The Pacers managed to expose every weakness that the Rockets team has. Last night was not a game - it was a dissection. They went in and methodically took this team apart. The Pacers are a very impressive team and the rest of the East should be very wary of playing them in the playoffs. Fun team to watch.

There's even an Astros forum on RealGM with a badass moderating crew!

Most fans just call us overrated and blame officiating the entire game. It was amazing that you guys didn't have a single fan complain or talk poorly about the Pacers. You guys are a very deadly team with your ability to shoot and score. Defense just prevailed this time but that won't always be the case. Their are nights where it seems as though you guys just don't miss. I think the Pacers length and athleticism is probably what got ya. It allows our guys to close the gap on open looks and contest shots. But again, thank you for all the praise. I'm not used to that... I swear, all we ever hear is we're overrated and the refs favor us. As if the NBA wants us to be cities like Boston, New York, LA etc. lol!

Oh and someone said they don't know why Hansbrough got buried behind West. Truthfully, West is much much better. Hansbrough is a nice energy guy but he's not the most consistent guy and he'll start throwing up shots at times that he has no business taking. West on the other hand hits anywhere from inside the arc consistently and brings toughness. Like 20 games ago maybe? West had the best mid-range shooting percentage for any player/position in the NBA with over 300 attempts. West is really good, like crazy good. He struggled a bit last season coming back from an ACL tear the previous season but he's a monster this year. He creates his own shot both inside the paint and from mid-range. Everyone will say Paul George is the teams best player this year but I'd argue West is about on par. Watching West stroke jumpers for a big man is a sight to see. Let's just see if he's open from 18 feet out, you expect him it to go in. There are a lot of guards you don't even feel that confident in making it. He's been a nice addition, that's for sure.

Best of luck to you guys the rest of the way! I dislike a number of teams in the NBA but the Rockets aren't one of em. I'll be pulling for you guys, the Thunder and Nuggets out of the West.


ehh pacers suck, they're overrated :lol: jk

i didnt see the first qtr but hibbert must've been on a tear if he had 15pts in the first quarters against ASIK! thats not easy, duncan struggled vs him on sunday's game.
