Another tough opponent. Hopefully our guys get the W!

Hopefully we aren't too tired. The starters have played more minutes ever since George Hill has gone out, and Hibbert will have a tough time tonight against that front line.

It's weird how Granger always gets off to a slow start. Hopefully by seasons end he'll be knocking em down all four quarters instead of just the 2nd half.

all things considered we're fortunate to only be down eleven. Hopefully the bench steps up.

Stern is at this game?

Can't Vogel restrict AJ Price from shooting the ball... his inefficiency is reaching epic proportions.

Our team's inefficiency is pretty poor overall. Looking really tired on defense, particularly on transition plays.

He's really bad and shoots way too much.

Unfortunately the whole team is looking bad. Maybe they'll wake up in the 2nd half. :-?

Not enough passing.

Would be nice if every single ball that bounced off the rim didn't fall into the Hawks laps. Been the story of this game.

Paul George misses a wide open 3. West strips the ball it goes out of bounds off him. Teague bailed out with 2 seconds on the shot clock. Things not going Pacers way tonight. Still in it though with plenty of time

That shouldn't have been a 4th foul on Paul George.

And Josh Smith making that 3 is all that needs to be said about this game. He is the worst jump shooter ever and he buries a 3.

Annnnd. It's been a good thing for the Hawks that Teague has been in foul trouble. He's made like two good plays while Hinrich has made like 10.

And Josh Smith makes another 3...

Might be a while before you see two shooters as bad Josh Smith and AJ Price make back to back 3's again.

It's not a Pacers game until there's a scuffle with double technicals.

lol

Our guys play with a chip on their shoulder.

Every time we sneak in closer, they make a barrage of 3's.

Yeah, it's annoying. Upsetting that we're getting beat by a little Iowa guy(Hinrich) that has missed most of the season and a fat old guy(McGrady). Is it just me or does McGrady's appearance look like crap? He still has some moves but he doesn't look to good. Doesn't help Josh Smith is getting star treatment when he isn't one but it is what it is. Winding down to a loss :cry:

Hopefully Vogel will learn to tighten his rotation against better teams, or better yet, find the right combination. Depending on how Frank staggers the minutes of PG and DG, one of them should be on the court at all times.
