That's not having high standards. You're saying "this is embarrassing" almost every time that a team makes a run against us. That's not holding a team to a high standard. That's expecting it to be perfect.

I don't expect the pacers to win every game but giving up a 16-1 run to a decimated team soon after letting the Raptors close on a 38-19 run is very concerning.

What? Pity the poor Pacers then. Someone called their play a joke, which it was.

I haven't insulted anyone on here. THAT is the point I am making. You are just shifting the goalposts in a poor attempt to discredit me.

Who is shifting the goalposts? You said you didn't insult anybody. I just showed you where you did.

Why did Frank wait so long to put Lance in the game in the fourth quarter? We were cold, and could have used his energy earlier in the quarter. I know we want to get DG in the flow, but not at the expense of Stephenson

Get used to it because is going to happen all year, I don't like it but that is what Vogel is doing.

No, you said "this team is a joke." That's what you said. Own it.

They were tonight. That is a fact.

Take a deep breath and relax.

I can't help it if people flip out because I say something they don't like.

Sure you can. It's called taking a deep breath and thinking about it for a second before posting...

I really don't want to put you on ignore man, I'm trying to avoid that this year, but the way people have reacted to a lot of your posts really shouldn't be that surprising... you need to recognize that.

Actually that's your OPINION, not a fact. See what I'm talking about?

My posts are not meant to inflame. I can't help it if people flip out because I say something they don't like.

Calling me a troll is just lazy.

Who is flipping out?

I clearly meant that in relation to people that post on here. Large well known organizations are going to take criticism, A LOT of it in fact.

I think against what was left of Cleveland we didn't play our best. Perhaps we weren't taking them seriously. I think beating Toronto on Tuesday will be another test. They're hot right now, almost beat Miami tonight. I think ultimately, this team needs another major offensive threat off the bench, and that's where trading Danny could work IF Simon is willing to go over the LT a bit, and we can land an Afflalo, or someone like that. I think as far as our level of play, I like some other posters here...would like to see us continuing to play like we did before Christmas. Where we smoked Houston and Boston in back to back games.

OK, so what? I stand by what I said and in subsequent posts have further detailed my specific concerns that led me to make that statement.

I felt that we took too much time at certain times in the 4th, before we got into our sets. Not enough movement away from the ball. We were up 12, they got hot and we went cold. It happens... if we score one or two baskets around that time, they give up and we blow them out I guess. We could have run a few playsbI thought were we'd have Paul George catch it on the move somewhat above the elbow. If they'd go under a screen, he'd have an open shot at the corner. Instead, we elected to play a high p&r, which they defended quite well. We stopped pushing tue ball too, because we didn't want to get into their kind of game, but I'd like to see us try to run and just pull it back out if nothings there. That should at least get us into our sets earlier, instead of guys getting the ball with 4 on the clock and really have to force the issue quickly.
