Game Thread 02/27: Pacers vs. Mavs

Post #1 » by **boomershadow** » Wed Feb 27, 2019 11:32 am

The Pacers have one matchup remaining on their three-game road swing, a meeting with rookie phenom Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks (26-34).

Wednesday night's matchup offers a chance for the Pacers (40-21) to close their trip with a 2-1 mark, while also improving to 3-1 since the All-Star break.

Indiana's only loss came on Monday night when they ran up against a Pistons team that was dialed in from distance. During the 113-109 defeat, Detroit drilled 18 3-pointers, including five from forward Blake Griffin, who finished the night with a triple-double.

tied at 53 making it first to 100. could be a lot worse with Sabonis and Evans both out and Turner and KOQ fouling early.

Leaf doing good job inside. he's just not the stretch 4 we thought he was going to be but he can play 5 when the tempo is fast.

Who could he be referring to?

Anyway pretty stupid for a coach to wake up this kid when considering how lethal he can be.

Not taking care of games verses the Pistons and Mavs could really affect our place in the standings come playoff time. There are tougher games on the way

Domas got injured at the maybe the worst possible time. Tonight is another winnable game, but we're going to be DOA if the starters don't play well again and KAT tends to kill Myles.
