Game Thread 01/04: Pacers vs. Bulls

Post #1 » by **boomershadow** » Thu Jan 3, 2019 2:11 pm

The Pacers open up 2019 with hopes of extending their winning streak to six games as they tip off a five-game road trip in Chicago.

The Bulls have looked like a stronger team since the return of Lauri Markkanen, who leads the team with 7.5 rebounds per game. Offensively, Chicago is led by Zach LaVine, who is posting a career-best 23.5 points per game this season.

The Pacers — who have the league's second-ranked defensive rating (102.2) — matchup favorably against the Bulls, owners of the league's worst offensive rating at 100.2 points per 100 possessions.

Why does this team always have such a huge resting time between games?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but every year it seems that way.

It's probably good for us that Justin Holiday got traded.

Offensively and defensively horrible in the first quarter. Gotta straighten it out

Turner provided nothing but fouls this game.

Pretty pathetic.

4 point lead with less than 4 minutes left and I'm still not feeling confident.

Baby Sabonis is so nasty.

Dipo's passes and defense is elite tonight.

Dunn is a garbage 3 point shooter yet tonight he's Reggie Miller.
