cj miles has been red hot. really hope not having thad doesnt hurt us. west is tough to handle and they have size.

Looks like everyone will be available tonight.

Thaddeus is back in the lineup. Perfect timing.

Yeah he can really be big for us, and if need be Plumlee can lessen his minutes in the case that he's still a bit sore.

I think we can win this if Joe keeps doing dwill's job and distributing and making the important shots, as well as having Lopez get going early and often. He needs to shut down Hibbert and that comes by getting him into foul trouble

must win game. gonna be tuning in for this one

Maybe no PG tonight for Pacers....

big advantage if true

Joe needs to show up and be a factor on the floor. I'm not asking for a 25 pt barrage, but make shots and move the ball.

I'd like to see Markel pick up where he left off last game. Taking and making good looks. Definitely will need a good night from "Bo-yan" as well.

Dog Williams just needs to push the ball and get guys shots. Maybe earn some of the free money he's being given

Not if D-Won't shoots 2-9 or 1-7.

I'm genuinely worried about this game, this is hands down the biggest game of the season. A win and I can believe we make the postseason a loss and the window is all but closed.

Hell sitting here now i'm nervous. I can dream that we make an emphatic statement with this game, because if we win... not only would it be our first 4 win streak, but it would put distance between us and the ones below, give us a tie breaker and show that we can sustain some form of success.

If we lose it shows we can't sustain quality basketball, that we are nothing more than a bottom level team, that we can't produce when needing it most and that our spot in the playoffs are gone.

****, someone give me some hope here

I know I can't tell if I should focus on our recent quality play (that differs from our other quality play, in that it looks sustainable) or do I focus on what the rest of the season has shown me.

I'll expect the worst and hope for the best

I'm pretty much expecting that kind of a shooting night from him.... the only way, if you can call it that, to offset that performance if he drops nearly 20 assists tonight and plays tight defense...

I sure hope Hollins doesn't **** it up.... get the right lineups out there, put CJ in right away if we are struggling at PF...

BTW, this is not a good time to play lazy Brook... keep your hulk game going!

This is exactly the kind of game I expect Joe and Deron to play like utter crap in.

Seriously.

what are the "right lineups" cause honestly people like to complain about this after the fact but never have an anwser for what it should be.

i cant think of one "right lineup" we have to be honest...

closest we have is Dwill/Markel/Joe/Thad/brook. who start and play the most minutes

from there, everyone else has major flaws or is enormous inconsistent.

I hate to say it but I have a bad feeling about tonight.

Pacers are going to be fighting for their lives and I can see Hibbert eager to end Lopez's hot streak. Glad Young is back, but I've actually liked the rebounding and size with Plumlee starting. We might get murdered on the glass and on the inside with Thad and Brook. We need at least one guard to go off..JJ, Bogs or AA. Hill is a good defender and D.Will has been sick so I highly doubt we get much from the PG spot.

We need to hit our threes tonight. I know points in the paint has been our bread and butter, but with Hibbert and West down low, things won't come easy. Hopefully Brook doesn't settle for jumpers. Instead he needs to stay aggressive and try to get Hibbert in foul trouble.
