Indiana Pacers 2.0

[KingPG21 6,587]

Finally showing the energy they need in this game, bust this crap open please

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

I really hope these guys turn this around...  Such a brutal last month and a half.

[jayben00 75]

Weird to see some people worried at like 41-13

 

Oh, how 2 months can and have created a whole different persona for this team. Two questions now persist: 1. Will Larry suit up and save this team?, and, 2. Will Frank Vogel succumb to the same verbal assault that CTC has been dealt on this website.

 

There is a never ending host of minions waiting patiently for the opportunity to displace those appointed to pedestals.

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN?

[KingPG21 6,587]

Stomp on their necks. Leave no doubt about this game

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

Vogel better keep that lineup out there. 

[KingPG21 6,587]

Not to beat a dead horse with the stick, but Ian is some much better defensively against Atlanta due to him actually being able to move his feet 

[TheWatShot 15,047]

I hope the Pacers don't let up. The last thing I want to see is a 20-10 type of run by the Hawks where they start knocking down 3's again and regain some confidence going into the next game. 

 

 

That PG buzzer beater probably ended this one.

You guys.... I am the good luck charm

Solid second half. Need to carry that into the next game. I don't think their struggles are over just yet though...

Definitely not. At least one of these next two games, the Hawks are going to go something like 15/25 from 3 and the Pacers will be scrambling for answers.

 

 

Tonight was nice (minus the part where they fell behind by 11; they were in dire straits then), but we've seen this song and dance before. Need to get an early lead and keep it Thursday night.

Haha wow. Somewhere in my sick mind I think it's good for the team. Get all the air out beat each other up solve your differences and lets win some damn games. Last night in the second half was the best Pacer team I've seen in months.

From the tone of the article it sounds like Lance mauled Turner. Which I was really happy about. I can't stand Turner. I didn't watch the game last night, but it sounds like that 2nd half could change things for this team. Hopefully.

Last night was my first playoff game crowd was mehh the first half but damn that third quarter crowd felt like it was miami. It literally felt like the building was shaking when PG hit that buzzer beater.

I went to a game in the Hawks series last year and we murdered them so it was kind of boring. You've got to go to a Heat game if it comes to that. Feels like a big time IU game. No lie.

Always thought the trade was good until they started their slide.  Looks like Danny's presence is sorely missed in that locker room.  Good 2nd half last night though.

Exactly. I personally don't like Turner's game and the way he carries himself. I don't know what it is, I just don't like him. But with Danny, we miss his personality more than anything. He was a team leader and he just happened to have some game left. Not the sole reason we slid, but it would've been nice to have him.

From what I have read a number of people have said that fighting isn't that uncommon. Though maybe Lance beating up Turner, or how it sounds, might be
