GDT: Game 46, Lakers @ Pacers

[Grang33r]

^^Yeah, i agree. Very frustrating. A lot of poor shots. They come down the court and first person to catch the ball beyond the arc shoots it. Kinda annoying. And this team has no defense. They have Granger who is a very good defender. They drafted Hansbrough and Rush because of their defense. And they signed Jones for his defense. We have a good defensive team i think, the coaching really stinks.

And not having an inside presence hurts big time. Hibbert is a nice center. They need a true power forward who can bang the boards, who can attack the basket.

Just got back. Apparently it was like the Lakers were the Colts and the Pacers were the Jets.

No matter, we'll just beat Lebron and the Cavs.

Looks like Rush had a rough shooting night, but he was rebounding, with another double-double. Tough for him to have to score against Kobe and Artest. Granger was in foul trouble the whole time, huh?

Luther Head should not be taking minutes from Dahntay and Rush. I don't care how well he sometimes shoots.

Hibbert should've started. First, he might've not let Bynum get on a roll. Sometimes coming out and being bothersome can hamper a player's morale right away, unlike whatever Murphy was doing to defend him.

I really hope Hansbrough comes back soon, so we can stop this small ball nonsense. When I submitted a question to Reggie's Mailbag, he said "Big always wins" and he could've been talking about his manliness, but I'm going to go with the fact that he knows what it takes to win. And we need our post presence to actually have presence.

Unfortunately, even though it only sounds like a boo-boo, inner ear troubles can be seriously debilitating.

Hibbert looked pretty darn good. I also liked what I saw from Rush, even if he didn't shoot the ball particularly well. For a team that relies and shoots a lot of threes, we sure were terrible today.

What a fantastic effort by the Pacers!!! If we keep this up for the next few months we will be well on our way to rebuilding the franchise to respectability. We just need 4 more months of games just like this one! Go Pacers!!!!

I stopped watching due to the constant heaving of 3 pointers. I can't stand watching bad basketball.

Don't they see the Free Throw disparity out there? When you're getting doubled up on FT attempts you're not going to win. Learn to take it to the hole Indiana! We need Maggette.

Rush tried to take it inside. It's just that he couldn't make a layup to save his life and stopped trying.

[Reginald Wayne]

Yeah, he had one drive where he went up for a lay in but he bobbled the ball on his way up. He tried to recover but ended up hitting bottom rim, haha. We need Granger to hit the weight room for 15 pounds of buff so he can start holding on to the ball when he drives in.

[Grang33r]

lol yeah but i recall another play he messed up a lay up too. I don't think our chances of landing John Wall are high. And i do think Evan Turner goes 2nd. But, from there it's open game and there is a lot of players projected from 3 to 10 who could be powerful power forwards in this league. The Pacers need someone like that.
