Game Thread 11/24: Pacers vs.Raptors

[boomershadow]

After a Thanksgiving at home, the Pacers look to protect their home court and extend their winning streak to five as they host the red-hot Raptors on Friday night.

For Indiana (10-8), the key to its recent run of success has been outer-worldly 3-point shooting. During their four-game winning streak, Indiana has shot the three at a league-best 48.3 percent, making an average of 11.5 per game.

No Pacers player has been hotter beyond the arc than Bojan Bogdanovic, who has connected on 62.1 percent of his looks from deep during Indiana's winning streak. The Croatian-born small forward has delivered 26 points in back-to-back games, making a combined 11 3-pointers in the two games.

Gl Pacers fans,

Always been a humble fan of Myles Turner since draft day. Can't wait to see him matchup on our mobile bigs. Should be a fun game with an all out waging war type of result. Cheers!

The team was on a bit of a roll the last four games before the little thanksgiving vacation. Tonight I hope we come back looking energized and rested up after the time off rather than groggy and 15 pounds heavier after all the turkey, which is kinda how I feel at work today

Interesting game. Raptors are beatable, they are too predictable.
For the Pacers getting this win would be very good for their psyche. Raptors are one of the top teams in the East last couple years (during the regular season).

Looking forward to this, good test against a team that's has our measure the past few seasons.

...and as you get into your vehicle preparing to leave wherever you may have been for your meal, you realize you have one more thing to be thankful for.......

Tilt steering wheels!

This is going to be a tough match. The Raptors are a good team and they just lost to the Knicks. They're going to be looking to bounce back tonight.

This game is absolutely crazy so far.

[boomershadow]

First they go on a 5-0 run, then we go on a 12-0 run. Now they score five in a row.

Looking pretty good so far

Then Pacers get 13 in a row.

The ball is made of lava.

The whole bench is Bad Lance and Quinn Buckner is going ham with the telestrator

Leaf is too soft to be in the rotation. Sabonis has had a pretty rough game.

Gotta love Quinn

The more shooting we have the better so I'm fine with Leaf. He is also hustling a lot out there.

turner 3rd foul,smh

[Miller4ever]

How is Domas dropping all these passes? They don't look like terrible passes, he's getting his hands on them, and they're just slipping through.

I don't even know what to think about this game right now.
