If the Bulls beat us without Rose AND Noah - then somebody...everybody's - layin' down.

I just do not understand that Atlanta game.

I didn't see it, but wow!

To judge from the Atlanta game, Nazr won't start. The Bulls figure to be either -

Robinson
Rip
Butler
Deng
Gibson

or

Robinson
Rip
Deng
Boozer
Gibson

The latter if Boozer is cleared to play.

Boozer is starting for us, so our starting 5 will look like this:

Robinson
Hamilton
Deng
Boozer
Gibson

I think the you guys will be too good for us! Hopefully it's a great game though.

Indiana is for real.

Good start so far

Not a good ending on the quarter, though.

Just got home to watch the game.

At least we're winning.

Post #11 » by **Nuntius** » Tue Feb 5, 2013 1:51 am

We're leading 90 - 78 with 11 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

Tyler clanking FTs... :roll:

Post #13 » by **Nuntius** » Tue Feb 5, 2013 1:58 am

It's just weird to see Tyler going 0/4 from the line.

Post #14 » by **Jake0890** » Tue Feb 5, 2013 2:03 am

Lance Stephenson huge 3s.

That Roy Hibbert floater made my night. That looked hilarious.

The one thing that pisses me off about these Indiana Pacers commercials (The Blue Collar, Gold Swagger ones) are that it's just assumed that everyone in Indiana is a freaking farmer. Geezus.

Paul **** George. Huge 3

Man take a trip to the bulls thread. Those guys blame refs more than any fanbase I know. Are defense was pretty poor tonight and the tos let them back into the game.

We won the first game of our back-to-back-to-back.

Yeah, I saw that Pacerslive. They're so certain they can beat us in a playoff series.

Damn impressive win....you guys really neutralized Noah & Rose....it was like they weren't even out there
