It's Game #32.

Also, can I call the Miami Heat gamethread? It's the day before my birthday and I'd like to get a head start on celebrating.

Thanks.

And go for it. If you want to use the thread starter, the link is on the gamethread a few games back.

Are you familiar with tradition?

[Nuntius]

Are you familiar with tradition?

Ah, the amazing tradition. That would be awesome

[Jake0890]

Are you familiar with tradition?

The tradition on game threads? Sure, I just really didn't feel like adding it in the past few threads. I'll start doing it again.

[Jake0890]

We should destroy the Wizards without Wall.

[Jake0890]

What was that Stephenson?

[chube]

Ugh, another letdown from our starts to our bench.

[Jake0890]

Really having trouble hitting anything.

[Jake0890]

Wow that shooting was awful.

[Nuntius]

We're leading 58 - 67 at the end of the third.

[Jake0890]

Paul George has a double double already.

[Nuntius]

Good win.

Nice game by Paul and DJ

[Nuntius]

Paul George has a double double already.

29/14/3/2. Certainly looking good

If Paul and DJ can keep this up when Danny comes back, we could be a VERY scary team. Our defense is already off-the-charts stellar. Add that to another upper-echelon scorer coming back...exciting that the Pacers can get on a roll without Danny and with Roy still in the process of righting the ship.

I think we become a solid 2nd seed in the west when Hibbert starts to pick it up offensively and we can go without the dry spells on offense consisting of quick shots. We seemed to content against the Wizards to run up and down the floor and just throw up shots, rather than working it through West and Hibbert, and we're not good enough of a pure shooting team to do that.
