Great thread! Some games we don't even have a thread at all, but this game we have it the day before. Love it.

We need a win on this road trip bad. Hopefully we can steal one here.

Nice thread Gremz, next time I expect some Emilie De Ravin and Yvonne Strahovski, as well as other amazing Australian women that I do not yet know about. Keep us updated on the Australian girls mate. :-p

Seriously though, great thread, its been a while since we had a good one.

Sweeeeet! Thanks Gremz! Awesome thread.

I'm very interested to see Danny Granger on Carmelo Anthony.

Damnn nice thread gremz. Can u sign yourself up for the rest of the games this year? Thanks in advance.

Hopefully Mike returns for this game, its time to win some on the road. We're playing good and healthy ball right now and I can see us taking at least 3 on this trip.

lol how about you suprise us one day and make one? How about the 11th of January? lol

And btw, not to be too negative on here, but 3 wins on this road trip? I know it's possible, as anything is possible and that is why they play the games, but Boston just lost 3 games on their recent road trip. We have 5 road victories all season and play Denver (12-4 at home, 23-12 overall), then the Suns (10-6 home, 19-12 overall), then the Lakers (17-1 at home), then Golden State and then Utah (12-4 on the road). Upsetting any of the Denver, Suns, Lakers or Jazz will be success itself. Warriors game isn't a lock either with our poor team defense. If we allow over a 100 we could be in trouble yet again and they score like crazy. At best though, i see 2 wins. But i can see us just winning a single game out of the next 5.

haha I only told him to sign up for the rest cuz this one is so damn good. But maybe one day I will suprise you and make one randomly.

My prediction on the 5 game road trip:
@ Denver W
@ Phoenix L
@ Lakers L
@ G State W
@ Utah W

^^ lol ik i'm only kidding man, you don't have to do anything that you don't want to.

The Pacers can win anything as long as the game ends in the 3rd quarter. We can't quite seem to complete comebacks or hang on to slim leads come the 2:00 warning in the fourth quarter.

Hopefully the last two games are a sign that we are turning the corner in close games. Jarrett Jack and Danny Granger have been huge for us down the stretch, hopefully they can keep it up.

For anyone interested, Gremz, Grang33r, and myself have a AIM chatroom going on for the game.

AIM me at xGrangeR33x if you want to join in.

Best idea in a long time.

Why the hell is Graham playing over Rush? Seriously. Especially in a non-defensive affair such as this one, someone on the court other than Granger who actually defends might be a plus.

xxSnEaKyPxx · Post #18 » by **xxSnEaKyPxx** » Tue Jan 6, 2009 3:20 am

I don't know man - chats up to 5 people though.

Rush should be playing though. Any day over Graham.

I dont have AIM downloaded on this computer yet. Actually, its halftime. I'll work on it.

Wow, I was watching the Ohio State game and changed it to the Pacers at the half and thought I read it wrong, 74-70?! Must be a fun game to watch, luckily I am Tivoing it to watch it later.
