Donald Sloan getting playing time in the first quarter when we're only up by 1. That's a little weird.

I'm really liking Ian's play lately. He's bring more energy then hibbert has lately.

It's gonna happen as long as Hill is out.

Ian is playing great lately.

That said, we're not playing very well today so far.

Yeah. It also seems Vogel is resting the starters more in preparation for the playoffs.

That's a good thing. We need to be healthy for the big dance.

Lance is the only one that gets tons of minutes currently. I don't know how I feel about that. He is young and he seems durable but I really hope that this doesn't sap his energy.

Wow, Ian has been great. I wonder if Bynum being signed made him realize he could be replaced when he was playing like a scrub.

Ian is having an awesome game

It sucks because I wasn't home yesterday as missed the Boston game and now today is my first day of Uni so I can't watch this game.

Paul George just took a huge fall on his back. Looks like it's nothing serious, just wind knocked out of him.

I think it is just a function of Hill being out and Roy getting two early fouls. we're a long way from the playoffs and Miami is streaking.

These refs suck.. Lane violations galore.

Every team is going to give it its all against a top team. It's our duty to not underestimate them and play well enough to win.

If we cannot beat them when they play out of their minds then they they are not weak (or we aren't strong).

Edit: And I honestly don't like calling another team weak.

No team in the NBA is a scrub team but their record is bad.

Hope they are ready for the next couple games GSW, Charlotte, Houston and Dallas.

We didn't have a very good game but we were able to get a W. That's what matters.

I have no issue with close games either. We're going to need to have experience in how to close out a game in the playoffs and those games do give us some experience in that area.

Until when is George Hill out? Thanks.

Agreed with Nuntius, as long as it is a W it is good.

Mahinmi beasting again, I really like how he picked up his intensity - that million or so for Bynum has seemingly activated our 4 million a year big man - might have been worth the investment even if we don't see Bynum in a Pacers jersey this year.
