Keeping Mathurin out of the game up until the end almost lost them the game. Also shows what Obi is capable of Offensively when he gets more minutes over an extended period of time. That's why he was so good last season. He had all that playing time. He's a player that gets loose the more he plays. Very consistent too once he does. This is why he got that contract.
Obi was the reason we stayed in the game. Mathurin was the reason we won the game late. Haliburton and Pascal hit some timely shots. But Haliburton has to be better.. He makes me wish we had Poole and Reaves instead right now.. and I can't believe I'm saying that. He's not been the guy he was last year.
I wish Haliburton could play like Reaves, LaMelo and Poole. Off the dribble and off ball. Those guy's are fearless, Haliburton is far too passive. He doesn't even try to take dude's. For once I'd like to see him shake and break a guy's ankles for a shot. Or get into the paint and score. Make those razzle dazzle passes we saw last season. It's like ever since he's gotten that Supermax, he hasn't been trying like before. Jordan Poole was throwing passes like Haliburton of last season. Showing him up out there and they were destroying us.. No one could stop them. Our defense was atrocious.. I was depressed watching them do us that way.. After the great season Haliburton had last year. Obvious we can't play that way anymore.. 🙇
Congratulations and many blessings!
Some Mathurin love …that's wassup 😏👌
Yay 🎉
I cant fathom why Carlisle hates Mathurin so much
Pascal couldn’t shoot tonight but had several steals and hit 3 out of 4 critical free throws
Haliburton not looking good anymore. What happened
Haliburton is stealing money.
I think obi had a 30 game on us before he was traded to us.
They have been sluggish since Paris. Thank God for the all star break.
I hope Mathurin works on catching and shooting all summer long 😎
I had the cash out for crumbs in my parlay because I didn't think the Pacers were going to comeback against the wizards
Thanks Tony! Congrats on the wedding! Also awesome job on the recent East Squad appearances!
I'm old enough to have watched Red Auerbach's Celtics and the famous Boston 6th man. Years later Red admitted that he brought his best player off the bench at the 6 minute mark. After the first substitutions, his team got better and the other team got worse and he felt the other team never caught up. Carlisle played in Boston and should know this story. Someone should tell Benn that being the first sub doesn't have to mean you aren't one of the best five players.
