As always, great thread Jake. In case this is the last one, thanks for all of your game threads!

This is the game where hibbert doesn't even need to touch the court

Thanks Jake. I don't think we need to say what needs to happen.

HIbbert can still play only if Atlanta is trying to score inside. But most of the time he should be on the bench as he is the biggest liability on defense when Atlanta plays perimeter ball which Atlanta always does. Match him up with Brand, but not with Antic. Oh well, best of luck to us. Go Pacers!

I'd like to see West start at center with Scola backing him up although you could certainly play Hibbert or Mahinmi against Brand. I think I'd give both Copeland and Allen time at the four and I'd even try PG there when Scott is in.

I was thinking that earlier today. Only issue then is, who do you put on Teague, assuming he is in as well?

PG has been really, really good this series, while everyone else (sans maybe David West) have been atrocious. He's gotta play almost the entire game if we want a chance to win game 6 imo.

Also, appreciate the love on the GTs fellas. It's been fun this year, but I'm still hoping to continue doing them well into May... just gotta win the series.

I really can't fathom the fact that we could be knocked out tomorrow.

You can take game 7, Jake. I call game 1 of the next round.

Sure thing. Hopefully we make it that far...

No change in starters. I'm okay with that. Rather have Roy rise to challenge than sit but I hope we match up as game goes on.

Wtg Vogel. Get yourself in an early hole with Hibbert. SMH

Vogel changed up the rotation. Cope getting minutes in the first and second quarter. Its about damn time.

Guy kept calling Copeland "Carroll". Him and Butler are going to be the MVP's off the bench.

Korver with 3. That could be huge.

Scott should have been ejected. They ejected Nene for a headbutt, Scott threw a forearm.

Hill does not hit pressure free throws.

I think of Mike Scott and his game 5 performance as fraudulent unless proven otherwise.

Paul George needs to stop sulking. Seriously, interviewed at the break and he is still moping about needing to go small.

He has been in the league 4 years and played well for 1.5 of them. He needs someone advising him to keep his mouth shut. He is creating more drama and disunity by acting like this. If James or Duncan or Durant said that, their coach would rip them a new one. PG needs to grow up.
