Game Thread:Pacers v. Bucks (Lombardi trophy at the BC)

Post #1 » by **paulpressey25** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 6:02 am

Indiana Pacers (23-28)

v

Milwaukee Bucks (20-32)

Gametime: 7:30pm CST

TV: FSN Wisconsin
Radio: 620 WTMJ

Pacers have won six of their last seven since Jim O'Brien was fired and are making a claim for that 8th seed.

Bucks have the Lombardi Trophy and Charles Woodson as special guests.

This may be the most pivotal tank game of the season. The Bucks are home. The Superbowl celebration will jack up the crowd. We seem to have Indy's number from the earlier games.

If Indy wins, it would signal that they aren't going to give up the eighth seed. That might be the final nail in the coffin for 2011 as it seems for the past month the Bucks still thought they might be a lock for that last playoff berth, despite how bad they were playing.

Go Pacers!

Indiana are genuinely better then us. It's at home so could throw a spanner in the works but we suck so a loss is on the cards.

It's amazing how quick you can become an annoying little f***

My apologies, I'm in a cynical dick mode tonight. It's my time of the month.

Better wash and disinfect the Lombardi if any of the Bucks touch it.

Tough one to lose. Hibbert doesn't like facing Bogut or Ersan. We need Skiles to go with Little John as much as possible.

This is a huge game to lose. It will effectively kill any interest left in the Bucks, and I'm sure Kohl will be there to witness it too.

I wouldn't show my face. "See that everyone, they're mine"

I have to go to this game.

At least there will be a Super Bowl celebration.

Tempted to go to this game just to see Chuck and The Lombardi, and get drunk with the crew a Scooter's beforehand.

Is there still time to trade Bogut and Salmons to the Pacers for Paul George and some expiring contracts before the game?

I'm still heartbroken that George didn't fall to us on draft night.

NO PG IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!! He will be stud in a matter of time and is the 2nd best wing already and is still so raw

He is pretty much untouchable we would riot if he was traded :lol:

so, since there's no atl thread from last night.

17 and 14 assists against the clippers is pretty good. don't you think?

Can you imagine the wailing around here if we were Clippers fans? "The real problem here is a lack of talent." "A superstar player doesn't let his team lose to the worst team in the history of the NBA."

They were missing Eric Gordon who is better than anyone on the Bucks roster. Plus the Cavs got healther
