The Pacers, Hornets, and Celtics are all the same in my opinion. Nothing but mediocre talent but they have great coaches. I think all three of those teams have rosters that would easily put them in the lottery if it weren't for having a great coach. I wouldn't be surprised if we won or lost this game. We need to start beating teams like these though.

Get ready for Stuckey to score 20+ because he will forever haunt our organization.
CJ Miles 5-18, 1-10 3 pointers last night, so naturally he will go off tonight against us.

This game will depend on the Pacers' offense and our defense. If they're scoring, we lose. If not, then we win.

Yeah, PG is definitely a great player but outside of him they have average talent at best. Ellis is ok and Hill is a serviceable PG but they aren't anything special.

We've beaten Cleveland, Atlanta, Chicago, and Miami. Those games count! We have been beating teams like the Pacers and Charlotte. It's been give and take throughout the East on every team. We've yet to play Toronto and Boston.

Yeah, luckily we were able to get some wins against some of the better teams in the league to help offset losses against the Lakers, Kings, Nets, etc. It's very frustrating to think how much better we would be if we beat those kinds of teams.

Didn't realize this is the first of another 3 game homestand.

Too early. Plenty of games still left against bad teams to pad our record. After that poor start you speak of, we have won 5 straight over sub .500 teams (HOU, PHX, MIL, LAL, PHI), so we are trending in the right direction in that department.

KCP too small to guard PG?

zeebneeb · Post #15 » by **zeebneeb** » Sat Dec 12, 2015 11:33 pm

As always our starters can play with, and beat anyone. The world's worst bench? Even our starters can't overcome that disaster.

Until we get Jennings and Meeks back the worst bench in the league will lose us games and this could be one of them.

George Hill has the worst hair in the league.

zeebneeb · Post #18 » by **zeebneeb** » Sun Dec 13, 2015 12:04 am

Quick factoid: last year after 24 games?

5-19.

Now imagine our current record had Jennings and Meeks been healthy all year. By my count the bench has straight cost us 7 games this year.

In the NBA though having a legit superstar is such a large difference, that it seperates teams into tiers singlehandedly, and separates Indy from some other teams with itherwise comparable talent.

This is absolutely true. The NBA is special in the fact that just one player can make a team so much better.

Take last year's pelicans for example. Take Davis off that team and instead of 45 wins and playoffs they are getting a better pick then the Pistons last year.

Drummonds progression this year has raised this entire team up and with Jackson playing like an all star it's made our starting group's disgusting.

If Indiana added just a good pg they would be that much better.
