Game Thread 01/04: Pacers vs. Bulls

The Pacers open up 2019 with hopes of extending their winning streak to six games as they tip off a five-game road trip in Chicago.

The Bulls have looked like a stronger team since the return of Lauri Markkanen, who leads the team with 7.5 rebounds per game. Offensively, Chicago is led by Zach LaVine, who is posting a career-best 23.5 points per game this season.

The Pacers — who have the league's second-ranked defensive rating (102.2) — matchup favorably against the Bulls, owners of the league's worst offensive rating at 100.2 points per 100 possessions.

Why does this team always have such a huge resting time between games?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but every year it seems that way.

It's probably good for us that Justin Holiday got traded.

4 point lead with less than 4 minutes left and I'm still not feeling confident.

Baby Sabonis is so nasty.

Dipo's passes and defense is elite tonight.
