This one didn't get up in time, sorry fellas.

Anyone find a video of the Aaron Holiday highlights? Missed the whole game. :/

Big win for the Pacers they do it without Victor. Holiday played great!

This was one of the worst basketball game ever... without Dipo we are lottery team... so is there anyone there who thinks that we dont need more talent here... we had luck that Hawks are not playing basketball... I hope they are tanking... better for them...

I was encouraged that players stepped up in Oladipo's absence. It's tough to respond when your lead man goes down early in a game but Bogie showed he's still capable of leading this team in scoring, putting up 22 points on 7 of 12 shooting. If we can get anything remotely close to that on most nights, I feel a lot better about him starting. Turner had a double-double, DC was critical during the third quarter run. Sabonis' scoring output was down, but he was the defacto leader out there. He added 9 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, the kid is a future All-Star.

However, the big story on the nite was rookie Aaron Holiday, this kid looks like a future NBA starter. Short in stature, but man he makes up for it in spades with his length. Did I mention he can shoot, 3 for 4 from three-point range and hitting a really impressive layup in traffic? Oh, and confidence does not seem to be an issue in any way for Holiday.

I know there is a big time difference. Did you perhaps fall asleep before the team woke up and won the game? We also won Friday with little help from Vic.

ps We're in 3rd place.

It doesnt matter that we won... Hawks are awfull team... maybe the worst in NBA... the problem is that we made so many mistakes, we were just bad... we would lost against anybody besides Hawks yesterday...

It doesn't matter they won? So would you feel better if they lost? Sure, the Hawks are terrible, but they still have a team of professionals. And we were on the second nite of a back-to-back without our best player. We didn't play great, 22 turnovers is atrocious but they found a way to win despite that. Does this team need to add more talent? I doubt too many people would argue with that, but all things considered, I'll take this win.

I won't tell you how to feel, but I can guarantee you'd be feeling a lot worse if we would have dropped that one.

You must’ve missed the second half. That’s ok. You missed a lot, but you can make it up later. :dontknow:

Second half was especially bad... so many turnovers... we were lucky that Hawks didnt play... they looked like street team...every other team would beat us easily last night

Who said we don't need more talent? What team wouldn't want more talent? You act like it is growing on a tree out back and the team can just go out and pick it.
