Game 28: Pacers @ Hornets 

Post#1 » by Nuntius » Sun Dec 23, 2012 1:30 am

Somewhere along the road I got mixed up with the number of games. I hope that this one is right.

Anyway, we're playing at New Orleans at the moment. We are off to a bad start.

We're down 11 - 18 with 1:17 remaining in the first.

We're down 11 - 18 in the end of the 1st quarter.

Not a good quarter.

We're down 17 - 33 with 5:59 remaining in the 2nd quarter.

That first half is just beyond horrible.

This is ridiculous. I am beyond disgusted right now. Can't even use the "back-to-back" excuse. Hornets are on one too.

Guess we gotta be hoping for a big comeback a la against Cleveland last week.

2 airballs in a row for Stephenson? Take him out.

We probably won't break 30 this half. Disgusting.

No exaggeration, this might be THE worst half of basketball I have ever seen.

There are so many things we're doing wrong right now, you can't diagnose it.

We're down 29 - 46 at the half.

We have a mountain to climb. But it could have been worse. The way we were playing a 25 point deficit wouldn't be out of the question.

So, let's come out motivated and try to snatch it.

That wasn't a particular big comeback. The Cavs were shooting 88% from 3 point land. They were bound to cool off at some point.

But this game is not like that. Everything goes the Hornets' way. The hustle plays, the rolls on the basket. They are one step ahead of us.

It would be much harder to do. But we could do it if we locked up our D and played good offense for a whole half.
