I know the Pacers aren't good but I have heard Copeland has been balling this year?

Should be another relatively easy win as long we take care of business.

Got a rare specific feeling this one is going to be quite a tight battle start to finish. Tough if true, because Toronto might be the best team going right now. Tired in T Dot...not good.

Hibbert's going to put up big numbers.

Scola's getting on a bit of a roll.

Should be a good one.

This Pacers team should not be compared to that Sixers team. This game will be literally 10x harder for the Suns.

This is a real NBA team.

I'm looking forward to some minutes of Len v. Hibbert.

Len seems a lot more effective defending bugs than help defending guards. Dunno why that is, if true, or if it's just a small sample size. Anyway it will be fun to see him defend the ginormous Hibbert or the undersized but indefatigable Scola.

I'm definitely not comparing any other team in the NBA to the 76ers. But the Pacers aren't a good team. This shouldn't be a hard game even though it's on the road and b2b but you are right, will definitely be harder than Philly.

I guess that would depend on the size of the bugs. :D I often feel I put on enough bug repellant and still some skeeters get through.

If there ever was a time to put len in the starting linup it's tonight. He matches up much better with Hibbert than plumlee

But wouldn't Len do better vs. Mahinmi? I still think we're in the build his confidence phase. He'll get into the starting lineup by the end of the year most likely.
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

yeah, cause Plumlee currently matches up well against the bench seat.

This will be an interesting game for Plum - I think he'll either come out on a tear against his former team, or he'll choke like a chicken big time. Either way, it will be something to keep an eye on and will likely affect his confidence one way or another.

Meh, at this point, he's been with the Suns longer than he was with Indy.

When he's on like last night its a thing of beauty but if not its like watching Kobe chuck and chuck until you're 1-14 and still believe chucking is the solution.

If we want to make the playoffs in the West, we need to beat all below .500 teams even in the road.

Key matchup: Hibbert. Plumlee and Len need to keep him in check.

I think Bledsoe just tried to bounce pass it to Scola on the fast break :lol:

Plumlee with another game with early two fouls. First one was really avoidable.
