lets keep it rolling!

props to ducler as usual


go pistons!

Atlanta is on a back to back too but we didn't travel and haven't traveled in a while. Im sure the team will be ready for this game and I'm sure the fans will be too. If Drummond plays with the same energy as last night, it's game over.

I expect Drummond to get hacked to near death tonight.

for real. if we play offense like we have been lately then it's a no-brainer to hack dre until SVG is forced to take him out.


plus budenholzer has done it every game vs. us this year i think.

He will only unleash the beast that is Baynes.

Be prepared for Hack-a-Drummond in the first quarter because ATL knows they can't beat us

Yeah Dre was killing them not last game, but game before they went to hack a Dre. It worked. They didn't hack him last game that I remember.

Edit: yeah they did, but not as bad as the game before that

Look for Schroeder to absolutely annihilate Blake

like last time when they beat us in Detroit? This game is gonna be an uphill battle after having a mighty hard time putting away the bobcats last night

With the way Baynes is playing, let them hack-a-Dre all they want. Just gotta be aggressive on offense to hopefully force more fouls on them.

Pacers got the Nets and the Bulls have the Magic. So if we want to keep the pressure on Indy and keep the distance on Chicago this is pretty much a must win for us again. I don't see either of them losing their matchups, although Nets have been playing decent ball.

We aren't catching the Pacers, they have such an easy finish.

I'll be honest prior to last night I was totally fine winning 1 of these 2. If we win both, that is just a bonus.

I mean technically we already have caught IND, but it'll be interesting to see how they finish down the stretch because all the other teams around us in the standings seem to be stumbling to the finish..

They just have such an easy finish though.

Doesn't really mean much imo. You gotta play the games. If we finish strong I see no reason we can't pass them.

Every reason for the Pacers to undermine their opponents and a lottery team beating them to spoil their season.

No days off, even with the lead we need to treat every game like a must win. Our squad has had a tendency to fumble the gimmies, so we need to create as much daylight between us and WAS/Chicago as possible, especially with 2 head to head games left.

Could have our 40th win of the season!!!

We don't have anymore gimmies. The closest is Cleveland since they'll sit down their starters.
