This is not the way to go. We may as well play Lance at backup PG and start Orlando Johnson.

I'd be better with that. Or start Green and replace him with Orlando on the bench. But George seems to fit better at SF so probably best not to put him back to SG.

Too bad. Ben Hansbrough's a really bad basketball player for the NBA. Toughness only gets you so far, especially when you're 6'3". We're going to have to have Lance on the floor at all times with him. Hansbrough/Green/Young would be ugly.

Oh well, this can't last too long, and hopefully it'll light a fire under Augustin. Maybe we'll get some brother chemistry in the pick & roll off the bench.

Went to my first game of the season last night (yeah, slacking) - man is Roy Hibbert hard to watch. Zeller was giving him fits (although that was in the process of fouling out of the game in probably 15 minutes of play) and he just wasn't moving up and down the floor well at all.

Needless to say, Paul George was very impressive. Ben Hansbrough also surprised me - I honestly thought he got a roster spot just because of his brother - but he looks to be a solid option to backup the Point.

Still not sure if the Pacers actually went out and won this game, or if Cleveland just literally gave it away because they couldnt have played any worse in the second half....but a W is a W.

I'll be back on the 26th when the Bulls come to town

We all doubted George this season as a reliable #1 scorer since he was so inconsistent. But ever since his 0 point game he's looked like a legit #1 option for us.

Hibbert has looked like Hibbert on defense and on the boards, and he's looked like Joel Anthony on offense. Its ****ing hard to watch. Something isn't right there, and someone needs to fix it.

What happens sometimes with players is the expectations from their big contract weigh on them and they start playing like shit. I'm starting to feel like that's the issue here. You don't just turn into shit on offense overnight like he has.

**R-Star** · 12-13-2012, 10:00 AM

Big game tonight. Here's hoping George can carry over his offensive play.

Hopefully Roy figures it out on offense and Lance learns how to play D one of these days as well.

**R-Star** · 12-13-2012, 02:51 PM

Nevermind, games tomorrow.

**Knick Killer** · 12-14-2012, 07:07 PM

Didn't catch the game as my streaming website seems to not work on my work computer anymore(works perfectly at home but not here. anyone have any idea why?). Seems like George, Hibbert and Hill(triple double) all had an awesome night. I laughed when I saw Ben Hansbrough's stats for the night, in 8 minutes he didn't record a single stat. Anyways, big win and it looks like we're starting to come together a bit.

**R-Star** · 12-14-2012, 07:10 PM

Yep. And it all seemed to start with what seems to be Paul George breaking out. I missed the game as well, but it's nice to see a solid offensive stat line for Hibbert. Hopefully he caries it over.

This was an important win.

Went to the game last night thanks to some free tickets from the guys over on PacersDigest.

Bench played pretty horrible, but George, Hill, and Hibbert played great. PG is really starting to look a lot more comfortable with the ball in his hands, constantly looking for his shot. Hibbert looked better, but he didn't really get his points with his post game, which is concerning. David West had a pretty rough game, missed a lot of shots he normally knocks down and even airballed one in the middle of the fourth.

With West you know he'll bounce back, not like if you see Hibbert have an off game and know there's probably more to come.

It looks like right when myself and others were ready to write PG off as a #1 option he decided to start playing with a 1a mentality. I don't want to get too excited, but I sure hope he keeps it up. We all know he has it in him.

Dang. That would have been a candidate for sure if he made that.

Whats Hawes mouthing off about?

"Way to dunk in my face you pussy!"

**R-Star** · 12-15-2012, 01:30 PM

One more good game from Hibbert and he should be averaging 10ppg this season. Hes currently at 9.9.

Dominant big man.
