The prodigal son returns home! Looking forward to this one, even though we’re probably going to lose lol.
Pacers have won 9 of their last 11 and the Spurs are have lost 6 of their last 7. I’m here for it either way. GSG.

This football juggling thing looks so easy, but I could never learn it... I was just terrible at sports in general, in highschool, I was a goalkeeper, just because I had no on pitch skills

Let's go; Pacers, Magic Bucks, Hawks, OKC, Kings, Bulls, Clippers.
What are the drinking games for Lakers/Celtics ?

1) amount of times Bron complains?
2) amount of made 3's by the Celtics?

Need a few drinks today and what a better way to celebrate then classic rival game

Goodluck all.

This is some hype intro music for the Spurs. How the hell did they not announce Wemby last though

With Wemby already shooting a lot of threes, would you guys ever get another BIG along side of Wemby and push him to the 4 spot having twin towers again?

Spurs undersized in this matchup as usual. Their lineup is so much bigger/longer than ours. One of the main reasons we're such a poor defensive team right now outside of Wemby and Castle.

Wemby showed his ridiculous versatility on those back-to-back plays. Locks down a perimeter defender and forces the turnover, and then led the fast break and finishes it with a lob to Castle for the easy finish.

Yep, double big is still viable, just look at the Cavs. Okc is probably going to try to make it work as well. As long as the offense is viable they're shouldn't be any problems.

I'm glad the Victor actually attempts heaves at the end of quarters instead of worrying about his % like the vast majority of star players do

Pacers doubling Wemby on every post possession now. Guys need to cut to the basket when they do that.

Yikes. In Denver on the second night of a back to back. I'll be thrilled if we can put up a fight, and if we somehow win, I'm throwing a party.
