GO PACERS!

I wish they would stop putting the Pacers playoff games on NBATV. Nobody gets the channel so I've missed games 2-4 and will not be able to see tonight's game. And no, I will not call my local service provider to get the channel added. The more channels they add, the more my bill goes up. NFL Network almost didn't work and the NFL is much more loyal to their fans than the NBA is.

I just moved to Louisville... it's a huge college sports area but apparently they don't like professional sports much.

Sounds a lot like Indy.

There are some sites that you can watch the game on, though. Maybe not HD quality, but at least you can watch it.

For obvious reasons, can't link it, but maybe you should Google firstrowsports.

Agreed!

The Pacers need to capitalize on Cinc. & Louisv., they seem to have a decent following in St. Louis, where we get the Blues and Cardinals broadcast, they get the Pacers (coutesy of FSMW).

Indy doesn't get credit for that market Scoot.

We need to play aggresive defense, and quit being so passive. Regardless, of the result, the only thing we're elite at is defense.

If we're to have any success in the playoffs, it will be because of our defense.

I think Lance is a good rotation on Teague. Hill simply cannot stop him.

Good run. Offense looking good and we're stifling Teague and Smith.

I didn't post here tonight out of fear that I would jinx it xD

Great win, though

once again that channel was blacked out in Indiana and Fox Sports had the game. be sure to check in the future. you can't just assume because nationally they promote it as an NBATV game that it will be that here too.

Olé

So far the away team has never been anywhere close to a road win. If we can make it close in the next game, we will have a major free throw shooting advantage.

I'm not in Indiana anymore, I'm in Louisville, KY. We don't get FSNMW here, we get FSN Ohio. They weren't carrying the games.
