TEAM MASCOT:


KEYS TO VICTORY:
CLIPPERS - Need to come out gunning.

PACERS - Don't f*ck up and you'll win.

lol, nice pic at the end.

Hibbert vs Blake should be interesting, Blake's on a quest to posterize an opposing big on every team in the league, and has been very successful thus far; I hope he can continue the streak against a very improved hibbert.

Thanks for hooking it up Illustrate.

LOL I love the Pacers' key to victory. The wins are frustrating and demoralizing, but I would rather us be losing with our young players than losing with the vets in. I haven't liked the end results, but I am inspired by the continual growth and maturation of Gordon, Griffin, Bledsoe & Aminu.

I'm definitely encouraged by the youth. EJ has taken the bull by the horns and is doing all he can to will this team. He's also become more vocal, as exhibited yesterday after Blake dunked on Tolliver. Aminu has improved each game and what's surprising is he's our best 3pt shooter. He's gradually making everyone forget about Paul George or any other SF prospects we "should've" drafted. Bledsoe still needs to workout on that AST/TO ratio, but he's proven he can play PG and I see a bit of Westbrook in him. And Blake is Blake, a beast, although he needs to start showing up after halftime. I'd like to see him drop 30 with balanced scoring in each half in the near future.

I'm really hoping this team can have a 2nd half run like OKC did a couple season ago after they started out 3-29.

I did like George and was kind of torn leading up to the draft. I did believe that Aminu was the right pick at the time, but that he would likely have a slower start than some of the others. The early struggles were discouraging, but I like what he has done since then. He's a hard worker and has shown a lot of improvement in only a few months' time. He has the physical tools, just needs to keep developing the skill side of things.

I think the best thing about Bledsoe getting this experience to lead the team is that it forces him to learn the point position. I didn't want us to rely on Foye putting much time in at the point. Now, I don't really think that is an issue. If Baron would ever get his act together and play with some heart, we would be more than set at the 1.

You guys are welcome to swing by.

Thanks Miller4ever.

Oh damn. EJ with a sick dunk.

That pick you traded for Bledsoe, is it for this upcoming draft and does it have any protection?

25-22 Clippers after 1. Hometown boy EJ leads all with 11. He'd have more if he converted his free-throws. He's 4 of 7. Getting to the line is what has given us the lead. We have 11 attempts to their 3. The team as a whole has been struggling from the field, but thankfully Indiana has only been slightly better so far.

Top-10 protected between 2012-2015, unprotected in 2016. We have Minnesota's pick in 2012. If that pick and our own 2012 pick are both outside of the top 10, then Oklahoma City gets the lesser pick.

That was a steal for Bledsoe then.

Definitely. For what we gave away, we make up with the Minny pick.

Another terrible finish to a quarter.

DJ is sooo bad. I dont understand how he gets so many shots? Give those to Blake!

53-43 Pacers at the half. Totally came unglued in the last couple of minutes. A 4 point game quickly became a 10 point game. Hibbert has been a beast for Indiana and leads all with 16. DJ has looked terrible the entire game. He's 0 for 7 and once again camping out in the lane for 3 second calls.

Griffin stepped on McRoberts foot and is favoring his ankle. He's going to play through it.

Ack just got home to flip on the game and we are down 20 points :/

again....embarrassing

I feel for you guys...no Kaman...was looking forward to his matchup with Big Roy...

lot of young talent there, though...

I didn't think the last few years can get any worse. I was wrong!
