Game 20: Pacers vs Nets 01/31/12, 7:00 EST

[Gremz]

Playing like Geese.

[frizzledizzle]

Awesome play by Granger! He's the man.

[Miller4ever]

Paul George the MVP of this game, although Granger and Hibbert should definitely get credit. Really hope George Hill is okay, because we play in less than 24 hours in Minnesota, and without him, our offense isn't as potent.

What happened?

[Miller4ever]

Sprained ankle. Don't know if that something new for him. If he doesn't go tomorrow, Collison needs to step it up because tonight was kind of bad.

[frizzledizzle]

I actually think Granger not finishing that is more of an insult than running up the score. It's not like he was taking a contested shot with the game already over. He had an easy layup on the steal. Should have dunked it

[glasket]

Damn, hope George Hill is ok,
Lance had 5 assists in 12 mins. Pretty decent

[Miller4ever]

Yeah, besides, that flip to Danny, Stephenson managed a good game.

[glasket]

Do field goal attempts where a player gets fouled (and shoots free throws) count in the FG columns.
Pretty sure if they make the basked they count and if they miss it is not counted as a FG attempt

NBATV said Hill has a chipped ankle or something and is out indefinitely. This sucks if true, but could be a blessing in disguise. Lance will get some run with the first team and show he's clearly better than Collison. Wonder how much time Hill misses and if it will effect his next contract. He's definitely not going anywhere. Bird didn't give up an entire draft for a rental and a player he's wanted for a while.

I'm saying Collison is gone by the deadline.

That's how I always understood it.

[Miller4ever]

Same thing with tip-ins.

No way. Not unless another point guard is coming back that's on par or better. Lance Stephenson will not be taking the starting job from Collison and this team would probably fall to .500 or worse if he's the best point guard on the roster.

We're 14-6 while starting one of the worst point guards in the NBA. If the team fell below .500, only chance that happens is if Hibbert gets hurt, it wouldn't be because of Lance. It's not too hard to fill Collison's role. Dribble out the shot clock and get beat off the dribble or man handled in the post on D.

I'm watching the replay on League Pass.

In this keys to the game, Austin Croshere had...

1. A big game from George Hill
2. Slowing down Deron Williams
3. A big game from David West

To recap...

1. Hill suffers a sprained ankle
2. WIlliams goes off for 34 and 7
3. West goes for 6 points on only 4 shot attempts

Haha. Oh well. I still like him better than Quinn Buckner.

[Pacersike]

I love Quinn Buckner

I love those retro jerseys

But why is God punishing the wrong PG ?
