Indiana Pacers 2013-2014

I just noticed that about 15 minutes ago.  Better than a 10:30 tip.  I'll get to watch. 

Yeah, I'm gonna regret it a lot. But am staying up to watch all of the games on this West Coast trip

[Parakeet Jones 3,848]

A day late on this, but that was a nice beat down on the Spurs last night.  Hopefully they'll finish off this road trip strong against the Thunder.  Whatever happens tonight it has been a good road trip.  Winning tonight would just be gravy....and I do like gravy.

Eh, they look out of sync again. OKC isn't the team to be out of sync against, unlike Utah they'll actually make us pay for it. Might see them get West and a couple other guys some extra rest if we don't put any dents in their lead by halfway through the third

[Parakeet Jones 3,848]

They look tired to me.  I know that the NBA style is more dependent on set rotations and all, but what would be the harm in giving Copeland and Sloan some more minutes tonight.  They don't play as much so they'd be fresher, it would rest some guys for Miami Tuesday, and at this point it wont' hurt anything.

This has been a wicked road trip. You would almost be expecting a miracle to expect a win tonight. Get the guys some rest. Let Cope drop some bombs.

Might as well see what Cope and some others could do. Down 19 at half, regular guys are out of sync/tired, won't hurt to put them out there, and let Cope start launching

I feel bad for Ian Mahimi. The guy is a back up center, some people seem to think he should come in and be like Roy out there. The guy is a back up center, if he was another Roy he wouldn't be a back up center

Why do you feel bad for him? He isn't even good enough to be a backup center... The dude fouls and throws bad passes, thats pretty much it.

If what Ian does is foul all the time, then so does Roy, the NBA is a name oriented league some guys get called for fouls that other guys don't. He rates out as an average back up center in the league, the guy is a back up center, some people have completely unrealistic expectations.

 

We could have Lou Amundson playing for us, and jumping all over the place and having no basketball fundamentals what so ever

Big win last night. Including it with the 5 game West Coast road trip to go 4-2 over those 6 games was huge for this team, one of the harder stretches of basketball these guys are going to see this year. Nice to get two days without having another game and they don't have to travel anywhere inbetween games. They have to have homecourt advantage if they want to go to the NBA Finals this year

Couldn't watch the game because I was in the Hall last night. Saw PG played like crap, and we pulled out the win. That got me very...very excited.

First half he was awful, bad decisions, sloppy passes, bad shot selection. He defense on LBJ was okay. Third quarter he made a ton of adjustments and played much better, fourth quarter we didn't go to him as often. But throughout the second half his defense was great on James. And again they still don't have anyone to cover Hibbert

Only chance they have is Oden playing to a little bit of his potential. Deadspin just posted a really good article about Roy on twitter.

They'll be fine even without Oden. The heat have done this every year and then turn it up another level come playoff time. 3-peat.

Ohhhh we have a Heat fan! Haha but really you're right when they play any team except the Pacers. With the improvement of Hibbert and the bench, it will be harder for the Heat to just "flip the switch" this year.

We'll see come playoff time, when the Pacers-Heat meet up in the playoffs, at this point injuries seems to be the only thing that could prevent this. Not going to pretend I know what is going to happen. Neither team has gone all out for an entire game so far this year, like what they'll have to do in a 7 game series. 

[Dalton26 16,900]

To be honest I said it last year and I'll say it again the ECF will be the real finals.

Couldn't agree more with MAYBE the exception of the Thunder.

Looks like Danny Granger will not be returning anytime soon.
