Playing with a lot of heart. I like what I see out of George so far. Think he can be an offensive gem along with defensive. He just needs to keep up his intensity and offensive aggressiveness.

I was sick. And I've missed most of the game. COOL.

Your game thread was missed, Miller.

On the downside to the TV presentation, Dick Stockton. On the upside, Jaime Maggio. Wha-bang!

And they were saying on the halftime show that after either Game 2 or Game 3, Paul George went to Conseco at 3am to put up 1000 practice shots. That's an AWESOME work ethic to have for a rookie.

It was raining for a bit in Conseco.

I like how we are attacking the glass and pushing the ball in transition. It's also nice that Hibbert is being strong down low for maybe the first time all series.

Yeah I would just like to see him finish at the rim more. I know he can.

Is it just me or is Hibbert taking more outside shots recently? Not in a bad way by taking out-of-place long shots, but those spot-up jumpers from about 17-18 feet. He seemed to get out of that habit but seems like he's taken more recently and has knocked down a decent amount of them.

And to make matters worse, there's a Bulls fan in the front row behind the Indiana basket who is wearing sunglasses indoors!

what the hell is going on. Indiana has always had such a great home court advantage. What the hell are so many damn bulls fans doing at this game?

good luck to you guys, your team has played great, and deserves to pick up at least a couple of games.

Part of it is that Chicago is only a couple hours drive from Indy, so there are a lot of Bulls fans who made the trip for a closeout game. And we can't forget about the bandwagoners, who have probably been "diehard Bulls fans" for about a month and a half or so.

Pacers are still trying to get the fanbase back. This playoff series should help.

Somehow we have managed 8 more FT attempts than Bulls (or Rose).

Deng's stiff arm on Tyler would have made any NFL coach happy

Agh! Two (maybe 3) missed calls on one possession. Boozer's almost travel (couldn't tell if he truly lost control), Deng's stiff-arm, and after seeing the replay - Korver didn't get that shot off in time.

Hahahahahaha! Boomer was going nuts after DJ drew that foul.

Nice! The refs took that three away.

I just push my big red button and Boomer will do any jive I tell him. During this TV break, Boomer was doing the hustle while singing Teenage Dream.

did they really take the three away?

chube · Post #19 » by **chube** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 8:56 pm

Yes, they did. I'm surprised since it seemed so far removed from the original shot. Ah well. At least it was right.
