The basketball gods are with us these last couple games if we weren't on this losing streak we really could've taking the number one seed.

[Jake0890]

Here we go again.

We need to stop giving up 30 and scoring under 20 in the first.

I just don't get why Vogel doesn't give Copeland a chance.

[Nuntius]

We closed out the quarter in a good way. Let's hope that this continues.

Scola sucks. That's all I gotta say. I wish he would okay copeland

Scola doesn't suck but he is playing bad right now. There were some reports about a messed up shoulder. I want to give Scola some rest and try out Copeland a bit.

I know he doesn't but he's just playing so god awful it's ridiculous. He's more of a liability when he's on the court.

The consolation is that Miami and OKC aren't doing too hot either.

[mikepacernation]

The pacers defense just went away in the last couple mins

[Nuntius]

Another loss.

Well, the good thing is that this wasn't as bad as the last 2 games. We saw some positive signs today. We're still in a funk, though, and we have to come out of it.

[MillerTheKiller]

Ugh

[mikepacernation]

The bench is why we lost 4 bench points..... That's crazy

[EuroPacer]

Yeah 4 points is clearly nowhere near enough production. It really strikes me that since the DG trade we have looked like a team having to find its offensive rhythm again, particularly with the second unit.

However, putting it all on the bench is not quite the whole story, they only took 8 shots between them, seems to me that Vogel is trying to turn things around by putting the ball in the starters' hands more, I am not convinced that is smart as it is clear that mental fatigue is beginning to play a big role at this point of the season.

Fortunately we have some easy opponents coming up, so let's see if we can work on finding the right formula.

I was thinking that last night. I don't know for sure but I wonder if Vogel doesn't want the bench to shoot a lot cause at all times their is usually a starter on the floor who normally takes most of the shots. We all know turner can play and I would like to see him take around 10 shots a game.

I also read that Bynum might make his pacer debut Friday so hopefully he can really help that bench.
