Game 5: Hawks @ Pacers

No real game thread, so I thought I'd make this.

Pacers don't look bad... the offense actually looks fluent.

Starters vs. starters we're dominating.

Their bench against our bench looks like men vs. boys.

Not good.

For a the money we spent on our bench, you'd figure they'd produce more than this. Our bench last year was better than how we've played this year. Hopefully its just being new.

Wtf Sam young... He just doesn't seem to change though he turns the ball over a ton.

But wow, West looks great.

My game recap...

The Pacers blew it open in the 3rd quarter and blew it in the 4th, similar to a lot of games last year

Sam Young and Gerald Green - Awful
Stephenson - Spurts of promise... Pretty good.
Augustin - meh.
Hansbrough - Wild as always
Hill - Earned his money tonight.
Hibbert and George - Played how you would expect.
David West - MVP
Defense was bad for all quarters besides the 3rd.

And Josh Smith needs to grow up and quit arguing with the refs so often.

This is just bad. We have to play better...

20-3 run by Atlanta to end the game. Pathetic.

The starters did an amazing job all game. We totally killed it in the first and third quarters. It's when the bench came in is when everything started to sink and once Atlanta had the momentum, then our rested offense couldn't even do anything. Under high pressure, our offense was a joke. Zero execution.

You know what point guard would look real good to have right now to be Hill's backup? AJ Price.

ps. What did Hibbert do after he signed that contract? He looks awful out there. He was so careless with that ball late in the 4th that George passed inside to him. It just went right through him. He's just not the same. Not sure what the deal is, but he's looked terrible.

I...

Gross.

I'm going to the game against the T-Wolves on Friday. They better show up for all 48 minutes for a change.
