Should be a win. Momentum-building time.

I don't know if it should be but we're going to. :D


I'm assuming you thought all of the starters were going to play? If you knew Pendergraph, Jones and Price were starting, you're a crazy believer. :P

No. Just with West and George (Barbosa and Collison, too) we are better than the Pistons.

Eh, they still beat us at the start of the season. And Pendergraph, Fesenko and Stephenson, the guys who don't dress, are playing. I didn't think West would play as much as he has.

I believe in this team just about more than anyone but I wouldn't have expected the win with the end of our bench logging a lot of minutes.

We're up 3.... 2:23 to go.

Would love a win for the guys who don't play a lot.

Pendergraph with 10, 7, and 2 blocks in only 18 minutes of play. He seems to double up on what Lou brings. Energy, shotblocking, and undersized for center purposes.

Also, Paul George was the best player on the floor tonight, and West was his usual recent self.

Great to see Pendy, Kyrylo and Lance playing. Also, great to see George playing that and West being in shape.

Great night altogether :D

I guess I'll be the one to mention that our "above-average" point guard shot 1-8 and had 6 turnovers.

And, of course, I'll counter that our above-average point guard averages 4-9 from the field with 2 turnovers a game. Russell Westbrook went 3-22 with 3 turnovers last night. Talk about how bad he is.

Or, if you like better, Durant 11-34 with 5 turnovers. together they shot 14-56 and had 8 turnovers. Toss those two like last week's leftovers.

Darren Collison is a terrible player, Westbrook isn't. When he doesn't have David West to run pick and pops with, Roy to throw the ball down low to, Danny to take shots late in the shot clock, or Paul to handle the ball and make simple entry passes that Collison can't make then we'll see just how bad he really is.

No, he isn't.

He had a terrible game but he is not a terrible player.

Of course, I'd be shocked if you did not jump on that opportunity to bash him.

He is a terrible player. I don't know why I'm even wasting my time. One of the worst players in the league just got compared to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. :lol:

No, he wasn't compared to those 2. Reading comprehension. Learn it. Love it. Use it.

Because you're obsessed with him.

I would if he didn't bring the same damn point in every single game thread.

I just want all this hate to end and just revel in this amazing Pacers season. Is it too much to ask?

Paul George is going to get better and better but D West was the best player on the court. the wags who say we have no go to scorer aren't paying attention to how well he's playing now. he's bringing everything he has and is the obvious leader and role model.
