Important game. Last game this season between Pacers and Pistons, let's make it a tie 2-2. Would be very good for the current standings and who knows, what can happen in the future?
Earlier I wrote that Pacers can catch Celtics for the third spot in the East, if not those three stupid home L's... BUT nothing in life is easy, I hope that with every game players get much necessary experience and making playoffs and maybe having a first round home court advantage would be HUGE.
Pacers lately start slow, some changes in the rotations would be appreciated by Nate. We'll see.

Huge game, probably the first high stakes game of the season, let's see how the team and all the players respond. Go Pacers!

I doubt there's any changes. Nate has very rigid rotations. They don't change unless someone can't play or is in foul trouble. Game performance doesn't seem to affect those rotations.

hard to blame starts on lineup when same group has great 3rd quarters.

I think we're the better team, just need to prove it tonight. It seems that Detroit's hot start to the season was just that - a hot start. They're 4-8 in their last 12 games, if I'm not mistaken.

Scott Foster is already making this game unwatchable.

Most of those losses are against very good teams.

Is there a single reason to even watch first quarters anymore? May as well just tune in from the second on.

We would be getting our ass kicked regardless, but the refs have been crazy one sided to start this game.

We're literally playing at 20% of our capabilities. The worst team in the league would be blowing us out right now.

I'm pretty sure I could go to the local YMCA, walk past the basketball courts, find all of the out of shape people in the gym trying to get into better shape, give them a basketball, and they would **** all over the Pacers in the first quarter.

What did these guys eat for breakfast today?

Jeez Bojan. That made me cringe.

I disagree. The only reason Detroit lost those 7 games in a row was because their schedule during that time was absolutely brutal. They only faced playoff teams. In my opinion, Detroit is the 4th best team in the East.

As for tonight's game, we have to do something about Reggie Jackson and Tobias Harris. They are eviscerating us. DC and Thad just cannot stay with them and it's killing us.

Lets agree to disagree. I think the Pacers are better However, they do match up with us pretty well, I'll give you that...

Joseph was wide open at the 3pt line for 5 seconds. Lance was busy ISOing while we had a 5v4 advantage... Stephenson can be a complete dummy sometimes.

I think that both teams are really close but they're just a tiny bit better than us. Their better defense is what puts them ahead of us, in my opinion.

Sabonis won't shoot inside. Drummond in his head.
