Game Night- Pacers at Bulls

[Grang33r]

Game can be seen live on NBA TV at 8pm tonight. NBA TV is actually airing a Pacers preview right before, at 730pm.

Quick notes-

-Bulls to be without Noah and Rose tonight
-Pacers should get their starters back in after sitting out vs. Dallas

Any sign if Granger is playing?

He is, and making shots too.

Just popping in to apologize for our announcers.

Yea thanks unless PG is Paul West now, these guys are sitting court side and can't get a name right or is a black guy a black guy to them.

Only watched the 4th quarter (had to work tonight)...

1. We had absolutely zero answer for Derrick Rose, who did play, despite me reading earlier that he was not. Sorry about that misinformation. But Rose killed us.

2. Ball movement needs help. Even when it was all starters from a year ago on the court, they seemed not to know where each other were. Seemed lost and that caused them to take some desperate shots.

3. Free throw practice? Jeebus. Pacers missed 6 of 8 free throws down the stretch with the game close, including 3 in a row when the game was tied (1 by Hill, 2 by Lance). Gotta make those free throws.

He played, but left again after he re-aggravate his strained calf.

It looks to me this team really doesn't know how to play with each other. Their defense is mediocre and so is their offense. But of course this is preseason where we have time to improve on these things. Hopefully we do... And Scola doesn't look comfortable yet hopefully he comes around.. Free throws are just horrible we could've probably won that game if we could just make our free throws.

One thing I liked was how well PG and DG played together in the first quarter.
