So you honestly think that Olidipo just some how “got better” once he left? Or maybe he got his ass in shape and is the primary offensive weapon on his new team? I’m sure that has nothing to do with it.

It’s not “some how”. It’s related the that elusive ball movement we are always talking about and not playing beside a guy like Westbrook. Same with Sabonis. It’s not magic, we just used him wrong.

Just to be clear, you have watched the Pacers this year closely and know for a certainty that your claim is accurate?
And BTW, Dipo has credited his time playing with Russ as a reason why he has improved as a player.

My claim that Oladipo and Sabonis are better this year? Yes.

Why would you have Melo on Wiggins on that play when everyone in the building knew he was going to shoot it

Apparently, everyone one here knew they would.
And a win will do nothing to change anyone’s mind about this team im sure.

Not sure why but this felt a little hollow. They're a good team but that didn't seem like a good win at all.

Yes. Game flow is a real thing. When we move the ball and players move, we hit more shots. When everyone stands around and watches one guy dribble, they get cold and miss shots. Also Sabonis isn’t jacking up as many threes this year. I’m sure Oladipo getting abs helped, but we misused him.

Did we actually win a game against a team with a winning record? Now we're beating good teams and losing to the bad teams.

I like the build of these OKC cheerleaders. Not twigs.

Again, have you even watched that team or are you just looking at the box score? Jesus, how hard is it to answer the question?

Being the sole voice of optimism, I will respectfully disagree with you here. They got the lead, bent, but did not break. They finally pushed through when faced with adversity, they can build off of this.
