Big week ahead. We need to take care of business with the Nets and beat the Heat for the tie breaker Sunday.

Nets lineup is a tough one with Cam Thomas, Schroeder, M. Bridges. D. Finney Smith, and Claxton. Another shooter in Cam Johnson comes off the bench.

Have to make their shooters take contested shots and our better second team beat their backups and we should be able to win this.

That put back off the free throw by Walker was pretty cool but he followed it up with a bad defensive losession and then a blunder when he put it on the floor

Pacers 75-47 at halftime. Myles dislocated index finger on his right hand. I think he’s done for tonight with the game in hand and adequate backup to rest him.

Pacers are still a 6.5 point favorite to win tonight. I don’t bet but this sounds good that we’re favored on the road without Myles.

Stix was playing great Monday until he lost his temper. Nets have Claxton at center and no size behind him. Oscar might matchup.

Smith looking good on offense, but missing Turner's defense.

Pacers 31-19 finally pulled away from the Nets mostly due to defense holding the Nets to 36% shooting 11% from 3 :o

I know IJax had a few miscues defensively, but I don't think the no center lineup is gonna fare a lot better.

Pacers ahead 62-61 luckily. The lack of defense to close the half let the Nets right back into the game. Carlisle has to get a game plan to cover the open 3 point looks they’re getting.

The refs are definitely letting them play and currently it appears that the Pacers are getting roughed up when trying to score in the paint.

Better defense to end the third due to I Jax guarding the rim better than Smith and ball pressure by McConnell, Sheppard, and Toppin. Pacers down 1.

You know the Nets want to avenge the beat down but this Pacer squad is playing terrible tonight
