Since there isn't always gamedays, I thought I'd make this thread so we have a place we can talk about the games if there isn't another thread to post in.

Anyone see last nights game? I missed it. First thing to that popped out at me when I looked at the box score is it looks like the combo of Hibbert, West and Hansbrough are still rebounding amazingly well. Only 3 games in but a nice sign so far.

Rough night for George going 0-4. He get locked down, or just have a bad game?

"Through eight games, Tyler Hansbrough has 87 field goals and 57 rebounds but not a single assist to his credit.

None.

He's the only Pacers player without an assist and is one of just three NBA players averaging more than 20 minutes who are assist-less, the others being Derrick Favors and Joel Anthony.
He's probably only made a handful of passes this year.

When Hansbrough gets the ball hes taking wild shots where sometimes it looks like a toddler trying to throw the ball in the net. Dude hardly passes.

Whatever though. He is doing what hes supposed to out there. Hustle points and rebounds. I'm ok with it.

Pacers winning close games... They didn't do that last year, even without Granger. While I wasn't impressed with the fact that Granger was an idiot and forgot he had 1 technical foul, it was nice to see a little bit of blackness actually come out of him. I didn't know the dude had a little bit of swagger.

Don't want to talk about it.

They were pretty active on the boards all night, which is something hard to stop when you've got a guy like Roy Hibbert who just isn't fast enough to stop Cousins when he decides to go ape shit.

They brought out a 2-3 zone in the 4th that killed us.

Barely pulled that one off. I still don't know why Collison was in the game on that last defensive possession. He completely lost Curry and let him have a wide open look. Even though George Hill did a great job on Ellis, I would've liked to have seen Hill on Curry and George on Ellis for defensive purposes.

Speaking of Paul George, dude needs some lower body strength badly. He's really only effective on straight-line drives (like Granger) and coming off screens. He needs a more diverse offensive game so he can be more aggressive.

Loving the Hibbert/West combination down low. They're aggressive on both ends of the floor and rebound exceptionally well (unless we're facing DeMarcus Cousins).
