This could be a ugly one

Oh vogal
Dudley is starting.

I’m not sure I can watch Dudley run around all game.


Alright Dudley.
This is your game. Let’s see if you can give solid mins.

Looks like Kuz will play. Hopefully he can shake the rust off quickly

Vs a sabonis/tuner frontline, with AD out, I might think about some McGee/Howard lineups just to try

Dudley can’t check sabonis

We're getting anything we want off the ball movement. Davis is great but when he's in there we don't see this much ball movement.

I love me some Danny Green but his cold shooting slump has been KCP esque. Don't get me wrong, he's still very valuable do to his consistency and size on defense, and also because he doesn't make bad decisions and he's proven he can make them when they count, but we need him to find his touch to beat a good team like this on the road without AD, and more importantly, tomorrow against the Bucks, with or without AD.

My only concern: What happens when LeBron goes to the bench? Could get ugly fast.

No one can get their own shot out there. This group needs to run to get quality shots.

Pacers have a funny team

They have two holladay brothers
McConnell and McDermit
And 3 guys named TJ

Yep. This game more than ever we need good Rondo. He's the only other playmaker this team has on the roster without AD and Kuz.

Gotta get Bradley off the court, man. He's just lost on the offensive end of the floor.
