Stephenson is a chucker in last minutes of games
Why do Pacers give him the ball when he drags them down....

George and Hibbert looked horrible. I guess he felt the need to carry the team. Not sure, just finished watching the game myself.

Trade Hibbert and Hill pls

[EuroPacer]

Well, it is official. I bought into this team long, long before it was anything and it still isn't anything now.

Back to supporting the eternal underdogs.

[Nuntius]

That was pretty disappointing. We didn't play well and Lady Luck wasn't on our side either.

We should move on from that. Game 4 is a must win and we can take the advantage back if we win it.

I've always liked George Hill and Roy Hibbert, would really like to see them both succeed but I'm afraid they are playing themselves off the team. Roy is so weak mentally. George's tendency to lose confidence would probably be noticed more were it not for for Roy's confidence issues being the elephant in the room.

As a third party who watched this game, I just gotta say things aren't looking good for the Pacers. However, Scola was brilliant. Pacers need to feed the ball to West and Scola more. I think they'll have a better chance of winning with them! Rooting for you guys to win Game 4!

Hawks are literally the luckiest team in the NBA.

I thought they should have blown us out. Missed a TON of wide open threes.

He was our best player in the game (check the stats) and on an offense that doesn't move the ball, he is exactly what we need.

[GrandBasterd]

I would almost rather the pacers lose, than have to hear that mic'ed up rim 'THWUNK' on every shot.

There were like four plays tonight where he was looking to pass and there was ZERO movement from the other players and he had to dribble and take the shot. It's like it was uncalled ISOs.

Love watching LMA and Lillard. That is a really fun team to watch and I'm rooting for them.

I think Vogel continues to run a oversimplified offense that is pretty easy to defend. And the lack of guys who can create and guys who can really space out the floor makes it harder for your team on the offensive end of the floor.

[number1joker]

u guys need to bench Hibbert quickly

Yes, our offense is absolutely dreadful. This isn't new though, it has been this bad the entire Vogel era bar a few exceptional games where individuals were able to dominate. We genuinely look best when we play an inside out game, Hibbert, West, Scola are all good passers of the ball (trust me, Hibbert had a point in his career where he did actually manage to catch a ball) and where the ball moves from wing to wing. These days we just run a pathetic weave and a few half hearted pick and pops.

The game is 4am Melbourne, Australia time. ugh

After three 3AM nights before hitting the pillow you won't get sympathy from me on this one pal didn't realise you were down under.
