I’m no Tony East at maths. But I’m pretty sure 0 + 00 = W.
I've been saying this for a year. Mathurin is our best player. Mark my words.
This season is shaping up to be a lot like the last one. What is going on with this team? Who knows? Just buckle up and enjoy and the ride.
But, please, guys… Don't make me feel embarrassed to be a Pacers fan again, like that game in Charlotte.
Mathurin played some of the best defense I've ever seen him play as well. Shot over 70% in all field goal percentages. Better passing IQ than he normally plays with. His focus was superb. If we start seeing more games like this for Mathurin, the Pacers have a very bright future.
Mathurin was the first jersey i got than haliburton. Were going to have to pay Mathurin to keep him. Hes a machine
We were attacking mismatches well. Turner could of had 30 put missed a couple in the paint. Jarace block on brunson was beautiful. Made my girl say wow
As long as Siakam is pulling from 3 and hitting, playing D and rebounding. I have no complaints. Because I know what he can do from Midrange and inside.
Pacers need to go on a winning streak. I can't wait for them to play the cavs.
The overall effort was nice to see, the team D and Offensive tenacity! That's everything we've been missing. Haliburton has needed a guy like Mathurin in the staring 5. It sucks it's taken injuries to get Mathurin and Walker minutes.. But this is what I've been asking for.. and it's obvious that this is the way to go. Mathurin is already an All-Star type of player. He's only going to keep on improving. He has the body type and tenacity to become a great defender as well.. and will surpass Nembhard easily on Defense. I think last year he was trying to find himself in the Offense. So now that he's settling in. He's going to become a monster on both ends of the floor. The sky is the limit for Benedict Mathurin. I absolutely love the kid and he's my favorite player and Hali of course. Despite his struggles lately, we know who Hali is. It's obvious he's been dealing with back issues. I pray it's nothing serious. I think if he could have focused on strengthening his core during the off-season. Instead of the Olympics, rehabbing injuries. He would have been much better to start the season. He needed to take some time off as well.. Hopefully once guy's get back healthy. The strain to play so much early can be lifted a bit for Hali. We need him to get better asap.
I was so happy to see them get this win. I needed to see this from them to keep my faith after the CHA loss. You can tell who they get up for and who they don't. CHA is becoming a legit threat though and they have a solid core group. I guess Hali wasn't feeling too good that day.. But LaMelo is also a tough matchup as well. He's playing outside his mind right now. Like Hali was to start last season.
We need player's to stay aggressive and attack the basket. That helps open the floor for Haliburton and helps him slash/create passes. Which can allow him to play his best basketball. Breaks team's down and wears player's out. They have to worry about everyone and keeps the defense scrambling. We need solid effort from everyone and guy's to step into roles that bring out the best in each player. Set screens/ghost screens for eachother. Learn eachothers spots and develop solid plans of attack. I'd have each individual player get together with everyone over time. Have them learn eachother and practice a couple signature plays with each one. So they can develop chemistry and understand what helps each player to score.. their favorite spots, etc.
If Jarace was to find himself now. We get him going alongside Mathurin.. and he can tap into that Defensive timing that helped make him such a solid prospect in college. This team could resurrect themselves. That's all they've needed is guy's to step up and find themselves a solid role within the team. He's going to need minutes to do so. I hope he can take advantage while everyone is out. I can see him slowly beginning to get a lot more comfortable. It shows promise, seeing him getting these timely blocks when he has and hitting shots. It's much harder to play Defense in the NBA, once he adjusts. We should begin to see a lot more of Jarace's qualities as a player on both ends. If I were the Pacers I'd have him work on his footwork a bit more. Staying light on his feet and explosiveness. Since NBA is much tougher, he needs quickness to keep up with faster players. He's gotten a lot better all around since last year already. I hope he can become a beast for the Pacers, he's a hard worker and I like Walker.
Mathurin looks good at the moment. I'm not going to just forget that he scored 20 a game for a while as a rookie and then disappeared. The D and passing look better but i still worry that shot is going to go away like it did then. I am pretty sure he shot 42% from 3 the first 25 games or somrthing then 25% the rest of the way. Need to see this be consistent before I trust it, but we need it now.
Also Haliburton, some of those cuts to the bench didnt look good. Wincing in pain and all the pads and stuff hes messing with. If we ever get healthy I hope he gets some time to sit.
I love everything we've seen from Mathurin. He's played 1&1/2 season's coming into this year. His shot/D/vison have all improved. One of the most underrated thing's. Is his ability to catch timely rebounds off misses. He doesn't give up on plays and runs in for the Rebound. He hustles, has tenacity and attacks. His energy is contagious and his mindset is what has made the best player's in the history of basketball. The stronger your will, your confidence and determination. The better the player and Benedict has all of those thing's. I couldn't be happier to see the Pacers with this kind of player. That's everything we've been missing over the year's, for awhile now. I hope to see him keep on improving and taking our team to new heights. 💯🙌 Let's Go Pacers!!!
Trade for Giannis, but don't give up Mathurin.
Mathurhim
Since Mathurin got drafted I thought he could be a 20+ point a night all star nice to see this from him. We really missed him in the playoffs as an isolation bucket when we needed it.
Great to see Tyrese bounce back.
GG’s great effort and execution after one of the worst games…keep playing at this level and get back to the ECF💪🏾
Hey Toni whats up with the Javale Mcgee stuff or a backup center?? I havent heard anything lately. Looking for a move!
🔥🔥💯💯
