Nurkic getting a full-court pass for an easy bucket is a great thing.
 
I know Josh just made a 3, but him refusing to shot open 3s is extremely frustrating. I dont know why he does that. I wouldn't be mad if he gets traded tbh
 
Nice flurry of action there by the boys to end the half up a point. Keeping Haliburton in check so far is good also.
 
We’re lucky the Pacers are only 1/10 from 3.
 
Nurkic one rebound away from a double double in the first half.
 
The last 2.5 minutes of the half are what is so maddening - when we focus and take care of the ball, we can look absolutely dominant. But going to need more than 2.5 minutes of that.
 
It was a shame that we had the bonus half way through the first and didn't get any non shooting free throws after that. For those of you who claim Dame does nothing but walk the ball up the floor, you haven't been paying attention. He hasn't been pushing the ball by running it up the floor off of turnovers and rebounds but he's constantly hitting the quick up court pass. I think Dame will have a big time shooting second half.

Way to spin that negatively.

Hold on, I thought him shooting 3s was GOOD for our team. Standby, I’ll go find the thread.

Here and there, sure, but 3 in the 1st quarter isn't a trend that anyone is clamouring for. But please, continue with you hyperbole as usual.
 
Best Nurk has looked in awhile.Nice battle between him and Turner.

You are expecting Hart to be a scoring threat?

Oh I could go find you the multiple posts by people thinking him shooting 3s was good for our team. You don’t remember that?

Was being down 11 before that after a 10-0 start something other than negative? I'm hoping the second half looks more focused like that last stretch. It's a very winnable game if so.

It's about context. Stop with the straw man arguments. Nobody is/was advocating for Nurk to be the guy you go to late when you need a buzzer beater. There is nothing wrong with Nurk shooting a timely 3 in the correct context.
 
Dame dribbles the entire shot clock out then throws the grenade to Ant with 4 seconds left. What are you doing Dame????
 
that was great move from nurk from the 3-point line, just couldnt get shot to fall
 
Nurk with one of the dumbest 'save the ball under his own basket' plays of all time. Jesus.
