Told you guys you'd love having Matthews on your team...

I am always surprised at how few a number of people post in the game threads. Seems if it is not about trading away one of our players, it just isn't interesting?

Anyway, hats off to the guys for a well deserved win.

Evenings are awful busy for me, at least. I think we've got some young guys posting on this forum nowadays, and as such, I assume that a lot of them work the "millenial schedule"...as in...work every hour I can and take every shift I can to pay for schooling, so nights are pretty busy :lol:

I think many of us watch or go to the games. others like Vorda are hours ahead of Indy. I'm surprised by how long game threads get in some big market forums. guys seem to post every possession. I'm happy we have such a high signal to noise ratio.

Great comeback for you guys! Rooting for you to do well, great to see Turner and Domas progress so much.

Really fun game. Fun to watch these guys compete against “more talented” teams.

Big win! We need this Domantas in next few games... we need 2 wins on the road... maybe in Denver and L.A...

I was driving between Indianapolis and Ft Wayne.

I work really early in the morning and only been staying up late to watch the games when I have the energy. I seem to always catch more losses than wins, but I'm super glad to hear about the comeback.

Anyone notice that the Pacers were purposely making "the 2 way player" PG defend in the P&R down the stretch. I don't have any ill will towards the guy. I mean he landed us Vic and Sabonis when he could have left the team high and dry. But, it did make it that much sweeter to win and they were purposely going at him.

And we should all send him a Thank You note for the two late game turnovers. Not to mention the three-four times he slipped and fell during the last couple of minutes. Can you say "Not Clutch"? Of course you can!

I usually am texting friends during the Pacers game. Would love to see more activity on here though. I log in during games at times, only to find that nobody is talking.

I struggle to chat during games. Would love to hear more pre-game and post-game banter.

Just to add a bit of insult to injury for OKC:

"The Oklahoma City Thunder have become the last team in the NBA to secure an advertisement on their jerseys, securing a deal with Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores."

I guess Barney's Beanery wasn't interested?

Seriously, I have no idea who that company they contracted with for jersey patches is. I just thought the name was funny. Sort of like being a step down from being sponsored by Cracker Barrel or something. (That should not be read as an insult to Cracker Barrel by the way.)
