Woohoo, struggling against a single digit win team.

Stuckey has been our best player, even with food poisoning.

Well lets not have a repeat of that Philly game. It seems that we just can't seem to put these teams away. We need to find some scoring.

Two of the worst teams in the NBA beat us 2 games in a row. What's next losing to the Knicks?

I'm about ready to do some tank warfare.

Life has really been screwing me over lately. I'm sick, I have a huge workload and my favorite teams losses back to back games that they should have won if they want to make the playoffs.

That really, really sucks

So... are we doing this whole "tank" thing now, or are we going to be stuck in purgatory all season? Yeah....Pacers....I'm going to need you to either start losing consistently or start winning consistently....yeah

Well, that was embarrassing all around.

Hah. Good question. We're tanking, but not actively. Kind of Knicks-ish, not Philly-ish.

We are a completely different team with Hill healthy. If he can come back soon, I'd take a 10 game span with him to more accurately see if we should be sellers, or not.
