It's going to be a huge game. I'm soooo excited about this thread.

I just wish that me posting in this thread is not jinxing it

As am I. Hopefully we pick up our away play since we don't have home court advantage this time around.

Indiana fans have their own web site and fan forum. Most of Pacers fan are there. Only a few Pacer fans post in RealGM.

I post on both sites, personally.

However, I'm a tad superstitious and tend to avoid posting here during big games

Stupid Thunder-Grizz game, stupid timeouts

gogo Pacers

[Jake0890]

Someone guard their 3 pters.

4 straight awful possessions by Sam Young. Yikes.

[chube]

Minus that rough last minute and a half, solid 1st quarter for us.

[chube]

Love how DJ has turned it on as of late. 2 treys already.

[Jake0890]

Yeah, DJ has been quite good. Gotta put the starters back in though. Bench guys have been in far too long.

[Gremz]

Only just caught up through League Pass. Can't believe I slept in .

Need D West big time in this one.

[chube]

Pretty good performance thus far, Gremz. Paul, West and DJ especially have been solid. If not for a bad minute-and-a-half stretch (and some iffy perimeter D), we'd be up by 7 or so.

[Gremz]

We're having a good time defending the rim (albeit these second chance points are frustrating) , but there's been far too many open threes so far.

[chube]

Nice shooting by Lance and Roy! Love that our 7-footer can hit from 18 out.

[chube]

D's getting better on the perimeter. Which is obviously key.

[Jake0890]

Melo just keeps getting blocked. Love it.

Hibbert has to learn how to guard the pick and roll though. He doesn't hedge or switch, he just stands in the middle.

Great end to the half!

[chube]

Fun fact to keep us occupied during halftime (Bill Simmons adds to wanting to not pay attention.) Pendy has become the first player to be fined for flopping this post-season.
