I hadn't watched Ridnour for a couple of years but I remember him to be a solid, point guard with a lot more passing and control than Sessions.

So hopefully we should see more of this.

He's also spoon fed a couple of passes to Biz that should have been easy 2's as well.
Biz seemed so surprised to be passed too that he fumbled it. (I might just be making excuses for Biz)

Just finished the game, and you beat me to it. This was at the top of my notes. You NEVER saw this with Sessions (or Kemba, or Pargo, or...). I actually did a spit take here when I saw a bona fide outlet pass to a streaking Zeller (who's been streaking all season).

Sublime win.

Zeller is looking very solid of late - the ease and speed he displayed on that steal and dunk was impressive.

Regarding Al - we are witness to an offensive onslaught that not many centers in the history of the NBA have been capable of. Don't mean to sound hyperbolic, but we should be very appreciative of what we've being treated to over the last dozen games or so. This is historically good low post offense.

Turner/Kemba > Hendo/Kemba: I liked what I saw from ET tonight. I could imagine that he would have paired nicely with Kemba. Nice pickup by the Pacers.

Finally - Where's my Steph Ready?!?! Who was that annoying tranny handling the Big Al post game interview?

I said the same thing when we were watching live. I don't think I remember Zeller receiving a full-court pass in transition the whole season.

For such a small crowd last night, the atmosphere was pretty damn good. A lot of energy from the start (helps when you come out firing). The biggest roar of the night was the bank in 3 from Al.

That was as complete of a game as I've seen this season from the starters.

I think Luke is going to be fine, he's a great passer...just doesn't look comfortable.

I really like this team and glad they came out and had a strong defensive game (MKG especially) to shut up some of media that have only seen 2 highlights of our games (Melo and LBJ)

that was a small crowd last night they looked great on tv.. at the end of the broadcast they have this great shot of everyone losing their **** when Big Al hit that three.

I can't imagine the Pacers retaining both Stephenson and Turner. I think we have a strong chance of landing either one with our cap space. And wins like this are proving to other players that they can come here and not get laughed off the court. We have a hungry team of fierce competitors, growing talent and a buzz about the fan base. Coach Clifford, Big Al and Kemba are gaining us serious respect. We're definitely no longer an embarrassing destination for free agents. One of them has to go and I think we could recruit him here.

This x1000.

Big Al and Kemba are going to be the main reason we land a solid free agent. Clifford doesn't hurt either.

Plus it's a different hook now. For Al it was "You're a winner and we want you here to change the culture."

Now it's "We want to advance deeper into the playoffs and become a serious contender for years to come. We think you can take us to a higher level."

Al was a beast, but I was very impressed with Kemba at the point. He showed poise, he ran with the fast break well, he had some nice dimes dropped, he was really a floor general. Zeller is and will only get better, and MKG punked George and had him shook all game with his aggressive defense. This was a good win.

I'm pretty sure the Bucks could have beaten the Pacers team that showed up last night. Good win though, we stomped the beejesus out of them.

The same Bucks team that got the beejesus stomped out of them by the Kings?

No need to belittle the Bobcats performance last night because the Pacers were on the tail end of a back-to-back, because nobody excuses Charlotte's performance when they come out flat on the tail end of a back-to-back, and they've had the most in the league

I love your negativity. You must hate winning, no?

I don't think last night's game was a aberration or anomaly of any sort. This year's Bobcats' team under Clifford has shown the ability to compete with the best teams in the league, but unfortunately haven't gotten enough breaks down the stretch of those previous games. Last night was just the Bobcats' night for things to start going their way in those type of games, when usually it's the other way around where it would've been Roy Hibbert instead of Al Jefferson making a bank shot 3-pointer as the shot clock expired that would've allowed the Pacers to escape with a victory

Now that was fun to watch..Outstanding defense most of the game. A-Train pulled into the station with a great game..We played as a Team...Only wish Justin would have got in last two minutes to showcase his stuff.
With 21 regular season games left, we are in 7th spot with the Hawks in our rear view mirror and Rooklyn 2 games in front For sixth seed. Right now is the best time to put together a wining Streak

3 games back of Brooklyn.

I think we are basically locked in at the 7th seed unless Atlanta some how turns it around.

Brooklyn could always get back to losing but they're playing good ball right now.

We absolutely need to beat them both times we play them though. Lock up the tie breaker
