#7 has had a very very good first half.

Come out hard in Q3.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

I'm starting to wonder how long until we need to worry about his 3 point shot. I think he had like one game where he shot well from deep or maybe it just feels that way to me.

Unfortunate for Pacers. They get Nembhard back, healthy first time in a long while, now Hali is out.

Jrue has been meh on offense the whole year. Dont really care now but I'm expecting him to better in the playoffs if needed.

Maybe a torn achilles then..

He was holding his hamstring.


torn hamstring or groin is my guess based on his reaction. didn't look like a day or two or even a couple weeks.

Maybe the Pacers should stop letting people jump on pogo sticks on the court if they don't want any more slips.

He needs to be a foot closer. Not sure why he's that far out all the time.

I'm watching this stuff. One of the Extreme Pogostickers (Pogoist?) is named "Nick Pitino" :lol:

If only brissett has decent shooting, he can be serviceable. Dude’s shot is ugly. He can’t get consistent playing time if he can’t even hit free throws.
