The Tradition

Spoiler:

C.J. Miles must've had one hell of a hangover, he's out again tonight with a migraine.

Hibbert got injured as well. We are now officially at the point where no starter from last year's team is available.

[Jake0890]

Hobbert won't return.

Holy cow these injuries are ridiculous now. We don't have a single returning starter not injured for us, as Nunitus said.

Wow. Just incredible.

[mikepacernation]

Solo is on fire!!

Solo with 28. He actually looks pretty damn good.

Impressed with solo tonight. And good to see Whit get some burn. Hibb's knee injury doesn't sound serious but Whit will probably get some run here

Also, is it just me or does AJ Price look a little grayer than he did when he was last with us?

Another game, another close loss. At least the team continues to fight despite missing the top 7 players on the team.

Jazz on Monday.

[Nuntius]

You cannot help but be proud of this team. They are really fighting hard and several players are showing promise. Solo was amazing tonight.

Really enjoying watching you guys. Sucks all the starters are hurt, but at least your team fights for every game. Hopefully you'll get a top three pick and end up even stronger after all the adversity.

We got to look at the bright side of all of this. All these guys out playing who are end of rotation kind of guys are getting hell of experience.This may end up being a good thing for the pacers. Guys like Sloan Solomon and Allen are getting great experience somewhere down the line this is gonna pay off.

Yup, we've seen it pay off with numerous guys in the past for us, most notably George and Lance (and even Plumlee, though we didn't get to enjoy the success part). I'm beginning to think Vogel isn't as bad as we thought at developing players, he may only be bad at finding minutes for young guys.

I didn't get to catch this game unfortunately, but Hill had been improving each game and doing more. And Allen has been consistently good. Really wish we had gotten a team option for next year on his deal. I'd hope we resign Allen to a reasonable deal to fully replace Scola at the end of the year.

I have taken daily medication for migraines on and off since I was little and still occasionally had to use emergency Imitrex shots. Its important to remember that migraines aren't just regular old headaches. People used to do things like offer me aspirin, and all i could say was "you really have no idea what this is like."
