Well this game sucked. This is why the league needs to stop these back to backs. I don't care if they have to start the season 2 weeks earlier or what but these back to back games are too hard on the players.

I definitely agree about getting rid of those back to backs, though in this case I fear it might take little away from the suck thing.

I'm starting to miss a certain non aggresive player very much right now and other players who could defend :(

Luckily the NBA gave us a fairly easy november schedule to get better chemistry on the court.

The bench doesn't seem to be as good as I thought they'd be. All three games our 2nd quarters have been a problem.

Miles Turner looks great. He maybe isnt KAT, but he looks like a damn good piece to build a franchise around PG13. If you would do redraft he would go top 6 with Towns, Russell, Porzingis, Okafor and Booker.

And this game sucked as well. We have some serious structural issues.

From an outsiders perspective, Monta Ellis doesn't fit. He should maybe be traded (philly?) or moved to the bench as 6th man scorer.

Pacers need a 3 & D at that SG position.

This game was a scheduling disaster from the jump with us in the 2nd night of a road B2B and Chicago fresh. Had this one penciled in as an L. A split on this B2B would have been great, but Friday night was the game to get. This group is still trying to figure itself out. It takes time. When LeBron went to Miami with Bosh I believe they started 9-8. Lots of new pieces and a new voice at the top.
