The goga vs Wendell debate may start heating up soon. They just provide different advantages out there but I think they would make a solid 1,2 punch but in a reverse order. Goga starting Wendell as the back up

Little too close for comfort but a dub is a dub

Hes the starter. WCJ has not earned a thing and is benched from now on. Goga cements this teams identity.

Great win! Jalen Suggs would be terrific off the bench for this team! :nod:

Anthony Black and Jonathan Isaac both played terrific basketball in the 2nd half!

Goga is a MIP candidate.

I know this will be an unpopular take, but Franz can be selfish at times at not know his limitations. He can't really shoot off the dribble, but he constantly throws up bs at the rim from the mid range. Also, he had Goga for several lobs at KCP in the corner all night but refuses to pass it to them.

It's like the only people he consistently passes to that Paolo is out is his brother (first, second, and third option) and then Suggs and sometimes AB. That's it.

I would also refuse to pass it to KCP in the corner that's just smart basketball bc he can't stop bricking.

There's a good reason for that to be unpopular.

The thing is Pacers defense not that good... We're under 100 because we can't hit open shots.... They're under 100 because we locked their azz up

Minus when mathurin had his out of body experience.... Our lineups defense was getting intimidating AF! Loved what they could do. AB deserved to press that button.

Nearly held one of the leagues best offenses under 90 would have been crazy!

Love this team and once they iron out some of these kink.... This team will be that much better than we thought at the beginning of the season.

Thats kinda like you are descrining a MAX scoring forward. He isnt Luka or LBJ that gets others involved. He is like that Kobe Tmac where you want them to get theirs.

The MAX forward you want or talking about is currently.in out bench rehabbing an injury
