How did we look? The box score makes it seem like we held our own against one of the better and most athletic teams in the league, just a gross 3rd quarter. Josh Smith had another beastly game (too bad he's not on the trading block after all, eh?)

Another great game from Roy. Paul George didn't play again for whatever reason, nor did Foster although he was finally activated. Playing undermanned without DC and Ty couldn't have helped either despite a solid showing (finally) from Solo.

But how did we look? Pros? Cons? Anything I should add to my hate-list for JOB? And I'm curious about the double-tech on Danny and Joe Johnson. What caused it?

we looked about two years behind the Hawks in rebuilding. maybe three. Granger out played Joe Johnson. Hibbert had his moments. but they could break down our defense whenever they really needed a bucket getting wide open threes and dunks.

Josh Smith killed us.

While it's too soon to make a call on the McRoberts/Hansbrough tandem (especially with Hansbrough in street clothes last night), my suspicion is that we have two nice backup power forwards, but no one who is really suited to start there every night. This is probably a season, though, where the Pacers can afford to let it play out and give both McRoberts and Hansbrough every opportunity to show what they can do.

Agreed about Tyler/Josh. I think this year they get valueable minutes which will make them be solid backups in the years to come once we get our starting PF via FA or a trade or whatever.
