GDT: Pacers @ Magic 12/14/09

[Miller4ever]

a loss is a loss, but I just peeked in at the Magic board...Howard was terrific, of course, as was Carter...but those posters were cyberhighfiving one another like they'd just beat the Lakers in the finals instead of a 8-13 team missing its best player...it's nice to celebrate a win, but there were derogatory comments about the Pacer players...humility and sportsmanship are evidently not the strong suits of a lot of Magic fans

They just have more traffic, and there was only one idiot taking shots at Tyler who obviously doesn't watch him. I didn't find it to be offensive or unsportsmanlike for the most part.

For those of you who saw the game...was the enormous disparity in foul shots legit?

I apologize for Magic fans. Indiana played a hell of a game, and almost came out of Orlando with a win. I'm really impressed by Hansbrough, actually. I thought there was no way he'd stick in the NBA when he was coming out of school. He looked like a very solid NBA player tonight though.

That was a great game. I was there and it was fun to watch. I can't imagine why you guys have such a crap record, you looked great against us for 40 minutes, and you were missing a top 15 player.

Dunleavy's midrange jumper is like a layup for him I feel.

And I don't think Murphy was intentionally trying to hurt Dwight, I just think Dwight boiled over because its been happening a lot lately.

The Hansborough hate on our board comes from the inordinate amount of Duke fans we have on our bandwagon thanks to Mr. Redick, and the highfiving was probably due to the fact that we snapped a losing streak after being down by 17.

GL till we meet again.

I wish you guys no bad luck...I don't like Vince, but I've really revised my opinion of Howard after watching him in the playoffs last year...before that, I must have caught him in some bad performances, because I always thought he just got by on nothing but athleticism, but he's started to develop a considerably more complete game...

Watching these Pacers has been frustrating this year...we're not ready to compete with the top teams yet, but I think we have promise.

If you get to the finals, please beat the damned Lakers...I detest them almost as much as I used to detest the Bad Boy Pistons (yes, I'm a senior citizen...when I was a kid I used to go to Cincinnati and watch Oscar and Jerry Lucas play. They were my idols. Once I was there sitting by the tunnel and the Warriors had justcome into town, and Wilt had just scored about a million points beating my Royals...I was booing Wilt pretty good when he walked past to the locker room. He just looked up at me, smiled pleasantly, and said "well, you have a nice day too, kid..." lol)

You guys played a very hard game and put alot of effort in it. You guys have had some bad breaks for sure this season. Unfortunately, the Lakers are still the odds on favorite to win again. The playoffs will depend a great deal on how the games are called (IMO). When we are playing our game and hitting our shots we can beat anyone but when it turns into a grind it out game we still have some trouble right now.

Wow you were ordained by the Stilt !!! Good game game.

Watched the replay today. I am incredibly impressed with how fleuntly Dunleavy has stepped back into the team. Murphy looked more aggressive also, a good thing imo.

Was rather dissappointing to see us fade away rather easily in the 4th though. Still good to see us at the least hold our own against a very good Magic team.
