Must win? Pacers have a lot to prove after the trainwreck of game 3.

well, not looking good so far.

Not good so far. The Hawks went on a big end of first - start of second run once more.

I can't watch since I don't have NBA TV, but seriously...what the hell is wrong with us playing in Philips Arena? Get your freakin' act together!

Is it wrong to be legitimately worried about this series if we lose this game? We have a tendency to drop the ball during the occasional home game and I'm not convinced we can make that up playing a Game 6 in Atlanta.

We're down 40 - 57 at the half. That's not good at all

Oh, it's definitely worrying. I have zero confidence that we can win a game in Atlanta.

It could be a slippery slope from here.

This would be one of the most disappointing seasons for a team this year. Up there with LA and Boston.

Good 3rd quarter led by our D.

Let's hope that it continues.

Looks like hawks in six. I switched to vikings at half and came back to closer game but too little too late.

Well, we tried

It's a new series now.

I am beyond frustrated with this team right now. However, because I don't have NBA TV, I don't know the details of what happened. So somebody give me a complete rundown. What was the problem? Sloppy play, standing around, bad calls, turnovers, offensive lulls, bad defense, what?

not sure it matters but here in Central Indiana the game was blacked out on NBATV and shown on Fox Sports IN with the Pacer broadcasters. Wednesday's game should be the same.

once again we dug a hole in the first half by giving up a huge run. we got close in the second half but timely 3's and run outs killed us.

The first half (especially the second quarter) was similar to game 3. Bad offense coupled with below par defense for our standards.

The second half (especially the third quarter) was better. The defense improved, we got some fast break points and we tried to get over the hump. We didn't make it, though.

It really was like there was a point barrier we just couldn't get past. We'd bring the game within 6, Korver would hit a 3 or Horford takes advantage of our interior D or we give up an O-Rebound. Then we'd bring the game within 6 again, and it'd start all over again...
