I'm just excited to see George Hill again. I saw him play once with Indiana but he hasn't made his mark there yet. Looking lost and didn't contribute much. But it looks like he's been playing well lately so I wanna see him. I hope the pacers lose and Hill has a monster game.

I bet he's gonna get a huge ovation. I know I'll clapping at the TV when he enters the game.

Wish Hill the best but i hope he sucks tonight.

Really excited about the Leonard/George battle.

First of all, congratulations for your win.

I didn't appreciate some of the calls that Duncan and Manu received (or the Blair FTs when he stepped out of bounds) but I can understand it when great teams with stars get those calls in their home court so I'm not going to blame you for this.

I'll just say thank you for letting us to get back into the game. I'm proud that my team battled

Damn, I miss having George Hill. Anyone knows what's wrong with Diaw? I kept on waiting for him to get off the floor and he never did. I liked the high socks look and for some reason, I like the Chaps Jersey. I want one.

Yeah, love that jersey. I tried to order one off nba.com but they sold out.

Considering that the Pacers' defensive low post strategy seemed to be to "just hack them" in the 1st, half. . .and that when Hibbert (or whoever it was) blasted Blair in his nose with an elbow and forced him into the locker room just to stop the bleeding with no foul even being called, I'm not sure how the calls weren't fair from Indiana's perspective When you put the team who fouls the most with the team that fouls the least together, of course the FTAs are going to look lopsided. That isn't bad officiating, it's just reality. Pacers simply foul too much. The Indiana announcers were even saying that they need to learn how to play D' without fouling like the Spurs do.

I didn't see the Spurs getting any phantom calls, and I'm usually very negative about the officiating.

Thanks for the congratz though. Good luck in the playoffs.

I wasn't talking about the start of the game. I was talking about the 4th quarter mainly but it was already decided by then. As I said I can understand it and I'm not going to blame the loss on the officiating. We'd lose anyway since you're a better team :wink:

But yeah we do foul a lot. However, we get fouled a lot as well. So, it evens out most of the time
