I'm kinda busy today, so no game info. I wanted the thread up in case anyone had something to say. Go Pacers.

Let's keep the streak alive!

GO PACERS!

Gonna be tough on a back-to-back away game. Orlando has dropped three straight so they will be hungry for the win.

I think it's going to be competitive, though. Sabonis is relatively rested, and we have some favorable matchups.

Game is on NBATV which means I get to watch.

Important game. A win here would make Pacers record +3 counting road victories against home loses. That's basically 6 games above 5 hundred - very respectable for the early season to a new team.
Orlando can not through anything at Pacers that Pacers couldn't handle. Pacers play with fun, even developing some poise with certain players just willing to do anything that takes till the last second of the game.
After early season's surprise from Magic, they got couple impressive W's, 4 games loosing streak is not a pleasant sign, though they played couple good teams on the road. But, what the bleep happened with a home loss to the Jazz 85-125???
Anyway, I favor Pacers and wish them good, quality game with a W at the end. Go Pacers!

In the last 10 games Pacers are 5-5 (Domas missed couple games), but Pacers still averaged 115 points on the O. Not bad, not bad at all.

Apparently, Myles and Domas have been pretty awesome on the PnR this season. We'll also get to see Elfrid's amazing hair tonight. Let's hope we have a good game.

Vic has 3 steals in the 1st quarter.

Yeah Peyton has the stupidest hair do I've seen in a while.

Nasty dunk by Dipo...

Loving it so far.

Peyton's hair are actually amazing.

These refs have been pretty damn terrible early on.

Foul on Oladipo for boxing out. Augustin jumped sideways into Joseph for a foul. Just bad calls.

That was a horrible foul by Joseph.

Good first quarter. I like our defensive intensity other than the fact that we have given up some open 3s. If we fix that then we're going to be in a good spot.

Vucevic was having his way with wide open jumpshots

We can’t hit anything this quarter.

Yep. Myles needs to do a better job at closing out on him.

I know we’re shooting bad from 3 but we had two open ones that got passed on for a contested 2 that got blocked.

We were a bit too unselfish in that possession.
