Sabonis started the season so well that he seem to be underused now...

Whose minutes would you cut to give Damos more?

Ideally, Thad's. Problem is that Thad was really, really good today especially in that second half.

Thad was good, and Myles had 25/7/4.

Sabonis got taken out of the game due to the game flow. Nothing that he did specifically, and Nate's decision here was fine.

It was just like Turner warming the bench in the 4th quarter of last game while Sabonis played the whole quarter. The game just happened to fall that way.

Welcome to the party, Myles :D

To think we have won half of our games with Turner struggling to find rhythm.

Props to Kevin P and good luck with those late teen picks :lol:

That was as close to a perfect game as we're likely to see (outside of flukes like the Mike Dunleavy perfect game, I mean). Good job Pacers :clap:

Want to give some ups to Bojan too. I've probably traded Bojan a zillion times already on the trade board, but with the way he's playing I'd much rather keep him. DC and Bojan as FA signings on team friendly contracts have both been pretty amazing.

Yep. Today was a night where you wanted to give 30 minutes to each one of your rotational bigs.

I'm one of the biggest Sabonis fans here but I get why that happened. Myles was having a heck of a first half and Thad Young was having a heck of a second half. Couple that with the fact that we ended up blowing them out and had to empty our bench and it results in only 19 minutes for Domas.

He was still very good in his minutes tonight. He almost got a double-double. 8 points (4/7 shooting), 10 boards (3 of them offensive), 2 assists and 1 block. Some games you really wish you can give all of your bigs 30 minutes at least but it's just not possible :(


Agreed. Also, another reason may be that Domas had food poisoning on Friday. Sometimes that can stick with you a couple days and not be at 100%.

19 minutes isint that bad for Sabonis, he did well, team did well and above all we won, nothing to complain, Turner eating Whiteside with outside shots was a joy.

We may also be planning to lean on him for minutes tonight if Domas ends up looking more fresh and rested for tonight's game than the guys who played bigger minutes yesterday

He looked pretty 100% to me, to be honest. It's just that everyone was playing great.

Pretty sure he was only 57.1% - that's what he shot from the field :lol:
