It means somewhere in Amway Center he's telling someone "I like this team" right now.

Q does a better Stan impression than Dwight does. At least we'll have that to fall back on after March 15.

Q: "I've been traded before..."

little bit of an understatement eh? you've been traded to like 20 teams

LOL Paul Kennedy just referred to Dwight as a 6'1'' gorilla!

I'll be optimistic and hope the same thing happens in reverse.

jj played more of the hedo role, ran the PnR with dwight all night, made great decisions with the ball, was getting all over the court and finding the open man..he was damn good with the ball

This is exactly why I want SVG to use the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" method. Our guys played with tons of passion (excluding the 2nd Q), pushed the ball ...better yet played active defense! I really enjoyed the young guys get some burn tonight. The bad side is SVG will hand players their usual starter minutes when they don't deserve(Hedo/JRich). Btw, I was real impressed with Orton play!

Radically awesome!!!

JJ was spectacular. JJ is such a smart basketball player and he has tons of heart. JJ is the best player at moving the ball. Dwight was dominant like he should play like every game.

Big Baby.......instead of getting closer he is getting farther way and taking longer shots.......why???? He even took a 3...........

Liggins needs more seasoning but he is a legit player. Orton on the other hand looks bored with a what am I doing here look. He made a rare appearance into the game and he looked like he rather be taking out the trash. Its obvious he does not have passion for the game. He looks flabby and out of shape. He does'nt work on his body. Liggins cares, just look at how much muscle he has put on since December. Its a shame Orton does'nt care, he is suprisingly quick and mobile.

Pacers fan here. Our guys came out flat (which I kind of expected our heartbreaker against Miami last night), but not to take anything away from your crew.

Just wanted to say your guys played a hella good game. Capitalized on our mistakes, shot the three efficiently, and just disrupted our offense most of the night.

I've always liked the Magic, as my second favorite team. So I really hope you guys somehow keep Dwight. Not a bitter fan at all.

Plus, based on the little bit of this thread I read through, you guys are a classy group. Kudos! I wish I could say the same for other fans of good teams. Anyway, nice game, very impressive especially given you were missing two starters. After my Pacers, I pull for the Magic, so best of luck to you guys.

This. You should be proud of your Pacers. I like how they are developing that team as a whole. You have great young talent in Hibbert and Paul George. Granger is a very nice player and the trade to San Antonio for George Hill was perfect for you guys. It also helps getting a guy of the caliber of David West to sign as well. Your team is certainly going to make some noise in the postseason, best of luck to your squad.

Let's say the team left American Airlines Arena at 11PM, took 20 minutes to get to Miami International Airport, another 10 minutes to fire up the plane, and 1:15 hours to get to Orlando, The Pacers arrived in Orlando at just before 1AM. With the drive to the hotel, etc. the team probably went to sleep just after 1AM. Let's call it 1:30AM.

Every stater played over 30 minutes, and Granger was over 40 minutes.

Plus this game has an early start of 6PM.

The Pacers are now emotionally drained on a three-game slide.

Everything above suggests that Indy will not play with intensity. Orlando must come out strong and get to an early 10 point lead. Then Liggins and Clark can wear down Granger; and Orlando can escape with a home win even in the absence of two starters.

Gosh darnit I like being RIGHT!!!

GO MAGIC!
