That was a awesome play even though it didn't count. Atlanta looks lost and confused right now. Our defense is getting to them and they're getting very frustrated taking up bad shots in the past 4-5 minutes. Pacers need to capitalize and take it to them.

Really shutting Horford down right now. 4 points.

And Wizop has to be happy finally doing something. 8 pts, and he just threw down a dunk on a fast break.

I appreciate the bench's offensive production so far.

Also, Roy and George have played pretty good so far.

Paul George gave props to the bench right after the game in a on-court interview and in his press conference and it was warranted. Lance went down injured early in the game, and yet he still played more then David West in the first half (West 8min, Lance 9). The bench needed to show up tonight. Sam Young is a force on defense but couldnt make a shot but Gerald Green and DJ Augustin were fantastic tonight. Each time Atlanta made some kind of move on our lead and starting to take back momentum, it seemed one of these two would drain a 3-pt shot.

Id argue tonight was Green's best game as a Pacer.

That's a low bar to jump over, but it probably was. :lol:

while I didn't pick up my season ticket holder option for playoff tickets, they made me an offer I couldn't refuse and I went last night with my neighbor. Pacers sold us two club level corner seats for $39 each. hard to pass up. not sure what I'm supposed to be happy about. Green? if that's it, he has to do more than hit bad shots to make me happy. no doubt he can score when he is on.

lol, forgot the word "Green" in there. Best game as a Pacer and he actually brought something off the bench.
