Darn :/
I completely missed this game, (being from Australia) what happened gang?
Almost another historic Jitty game. Also Z really tricked us again last game
Only caught the second half but once again a close loss isn’t too bad especially to a Pacers team that is holding well despite not having Hali. That lineup to end the 3rd probably cost us the game but it’s hard to really be critical on rotations tbh given what Jenkins has to work with. He unfortunately can’t play Jaren and Vince for all 48mins
Pacers really needed some of the most blindass, careless officiating along with the best performance of Steve Urkel’s career to (barely) beat the Hustle. Proud of the boys, on to the next.
Each game we play against the East the more I’m convinced that this team with injuries is a top 8 seed if we were properly geolocated
Vince Williams Jr is still the truth. What a stud.
Sign GG by ASB

These games are gonna happen but ngl this one hurts a bit, thought we could pull it off with our good away record and the Pacers injury report
The Hustle showed great effort. Once JJJ was out, we got crushed inside, you sprinkle some untimely turnovers and no calls in there, the result is not surprising.
Vince, GG, Jitty, Roddy all did good, too bad the Z thing was a fever dream…

Some postgame thoughts…
**• Vince Williams, Jr…**
Every game is better than the last. Love seeing that. It’s just so exciting. Can’t wait to see how high he takes it.
**• Jaren Jackson, Jr gets the worst whistle of any higher-tier player I’ve seen…**
Trip’s not a superstar so I don’t expect him to get a superstar’s whistle. But he should get the call over off-brand randos. The calls between he and Siakam should be even but there’s no way Jalen Smith should get a more favorable whistle than Jaren Jackson, Jr. I realize he set a season high in free throws (*or something like that*) but he really should have gotten more calls than he did.
Having said that…
**• …Trip gets stripped so much because he picks up his dribble below his knees.**
This is a bit of a psychological thing. Trip knows he’s a slow dribbler and his handles are… dubious. So he tries to dribble low to compensate (*part of why he’s always kinda hunched over when he dribbles*). So when he picks it up and raises it above his head to Euro-step or whatever he intends to do, it’s easy to strip him.
Trip does draw a fair number of double teams but often he gets into trouble not so much because it’s a dedicated double team, its that defenders know he’s not going to pass, they know he moves slow and they know his main defender is going to push him a particular way: so the help defender can just step in and take a swipe. This is where a true playmaker like Ja or a developing playmaker like Des is so helpful: they can feed him the ball in situations where he either doesn’t have to dribble or won’t be subject to a help defender.
**• We throw the laziest passes in the NBA…**
The Pacers only had 8 steals but it’s not because they didn’t have the chances. We throw passes that are too soft, too telegraphed, too wild, not on time. Defenders can time them and read those passes like a book. Santi dribbled from the Pacers 3-point line into our paint, staring at Vince the whole time and then went ahead and passed it to him. No fake out. No “*Ha! Tricked you! Tossing it to this wide open person beyond the arc!*” No, just telegraphed it and threw it to him. It was terrible. We do a lot of that.
They really should be past shit like that. None of them should have reached this point in the NBA thinking that you can get away with that sort of thing. The number of steals they got don’t tell the whole story: they got the steals they needed when it counted and they turned the game around.
**• For every good game Z has, he has five or six bad ones…**
The Ziaire Williams we saw last game will go on hiatus for a week and a half. He wasn’t as bad as that game against the heat but he made some costly errors down the stretch. Errors that a player in his third year shouldn’t make. When we’re winning, it’s all jokes but in a loss you really feel it.
On the other hand…
**• …GG Jackson is just so fucking smooth and plays like he’s been in the League a while.**
I’m always surprised by how **not**-reckless he is as a player. He doesn’t play like he’s a 19-year old rookie who doesn’t know better. At the end of a time out, you could see Ja and Marcus Smart talking to him, pointing things out, giving him advice. It’ pretty great. I’m glad that despite being hurt, they’re there guiding these other guys along their development.
Played their asses off and Vince definitely has MVP in his future. Why is the pacers commentator still mentioning JAs suspension but not Giddy🤨
Never thought I’d say this, but I think we probably win if we shoot more threes. Vince, GG and Santi were all great from three but should’ve gotten a lot more attempts
It’s weird living in the a world where a Grizz loss effects me so little, but it is nice not having that stress. On to the next one, today was fun
