Haha you get on it once every two years

Proudly representing Bobba Fatt for like 10 years now everywhere.
 
Indiana will have a bunch of offensive talent when Oladipo gets back.

But they are quickly learning just how good Thad Young is defensively. They're struggling right now.

Did he play tonight? I literally did not even notice him.

He's not on the team anymore. That's my point. Their defense has been rough in these first two. Saw first half in the bar tonight and Thad Goings absence was noticeable. Hes a Kevin Love nightmare. Love looked so free out there.

Completely misread you. I always wanted Young on a LeBron team as a switchable wing/big hybrid.

And you’re right about Love, he was really able to get his shot off or draw the foul. Young matched up well against although I do remember on postseason game against Indiana two years ago where Love absolutely owned the Pacers for a stretch, drawing foul after foul. Can’t remember if that was a year Young was on their team.

It’s weird watching TT be so effective. Maybe it’s just years of repetition but his array of little hook and push shots have become money.

Well, I certainly can respect a dude who stays with one identity over the long haul.

I just can’t quite tell if Boba Fatt is a heroic figure, or a figure of some pathos.

Agreed 100%. This was the first time I saw something representing a system and meaningful placement of the personnel.... in a long time. And Indiana saw it too. Late in the game when they saw that if Kevin Love got the ball, it was a dangerous thing, they started swarming him on defense.

They had an insane level of chemistry the last couple years for the talent level of players. While TJ Warren, Lamb, and Brogden are upgrades on paper, I'm not sure they will make Indy better than just keeping Collison, Bogdanovic, Cory Joseph, and Thad Young.

Hard to compare this Pacers team to those teams until/unless Dipo returns to full strength.
