We are just getting destroyed by guards/wings - Avery could have at least gave an honest effort at containing the big scorers, but without him, it's just not looking good.

We have to get AD the ball on the move going to the basket. That's what NO did when he was there.

AD also needs to make a greater effort to run the floor in transition and grab offensive boards to get second shots.

When we simply give him the ball on the wing in the mid-post, it allows the other team to load up their help defense on AD.

There is a thing I want to say. It is OK to cruise after locking. But you have to have some pride if you consider yourself a SUPERSTAR. This is just unacceptable, period.

I’m concerned about AD


I can understand your reticence. But remember he's playing with a different group of players on the court (Vogel combinations) by design. Our weakness is our depth. The more the depth plays with LeBron and AD, the more comfortable they'll be playing with each other.

I firmly believe this is all about getting the depth playing time prior to the playoffs. It's a calculated strategy designed for future cohesion.


He looks a bit out of shape


Yeah...now that i noticed after whatever game it was, guys do not look in Basketball Shape. Hopefully that’s all it is.

So we have to babysit him??

I disagree. Our rotation needs to tighten. We looked as good as we did today because we had a tighter rotation. Playing a bunch of guys has not worked out for us. Our offense is far behind our defense. We need guys who can defend. Dion for example is a poor defender. I didn’t miss him.

I think Vogel is experimenting a little too much, I get that we have the 1 seed locked..but I think he should just solidify a rotation going into the playoffs so they can get some kind of chemistry going in.

Lebron looked winded at the end. I hope we’re just out of shape...but We will be able to be playoff ready in the limited amount of time we have?

I’m not sure if you are being serious or sarcastic, but yeah that’s easy to say after AD’s performance.

Oladipo, Brogdon and Warren all played well and it still almost wasn’t enough.

AD is still top 5-7, but he needs to get his head out of his ass. I’m thinking you were just being funny

It was good to see Quinn Cook's shot finally waking up.

Dwight played well too (10 points, 12 rebounds).

There’s a small chance he wasn’t trying to be funny. Take a peek inside the AD thread , nothing but doomsday/the sky is falling in there

AD is really struggling when double teamed. But I'm not worried. Once comes playoff time, we're gonna unleash the LBJ-AD pick and roll.

what is this talk about no 1 seed is locked. That is useless in the bubble.

Infact right now, it looks like Being No 2 is better than 1

You guys are right. That's too much for AD.

Are you serious? You think maximizing AD's skillset in order to optimize our team offense is "babysitting" him?

Well, it is locked up. Win or lose, we can't change spots.

I think its a combo of them naturally letting up since there is nothing to play for and taking opponents for granted. Plus, the Pacers ALWAYS play LBJ hard, they always have. I think they think it will somehow lessen the sting of LBJ sending them home in like 5 postseasons.
