The Tradition

Let's carry on with the offensive prowess tonight, I'd rather see us score over 100 points than win in this game, although if we don't win I am still going to be annoyed

are we better off 1st or 2nd? we've been worried about Miami all year but I'm not excited about playing Chicago in the second round. we could be better off with the Raptors in 3rd. I suppose the best of all worlds though would be to beat Miami and hold onto 1st and beat the Raps and knock them down to 4th or 5th.

Raps fan here. Lowry and Amir are confirmed to be out.

I hope they get well quickly. Injuries suck.

Premature, but a Raptors vs Pacers series would be amazing. Both teams play each other well.

Yeah, that series would be quite competitive.

Maybe amazing for you guys. That's gotta be the second worst matchup for us only behind the Bulls.

I know u Pacers are not playing well recently, but give your team more credit than that. You guys are deadly at home.

Well, we tried. This was much better than the Washington and the Cleveland games. We are slowly starting to remember our identity. Our execution failed us in the 4th tonight but I saw some good signs throughout the game.

PS: Credit Toronto as well. They played a very good game. They're a tough team.

Raptor fan here. You guys played well. Vazquez and Ross bailed us out with some crazy shots at the end. GG! Still hope you guys take out the heat in the ECF

Well at least Miami might lose...

Pacers> miami

Im wondering guys, are you guys as frustrated with Hibbert as I am? The guy is supposed to be an allstar but plays no where near one, wants touches, can't finish, overall just mediocre. It makes me mad this guys supposed to be an allstar

oh yeah I'm defiantly right there with yea. Hibberts soft only thing he's actually good at is going up vertical.

An most big men Roy goes up against just destroy him most of the time

Thank you for your insight and the kind comments. We appreciate polite posts like that

I'm not frustrated at all with him. He is right to want touches. When he gets touches he almost always produces and the team wins. It's important for our team to remember our inside-out identity and I appreciate the fact that Roy called them out for being too perimeter-oriented.

That said, he was bad tonight. Val outplayed him.

Good game tonight you guys are beginning to get it back together it seems, just couldn't pull through in the 4th.

Hopefully we'll see you in the second round Good luck rest of the season guys.

Pacers Raptors series would be amazing. Is it just me or did George Hill look invisible out there. Didnt see any type of impact from him. You guys would be better then Miami with Lowry at the point I feel.
