    Man, you can't lose to the magic like that. You just can't do that. That team plays horribly, it's not basketball.

    I doubt it gets better. Russ isn't someone you pair with, with those players. The best type of player for Russ is somebody like prime KG, KD, and/or Klay. Two players that impact both sides of the court, and don't need the ball to get it done but inherently will get 20ppg due to sheer skill/talent level.

    He makes nobody better.

    glad we're done with IND and MEM for the season.

    ryno is a completely different player with cp3 on the floor.

    hopefully that 3 for ego in the 4th ends his slump.

    fuking zebras.

    Some observations. For all of the Pacers height, we out boarded them by 13. Also there were 3 jump balls & we won all 3. Someone told Ryno we were in Indy & road Ryno showed up. Not only did his shot show up, but he was active on the board. His 9 boards were 2nd only to Capela. CP3 & Harden are crazy good.

    DD has gotten real lazy with these one liners. He use to give in-depth analysis that would end up being totally wrong. That was prime DD

    Russell Westbrook needs help, you guys. Can you imagine if he had guys like Durant and Harden around him? Oh wait...

    You are correct, BUT, this is a very different animal they will be dealing with now. It's fairly simple to load up a defense for one player every trip down the floor. Can't do that anymore with CP3 on the floor and err body hitting 3s at a high rate.

    I do still want to see him prove it to us though, so I share your concern. He OWES US.

    we play the Spurs on December 15th...I have that game circled

    if we come out and handle business against them then...

    even without Kawhi, they are still very good and very tough to beat

    in the mean time, I expect a lot of blowout wins until that game

    So, Harden falls .1 (1 total point) points from having a 35/10 month (only 2 players ever have achieved it) due to blowout boring games.

    Oh how far we have come from the 88-80 game years. This team is properly made (props DM), properly coached (Mike D props), and brings it daily.

    Blowing teams out like they are nothing with Gordon struggling like crazy and basically 8 man rotation. Very impressive, Pacers were on a roll too.

    Gordon must really have a thumb problem, he’s even missing from the FT line going 1 of 4.
