I love, love how the Pacers press full court all game long. Tough to do in the regular season and it is hard, but you make nothing easy for the opponent.
I have gone from knowing who Nembhard his, but not really knowing him to thinking he may be my favorite role player in the league. Smart, good defense, doesn't make mistakes, doesn't turn the ball over, and seems to make all the right plays. I am a huge fan.
I thought last night the moment looked a little big for Toppin. Rick pulled him in the third, but gave him a run in the fourth and made two huge defensive plays and a monster dunk that really saved the game.
Love how Rick develops bench players. McConnell was good before Rick but he sort of has him in that JJB role. Mathurin probably wants (and deserves) a bigger role in the future, but to be able to play that card and for him to produce after some limited minutes is huge.
