Game Thread 11/17: Pacers vs. Pistons

[boomershadow]

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons enter Friday night’s game coming off entirely different experiences in their last outings.

The Pacers, who have lost a few significant second-half leads this season, almost blew another before holding on to beat host Memphis 116-113 on Wednesday night.

In the meantime, the Pistons trailed by 13 points entering the fourth quarter and came up short in a 99-95 loss at Milwaukee that same night.

Do you think we can build some momentum with a win tonight, or is Detroit just a team with more talent than us this year?

Sabonis questionable? Perfect shooting night incoming, Detroit stands no chances!
Other than that, I'm afraid our frontcourt might be unable to contain Drummond. Maybe Al will have a good night against him.

Here's a list of ALL seasons by a Pacers player with at least 45% from the field, 40% from three, and over 20 ppg:

Ok so these Hickory uni's are not as hideous as the one from last year. But what is with the shiny white shorts?

Great fake by Bojan on the drive.

We started the quarter with some cold shooting but we have been able to get good looks so far. Let's hope we keep this up.

It looked like Bojan could have dunked that too pretty effortlessly.

I'm glad he didn't try it, though

Yes.

But also, we just really are not a good team.

Myles Turner has turned into our 5th option with the starters.

Nate McMillan should not allow this.

I'd say we're a good but not great team. not sure how good you have to be to meet your definition.

We are not a playoff team. However, even the 7-8 seeds are usually not very good either.

[Nuntius]

That wasn't a good first half. We're both losing and not playing Sabonis enough. One of the two has to change quickly.
