Yeah wouldn’t expect any new acquisitions to suit up tonight.

Warriors lead 70-58. Out played the Pacers moving the ball like keep away. Haliburton 3 turnovers no points, Nembhard 2 turnovers no points, Toppin no points, and Mathurin 2-7 a rough first half.

Warriors are gonna score but the Pacers have to do better defensively than this first half effort. Warriors out rebounded Pacers 22-13.

Even though Steff was on fire they didn’t out shoot the Pacers by a great percentage margin. Just out hustled the Pacers.

I should've watched the IU women on peacock. They had a comeback win over Michigan State.

Better start working on getting this year’s team straightened out. Look horrible.

I had to turn it off.
All that talent and so little grit.
We have three or four men and a bunch of soft bellied kids.
They take regular beatings much too calmly for my tastes.
I respect Rick, but this team might need a firebrand.
It needs something. Attitude. Pride. Aggression. Determination. Fight.
Right out of the gate. They too often look like a litter of frolicking puppies.

It bothers me how often Carlisle is calling a timeout in the first couple of minutes to get their attention.

At some point you have to know if you need a fluffer. :lol:
A good director should get the blood pumping before the camera starts rolling. :banghead:

I think Carlisle's "vision" for the future is blurred at best.

As to tonight's game? I turned it off after the first couple possessions where Turner (once again) blew two "bunnies". Maybe they should have traded Turner instead of Buddy, but barring that it is time to start Jalen Smith in Turner's place. I am finally so tired of that awkward ballerina I would just as soon he not play at all.

Siakam is reminding me of Sabonis in that he puts up some good stats, but I don't see him contributing to the team's ability to win. I'm starting to think getting him may have been a mistake.

I would not be totally shocked if, at some point, Haliburton decides he wants out.

I mean. Haliburton and Siakam have barely played together yet. That duo playing off each other is gonna be the driving force of the team the last part of this season and hopefully the next few years.

We wouldn't be looking any better if we had started Bruce Brown and TJ all while Ty was out.

Finally got to watch this game,... Yeah,. Curry got hot, then went nuclear. LOL But,.. we didn't have anyone face guarding him from half-court in?.... either case we didn't have anyone who could do it,.. or the rest of our defense couldn't adjust to playing with a defender dedicated to Curry. Off ball,.. we lost track of each other, let alone the warriors,.. ={

I was actually surprised at how much more physical the Warriors were? and how poorly we handled that physicality? How badly we got outrebounded. The Warriors had more possession in the game,.... AND played a more efficient game (partially do to our defense & lack of physicality).

Also their offensive movement was impressive. I knew their offense over the past years is about ball and player movement. Watching this year’s version their rookie guard PODZIEMSKI drove the ball down court frequently to get the Pacers scrambling a strategy that the Pacers have used this year often.
