Think we'll have a chance in this one since DMC is out for this game. Roy Hibbert should be able to destroy Reggie Evans.

Did Stuckey get hurt again? I know he has 2 fouls but why so few minutes after he hit a 3 in the first?

Good hustle, but this team can't execute. Scola's easy miss was a microcosm of the game.

That Rudez transition 3 was fantastic. I hope the Pacers just start bombing it up every possession.

RUDEZ AGAIN

If the Pacers embrace a completely non-Pacers style, they can run up the score by jacking up 3s and then defending well. As long as Rudez is feeling his rhythm, anything is possible.

Rudez floater

Rudez alert. A level four Rudez Alert is in effect.

Rudez playing really great right now.

Damn.. That's a tough one to take

Vogel has got to do something about his horrible inbound plays

Eh, they're hit or miss, but he hits on a good amount of 'em. I recall a couple of 'em getting some serious props from the beat writers on twitter last night, too.

That loss really sucks. Could've won that one.

Frank's inbound play at the end of regulation was amazing. Stuckey had a lay-up but Solo overthrew the pass.

I agree that this was a tough game to lose. We were right in this one and we would have won if we weren't so unlucky in some instances (Jason Thompson's crazy tip-in comes to mind).

Still, I'm extremely proud of their effort tonight. Sacramento is a really good team that will probably make the playoffs when DMC returns.

On a night when DeMarcus Cousins doesn't play you have to win if your claim is to be any good at all. West and Hibbert should have dominated this game. Instead they shot a collective 10 for 27.

Sacramento is a good team with or without DMC. We're also more injured than they are. This game was won on a coin flip (Jason Thompson scoring on a tip in after deflecting the ball with the back of his hand).

I think we will have to agree to disagree on the issue of how good the Kings are without DMC. Without him I'd say they have one legit starting caliber NBA player (Gay).

Yep, we will agree to disagree.
