2023-2024 General Game Thread

These whistles have not been equal on both sides of the court. Pacers are playing harder and complaining less, so they’re getting more calls.

These last few games shows you exactly why we need a true pg running with the first unit. Our ceiling is limited with this team as constructed but hey at least we’re most likely making the playoffs this year, even if we don’t make it out of the first round. 

[All Eyes On Me 1,210]

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of a team getting 0 fast break points in an entire game.

[All Eyes On Me 1,210]

Magic make a run, refs bail out the Pacers. Rinse and repeat. The loss might actually wind up being on Mosley for not playing Isaac enough

Dang that was frustrating. Totally outplayed this whole weekend, hopefully something changes going forward but jeez the offence is looking bad. At least the Wizards beat the Heat haha 

[All Eyes On Me 1,210]

Not a lot to like about this one. Props to Isaac, Carter and Ingles, everyone else was anywhere between bad and terrible.

On to Brooklyn.. another week break from playing a real team, so maybe we got another 4 game winning streak coming before we get the Pels on the 21st.

oh, and the Heat blew one to the Wizards, so we got that going for us.

This is why as limited (shooting) as markelle currently is, he was helpful on stabilizing and controlling our game flow. No matter how good Paolo and Franz in ball handling relative to their size, they can only do it in spurts and not the whole game as their energy will be wasted just bring the ball down being pressured by the opponents. 
Even prime Lebron needs someone to bring the ball down on crucial possession. 
Cole don’t count as he is not a “natural” PG

What we need is better teamwork, better spacing, and more threats on the floor.  Paulo, Franz, Wendell and Cole took about 75% of our shots tonight and none of them were shooting well.

My son and I had a good time despite the result.  Atmosphere of going to a major league event is always special.

Silver linings time. Despite a bad weekend and a 2 game losing streak where we didn't do ourselves any favors we’re:

Still in 5th

Only 1/2 game out of 4th

Get a break in the schedule to practice, rest and get Suggs healthy

Still own the tiebreakers with New York and Indiana

We didn’t capitalize this weekend, but luckily it didn’t hurt us as bad as it could have

Almost impossible to win if starting back court gets 5 points…

I don’t see the complaining less.. They were whining from the getgo and after that technical foul, Carlisle was in their head and the calls were favorable to the Pacers. 

Mosley needs to learn the technical foul game
