Yea, he wants DC to play like a SG. That is misuing him terribly.

I don't know, but I doubt Holiday could guard him either.

Brandon Rushell with the block.

Dont know what JOB was thinking calling that 3 pointer for Tyler. He probably knocks the 3 down in practice but a game situation with only 1 second to shoot.. Not exactly a shot Hansbrough is used to shooting. It also seemed to screw with his shot the next few attempts.

Rush had a nice block. Finally someone helped Tyler after he helped someone else.

1950's Mike Dunleavy?

writerman · Post #17 » by **writerman** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 2:09 am

Even if we manage to win tonight, I'm sick to death of Obie ball...I'm worried that he has already done
serious damage to Hibbert, mentally screwing up a guy who could have been a top big in this league

Pessimism reigns in my mind right now--it's obvious to everyone--except Bird, seemingly--that Obie has to go. But instead he'll probably trade away our young players for a six pack of skunky beer and some stale chips...

DC showing why he should run the offense.

Foster hits both free throws. Nice

DC showin off the bunnies.

Good game Indy. A quick view from Philly.

Collinson was nothing short of spectacular. He broke down Holiday bad, tore through the help and generally looked unstoppable. Granger's points were very quiet in comparison,I was shocked he had as much as he had, and conversely Collinson only had what he got.

Hibbert played too passive, last match up he was a different player.

Foster might have become the most booed player (other than Kobe) I have seen this season, and almost no one was there.

Other than that, I didn't even notice George's court time and wasn't very impressed with Hansborough.

Still, a very nice win in the race to 8th.

It's games like this that make me excited about the future. Granted, this was against the Sixers who are obviously not a powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination, but still. A win is a win, especially on the road against a team that despite the record and horrendous start, has improved as of late. Not only that, but a huge game because Philly is one of a couple teams that we could likely be fighting with all year long for one of those final two spots in the East playoffs, and with tonight's win, it's a lock that we will win the season series with them (3-0 so far and I assume one more game later on.)

But these are the kinds of performances from the Pacers players that has me excited about the future.
- Collison scored/shot well, 13 assists and even 3 steals
- Danny had a nice all-around game with 27/5/7
- Roy's shooting slump continued but helped out with 8 boards and 2 blocks in just 23 minutes
- Tyler was a rebound short of his second straight double-double
- Paul George made it count while he was in there. Didn't try to do too much. Had 2 points, 1 board and 1 steal in just 3 minutes of run.
- Just 16 3-balls and hit half of them.
- Played a clean game with 51% shooting, great free-throw shooting (most in garbage time but still), and 12 turnovers.
- And that ol' wily veteran in Jeff Foster doing the dirty work and providing a spark when needed.
- And we still got production from the shooting guard position. The more I watch Dunleavy, the more I'm not hating bringing him back next year (obviously, at a much cheaper rate.) It's rare that Duns and Rush both play well on the same night, so having both around might be a luxury, as Rush's off-nights offensively are often offset in part by his wing defense.

And as a bonus - the rotations made slightly more sense tonight. Solomon Jones was in street clothes, Posey never took off his warmups, and Collison tripled Ford's minutes <--- just as he should.
