Game Thread 12/06: Pacers vs Bulls

And Joseph. He is one of those better than his stats players IMO and often hitting shots when it is needed a bit more than else in the game. Hope we can re-sign him!

Bogdanovic should have gotten the steal for stripping the ball

It was inspiring to me

They fought back and Oladipo was clutch again

Amen, brother. The fourth quarter reminded me of a game against the rockets in 08 or so when we were rallying so hard (we lost that game), but still, this was one of the most frenzied and fun endings I've experienced in some time.

And could we ask for a better home-crowd guy than Vic? Maybe Lance, but Dipo has been unreal. His heart for this team is unmatched since Granger. Maybe Reggie. Sorry, guys.

Sorry for what?

Not sorry to you, as I feel we may be on the same page here, haha.

But I feel some may think I'm overreacting or having short-term memory by labeling Dipo with having the most heart since Granger or Reggie. But man, if I see it I know other fans do too.

Lance had been my number one all year (love it or hate it haha), but its hard not to side with Vic. He has to be number one now. Freaking love this guy.

"I'm home, baby. " Say no more. Glad to have him home.

I'm here on behalf of the Thunder to claim ownership for that gamewinner by Dipo. That might be the most Westbrook-esque shot I've ever seen.

That was one ugly game. Thought it was the 1st time all season that we didn't come out and play really hard. I realize those games will come along every so often, but this group has spoiled us with their effort and hard play. Man what a hell of a comeback though. Dudes diving on the floor etc. That is what this team is built on and I hope they continue to remember that. This team is good because they hard and together. Victor Oladipo.... big marbles on that shot.

It's entirely possible some Westbrook fire and tenacity rubbed off on Vic while he was there. He does look like a much different player than he has in the past..I don't know about ownership though. He's ours now, and we love him.

For the first time in a long time I didn't feel like we were out of the game at any point. The past few years, I would have felt the game was done after the first quarter.

Dipo's relentless motor makes such a difference. It's at Lance level (though in different ways), but he's much better than Lance and much more under control.

Well said, I totally agree. Gotta love each guy's tenacity. Love this team, like the lovable losers of the 07-10 teams... Except we're winning
