OxyBubbleMan 306 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So Pacers fans were right that coaching was a problem. Nate had me believing that the Domas-Myles pairing couldn't work. Myles was always one of my players. Injuries played a huge part too into how frustrating the Pacers were last season. All of their starters took turns getting injured along with trying to integrate Dipo again. They really didn't get into a rhythm. I hope they avoid getting bitten by the bug this season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which has catapulted him into the number 1 ranked play atm in yahoo. If anything he’d get 2-3 more boards per game if he was the center Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have the focus on Myles as the go-to guy, the team plays a lot worse since hes not a good passer as Sabonis. Myles is the player you want to get the blocks, the occasional steals and 3s on elite %s. Hes not a rebounder, watch some games pls. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Myles Turner isn’t a top 50-60 player for his scoring 1st off. 2nd off he’s been an elite shot blocker since he’s entered the league with or without Sabonis. 3rd off he doesn’t give you elite %’s , WATCH some games please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who played basketball at any level knows this. Playing with Sabonis makes your job easier on D. You have a lot less to do because you don't have to play help defense as much as you would if you are playing with Bitadze/McDermott. Would you rather play with Sabonis or Bitadze/McDermott? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would you rather play with Sabonis or Bitadze/McDermott? I’m a firm believer of more minutes due to injury which equates to more stats. Too each there own but I see more opportunities if said player who plays same position gets injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise he barely gets touches as Sabonis dominates most bigs inside. I didn't draft him for points.. Blocks are hard to come by off WW, so that's why i drafted turner. If he's able to give me pts, 3's and ftm then damn i'm winning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mbroo5880i 915 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Yeah, he always struggles against Steven Adams. Zion;s ability to get to the basket hasn't helped. Sabonis has struggled with fouls too. Yahoo! has him with 1 BLK. I know he had what appeared to be 3 certain BLKs in the 1st half and another that could have been another block. Sometimes determining what is a block or steal in the NBA is like trying to determine what is a catch or pass interference in the NFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He singlehandedly can win H2H blocks in a good week. And usually helps percents and sometimes hits threes. Awesome. Don't even mind the lack of boards some nights.

Apollo_87 416 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Seriously, this guy is single handedly winning me a category every week. He was my flyer blocks specialist cause I literally have no other blocks guys. And I’m rolling opponents in that category so far. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
