What the flip, the majority of the Pacers starters were (-) in production while the majority of the Magic starters were (+) in production.

And we still lost.
Pacers bench beat the heck out of the Magic bench. By the numbers, wish I could have watched the game.

Poor Glen... Wanted him to get that so badly. The guy has done nothing but fought for this team.
I'm heartbroken.

The last play? Yes.

The Jameer ISO before then? No.

What I don't get is why JJ didn't play more earlier in the game... he got most of his minutes in the 4th and OT. Clearly JRich did well enough to get good minutes, but Qrich shouldn't have had any minutes.

Want to know why i blame Stan...because of the things he could control he screwed it all up.....Playing Duhon and Q was a mistake....both got zero points if they both make just one layup or basket we win....but NOOOOOO let's get the "Veterans" out there so their experience can put us over the top....i much rather have Talent than Experience imho.....

The coach decides the play, the play was terrible, who should be blamed for that?

I think the slip screen was by design if all else failed, but why didn't they run the screen with Jameer so that George Hill would end up guarding Davis...

Oh well, Didn't think we'd win anyway, at least we didn't go down like babies

We can't be content with losing, lowering expectations only give management reasons to NOT do anything.

I loved the fight we had in us today, hated the Jameer ISO, and was OK with the Baby shot.

Tough loss.

Really tough.

I hate Duhon as much as the next guy but blame the entire loss on Stan playing him few minutes? Yikes.

Calm down. It's a loss. It happens.

We need an upgrade at PG badly. I'm tired of Jameer, he's never done anything worth noting for us yet this organization blindly sides with him.

Of course it was. You really think the desired last play would be a fall away from Baby? Indiana stuck to our shooters and denied the inbounds. Baby was the only safe pass, thus he received the ball.

Yeah true. Well it threw me off because the play before David sat out...then we called a time out because we couldn't inbound and then he came in. So I was wondering if Stan decided to go for two this time and put it in his hands.

Ahhh what can you do! This loss feels as bad as any I've experienced. I think I would have felt better to just have lost by 20 without the comeback. That's easier to brush off.

What other play would you draw up with 2.2 secs left?

Sigh... disheartening... about to reach my car and leave... btw... the way we played in the last half of the 4th quarter and most of the overtime... that's how we should have played the whole series... ran pick and rolls with Davis and attacked the basket (w/ cuts and drives)... when we do that it opens up other options to score, including 3s.

Let's see if we play that way for the full 48min in Game 5... you never know

btw... Duhon can go kill himself for how he played in the first half... also NBA refs... I hate you guys.

Great effort by our guys though. Go Magic.

What a deflating loss... a win after a comeback like that could have been huge in upsetting at Indiana next game.
