Andrew Nembhard looked like Gary Payton Sr. Tuesday night on Dame, Jeff Dowtin Jr looked like Michael Jordan for stretches against Andrew Nembhard last night. Something gotta give there. If we’re not out for blood tonight then just call it a season and look towards the future. Indiana is good so running them off the floor is a tall task but if there ever was a game for it, it’s tonight. If I ever have to see Steve Urkel do the Dame Time celly again I’m really gonna lose my ****. I’m ready to run through a brick wall, I pray to the basketball Gods I’m not more fired up than the team is for this. LETS. ****. GO.

Give kpj a chance to play extra minutes at almost the start of the game. That may make a difference. Putting in the same combo of players early would lead indy to better implement their own planned tactics of offense and defense.

Doc has stopped sitting both Dame and Giannis at the beginning of the 2nd and 4th quarters. It will be interesting if that continues.

I think Brook having a great offensive game like last time is important because otherwise it’s a bad matchup and might be a negative player for the game.

The season's still looking uncertain
A long way to that final curtain
I'm not analytical
But this game is critical
Please dope-slap Tyrese Haliburton

Kind of sad that a Wisconsin guy like Hali is such a horse's ass, but there it is. 130-104 please.

Doc is putting pressure on kpj to reduce turnovers. Don’t think it is a good idea to put pressure for 2 turnovers a game right now. Kpj needs to be not put under mental pressure but encouraged and reminded to be careful with the ball. Dame slowly walks up the court, so naturally he has few turnovers. Kpj s game is like Tyreke Maxey. Lightning speed and ability to create for himself and others and clutch shooter too. I am worried about Doc s attitude towards kpj; he doesn’t seem to have the guts to criticize others like Kuzma who is presently doing noticeably worse than kpj.

Also this team in general has been prone to stupid turnovers for years so if he’s like that with KPJ Doc should apply similar standards to Giannis, Kuz, etc.

one game where dame goes absolutely nuclear would be nice

Even if we win this one I don't see any scenario where we hold onto the 4 seed. Pacers schedule is very soft and ours is very hard. Were likely playing them as the 5 seed.

We might catch the Lakers without LeBron again, who knows, that could be a difference maker.

This game needs to be Sims biggest minutes as a Buck. We can't let Turner continue to murder Brook, it's rude.

Team high +16 for Brook on Tuesday while Sims had a team low -17. I only agree if that reverses.

We've seen Brook destroyed again and again against the Pacers. Last game was an outlier, and we still lost

I guess at this point, we're all hoping that Doc has some strategy where he's bringing KPJ along slowly, doing the right things so he's 'ready' to be starting SG by playoff time

The trick for playing the Pacers is to let Halliburton chuck up a bunch of garbage (hypothetically)

Hey FanDuel, we don't need to see Pacer highlights.

engelmartin · Post #38 » by **engelmartin** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 12:10 am

Hey fanduel, limit the Pacer’s highlights

The shot quality between the two teams is night and day

Brook just can't keep up. He can't get out to the three point line quick enough.
