Pacers vs. Hawks

[notque]

So far so good, nice ball movement, lots of assists.

Granger with 17 in the first half, that's what we want. He needs to attack from start to finish. He still plays like a second banana sometimes, and we need him to be our star.

I love the 23-14 rebounding advantage.

I think Danny really needs to work on his ball handling, sometimes he just can't control the ball...but he has been great tonight, shooting well, driving to the hoop consistently, being aggresive on both ends of the court, those two blocks were sick!!!

But I'm enjoying the game tonight, we are playing very well, the defense on Joe Johnson in the 2nd quarter was really good. In the 1st quarter looked like he'd score 50 points on us...

We are using a lot Rasho in the low post since Al Horford went to the lockerroon, sometimes he misses it, but I think it's working well.

I love Rasho.

The reverse throwdown by Murphy was funny. Never seen that from him.

[APerna]

We needed that.

[notque]

True, we started to lose the lead, but Granger and Rasho carried things.

Rasho, the Sabonis of Slovenia!!!

It's amazing how he passes the ball!!! Great passer, always make good decisions, put a teamate in great position to score.

I Love Rasho. Love, love and love!!!

Danny was brilliant tonight!! In the offense, shooting the ball very well, going to the hoop, making good decisions (especially in the 2nd half when he made just 1 TO). And at defense he was very good, too, blocking shots, grabbing some rebounds.

I hate Murphy, but tonight I loved his hustle at boards, he was very important.

I think some people will disagree with me but I really like Jack. He plays with hustle and energy, is fast, can hit some threes. He make some mistakes, but it's normal, that's why he's our backup, and in my opinion one of the best PG backups of the league.

Good win tonight. The Pacers are putting it together. I think you guys could make a decent run.

Don't underestimate Jack.

Murphy is trash, except when he plays good.

[Pacersike]

Playing the hawks without Smith and Horford helps too... I don't think Al has missed more than a few games since the start of last season and suddenly both him and Smith are out.

I've gotta love Rasho though!

[Rasho Brezec]

I didn't watch the game, but why didn't Rasho play more? His +/- was +19. And I've watched a few Pacers games this year and I think he could be more involved on offense. He and TJ have great chemistry, they should run more pick and rolls. I don't think I've ever seen him miss a midrange shot.

I wrote this after the Sixers game. Thank you, Rasho, for making me look smart.

If anything the box score down plays how great Rasho was. That running 7 foot shot is AWESOME. If he can hit that consistently, no one can block that.
