he couldn't roll the dice for 5 minutes to start a series

Are you sure it was Mark and not orders from Presti?

you should stop thinking about Presti for a second.

this, gentlemen, is why i stand for keeping kenrich he's the only role player in this roster with an skillset that is not redundant to another role player in the roster

Chet was everywhere. Hope he can keep up second half

Indiana is by far the team that play the best defense against Shai and it allows some open space for JDub/Chet and others so their performances are even more important than what they used to be.

so many stupid fouls early in the quarter is a killer

Still feels too close for comfort

kenrich williams is +14 in 7 minutes and it's a current theme for years.

mark d is a clown of a coach

I don’t think Kenrich is a heavy minutes guy , but he’s an option this series if both Joe and wiggins aren’t contributing

jdub is just a low iq offensive player

yeah and we badly need his offense in Indy because I doubt our bench players will step up as much on the road.

Shai having an A+ game...elite on both ends of the floor

I think he can and will improve , but Chet needs to grow into the second option.

Is it paranoia to still be worried up 10 plus in under a minute ? Or was I just being foolish .

Chet won't be the second option this season and even less in this match up. I think Chet played well enough tonight and it's a very difficult match up for him. JDub needs to play smarter, slow the pace and find good mid range shots like he did against Minny.

It's a great win but with Shai performance and Wiggins/Caruso doing so much on offense, I'm concerned about the road games. Such a stupid *** losing game 1.

Oh this season we just have to see how this plays out. But more for next season we need to consider that there’s still gaps in the roster.

SGA was awesome...probably his best overall game in those POs. Gonna need a couple more.

Need a few others to step up. Wiggins , Kenrich , Caruso did well as well.

Chet did ok but maybe need more from him when we are away. Jdub need a lot more .

Rest of role players need to be more consistent .
