Awesome win, we looked like the pre-All Star game Pacers. Hopefully that carries over to the Wiz.
Honestly, I think the Wiz will give us far less matchup problems. A lot less shooters, which makes life easier for West and Hibbert since they'll be guarding Nene and Gortat rather than Antic and Mike Scott, though Nene has been on a roll recently.
We play the Wizards on Monday, and Miller4Ever has already volunteered to do the game thread for game #1, so I'll leave him to it.

Congrats Indy. Now it's time to take it to the Wizards.
After Rose broke both his knees, I gave up on the hope that we'd make it to the NBA Finals again. It will probably be decades before we see another championship. Hello Treadmill, here we come.
It's the shoes!

Really pleased to see an effective Hibbert as well, we will need him against the Wiz.
Big Roy pulled himself together and gave us a good game, PG was huge. Now we need to win our home games and we'll be in the finals.

Good win. Frank did a good job limiting his rotation. If the Pacers can sustain that kind of defense all throughout the series with Washington, they have a good chance of pulling away early. Also, offensively, this is how the Pacers used to roll with Lance making opportunities and the Pacers not really taking forced shots.

The game started at 7:30am here and I stayed up to 6am and fell asleep. 
Watching it now, it's at HT. I'm loving the energy shown from the crowd and players.
Hopefully this game sparks us for the rest of the playoffs.

Top tip: Games that start at 7.30 AM, set the alarm clock and go to bed

Vogel is Dutch for Bird.

Agreed, George was great in G7. But i think, despite not having as sexy of stats, Lance Stephenson had just as big of an impact on the game as George did. Both were great i thought.
