Interesting. I wouldn't have minded Thad to the 3 and Sabonis starting.

Bojan is out according to reports and Nate said that he wants Lance and CoJo to return to their normal roles. I don't know if Thad at SF would work this game. Valentine can hit 3s.

Good start so far. Myles looks a lot more comfortable now that Dipo is back.

It's really strange to see us with an all-bench unit that is working well.

Sabonis adds that spin to the right. Nice to see.

Just came to post about the rotation today, too. Liking it.

Sabonis just scored off his right hand and we're moving the ball and hitting deep shots.

What a nice move by Joe Young.

This game is going really, really well for us so far.

Dipo was mad at himself for missing that layup so he just came back and forced the Bulls to turn it over :D

Joe has been very solid of late.

Really active defence from Victor, perhaps an aspect of his game I've underrated a tad because he's been such a good scorer.

Vic has been simply unreal tonight. Our whole team has been great. That 2nd quarter was magic.

What a butt whipping! I just got home from the shooting range so I missed most of the game.

I managed to catch about half of it. Very welcome to see after all the BS we've seen lately.

Joe Young looks like he deserves his roster spot.

Lance stealing up these rebounds from other Pacers in the end of the game is kind of annoying me.

Hibbert used to complain about that, but Lance is "Jumping" for the rebound, the other guys need to put in some freaking effort.
