Indiana at Boston 

Post#1 » by Boneman2 » Sat Jan 7, 2012 12:18 am

Indy (4-2)
@
Boston (4-3)

Keys to the game:
*DWest @ Hansbrough need to establish a presence in the post from the opening tip.
*Granger has to shoot atleast 40 %.
*Who will guard Rondo?
*Hibbert represents our biggest advantage, so it will be important to utilize his strengths.

If someone could post some google images of Sara Jean Underwood (pg.3)(pg.10), we'll be straight.

We're better than them. Hopefully we play like it.

Oh no. On League Pass, the only feed is the Boston broadcast which means only source of commentary is Tommy "Aneurysm after every call against Boston" Heinsohn. Time for the headphones.

For the last couple years, the Pacers have been good for one victory against Boston per season. Let's get it! Make it the first of four!

Geez, the shooting is SO bad right now. Nobody's confident. Except maybe George.

Why does PG get taken out so early, yet Collison, who has been awful, plays the entire first quarter? Seems like it happens every game.

Our offense looks stupid, thanks DC.

Maybe so that by the time George comes back in, he checks in at the 2, Collison has been subbed out and Hill is running point? I've only been able to watch a couple games this year, so just a thought.

I don't know how many leak out opportunites we've had where he justs puts his head down and doesn't attempt to pass the ball. I'm yelling, "WAKE UP SCRUB, YOU CAN'T RUN A HALFCOURT SET." My aunt comes and tells me to shut up.

When we drive the lane good things happen.

Buckner made a great point, he basically said nobody should have the ball in their hands longer than two seconds, at that point they should pass it.

I really don't care for the GHill/AJ combo in the backcourt....

That's exactly why our offense stagnates, he doesn't inititate our offense quickly enough. Maybe he likes to ensure the assist and so he tries to make it a-pass and shot situation, instead of hitting the open man early in the shot-clock, where 3-4 passes are possible.

I knew this would be an ugly game, but damn. On pace to finish in the 60's.

futility...

Hi Roy.. where have you been? Maybe the rest of the team would like to acknowledge your existence.

I think Jeff Foster makes our big rotation work. His addition might be just what we need.

What does Darren Collison do to validate the minutes he gets?
