Pacers encourage slumping Oladipo to shoot vs. Hawks

Entering Friday's contest with visiting Atlanta, Oladipo has been struggling recently. Oladipo, who averages 23.8 points, has scored only 27 points on 11-of-38 shooting in the past two games.

The Hawks (20-45) have lost six of the past eight games, but defeated visiting Indiana 107-102 on Feb. 28.

"It's a game we got to take personally," Turner told Fox Sports Indiana. "We're at home. We just got beat by 20 at our crib, that can't happen. We got to take that frustration into this game."

Pacers forward Trevor Booker made his debut with Indiana on Wednesday night.
"If you look at Atlanta, they are at the bottom, but you have to overlook that because they've been actually playing well lately," Booker told Fox Sports Indiana. "They've been moving the ball well and they beat us last time we played them. So we're going to be coming out and trying to avenge that loss."
The Hawks lost 106-90 at Toronto on Tuesday night.

Yes, Indiana should be pissed, and take out frustrations on the Hawks.

No need to be concerned about this one... next game.

Easy win - - - - Pacers !!

Pacers taking out all their anger tonight, I don't mind it at all. Take that L, and then let's sleepwalk into Sunday afternoon's game against the Bulls.

Agreed..hope Bud lets the guys have a fun night at the Indy clubs. I hear it’s a real hoot!

Personally, I always think that the offense is going all right if the Hawks have 50 points on or before half time.
Last night, with 4:29 remaining in the 3rd quarter, Hawks scored their 50th point.

With Indiana well over the 50 before half time, everyone should have figured out that the game was over.
Our tank is back on track.. Some of those fighting for last place are playing each other.

Still hoping for a good player or three out of the draft. We need all the help that we can get. Perhaps
there is a free agent or two - who knows.

Ah well. On to the end of all this crappy season and hopes for a better season ahead.

We played them close for 3 quarters but we did it in reverse order.

Why are all our Sunday games so early in the day? That's a recent change, right?

The NBA's way of letting us just get it over with, especially in games against terrible teams.

I'm legitimately over these Sunday afternoon games, especially when it forces me to miss out on watching GSU in the Sun Belt final and keeps me from going to United's home opener.

Hoping the Bulls came to play today. We could really use a loss. One of the three most important games to end the season.

Dennis has a sore elbow, so we'll see what happens with him.
