Off topic, but if any of you are interested, over at the Trades and Transactions board theres a GM a Team game that needs more players. You get to be a GM for a team if your choice.

Thanks for the link, Jake. I'll check it out after the game

We're down 5 at the half. Hope we turn it around in the 2nd half.

Lance Stephenson double-double

We're leading 69 - 68 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Good game by Lance as Jake said.

The Pacers suck against teams that are actually worth a damn.

Not yet.

That said, this loss could be costly.

What is it about giving up big games to unexpected guards? Chalmers, now Blake.

I missed the 1st half against Miami but we sagged off a lot from Blake tonight. We shouldn't have. We didn't do a good job closing out.

I'd like to see us pursue a stretch, quicker 4 for matchups like Earl Clark and Chris Bosh. As productive as West and Hansbrough are, they're bad matchups. Maybe Plumlee can become the guy, who knows, but I'd like to pursue Trey Thompkins or someone like that.

Kobe did not play enough

Rather him doing ISOs defended by Paul than Nash and Howard PnRing defended by Roy.

Prying Mbah a Moute from Milwaukee would solve that problem pretty damn quick.
