up shortly before tipoff. He was technically active, but not dressed.
