Pacers "Big" Lineup Defeats Hawks

[boomershadow]

I know the lineup was mostly chosen due to some wear and tear on CJ Miles back, but I think defensively we look so much better using the big lineup. In our losses recently, the defense has been a huge factor. I know PG made some comments after the game about the team being more comfortable with two bigs out there. Any thoughts?

The other thing that the Allen/Mahinmi combo gives is a legit offensive rebounding threat. Teams have to work harder at the interior positions on every possession to keep the big boys off the glass.
