Well they allowed 30 points in the 3rd but at least managed to score more than 15 points themselves to keep the big halftime lead from completely evaporating.

I gotta give the Hawks credit, when the Pacers came close in this game the Hawks have just made a short rally of their own to get back to double digits, let's keep that up

I love Smith but he's a terrible PG.

Josh posts up Paul George. half these small forwards are just that. Small. They're pansys, just cant hang. We got a special one in Josh Smith.

Now if only we had found Smith vs Iguodala in the post.
Really like that 1-2 Pick at the top of the key, that sets that up.
gets Joe vs a small guard. Teague vs a slower guy

Hibbert has imploded, good to see the guys get some revenge for Al on him.

Congrats on the win. Wanted the Pacers to get this one but you can't win them all.

Also, Hibbert didn't do anything wrong went Horford got hurt. - In response to the last poster.

Might see you guys in the playoffs. Good luck with the rest of your season.

Never implied that what he did was malicious but Al did go down in a play by him. Between that and the blowout I'm sure the team wanted to gain some measure of respect back.

Josh did nothing different. All Credit to Larry Drew for pulling his head out of his azz and drawing up some new plays rather than run Joe off of 10 screens or hit Marvin off a curl.

Smith just ran the plays LD called up. They just happened to be good ones.

Teague setting the screen at top of the key anyone?

Gotchya. I thought you meant it as Hibbert was malicious and it was a dirty play.

But yeah... we'll see you guys once more this season. Should be another good game. Hopefully Hinrich doesn't make everything he shoots. His shooting was flat out dirty tonight

We didn't win because of Drew's "new play calling" we won cause our shots were falling, Hinrich was draining everything, and Josh got a few big 3's and jump shots; it was pretty much the same gameplan as always only today our shots fell.

I don't feel any better after this win. Kirk had his best offensive game of the season. Josh made 2 3's. This is a fool's gold win for a fool's gold organization.

Drew called atypical plays, outside of the typical offense. Never seen Jeff Teague set so many screens. and it worked we got positive switches and broke down defenses early in the clock.
