Wow

ESPN actually sent me an NBA text worth getting:

LeBron James, 35 points at halftime against the Knicks.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 8:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

is that being televised anywhere?

None of the major networks

League Pass seems to be it.

Don't think so

I just saw he scored 24 straight…craziness

Indy Cornrows

by spstevenson on Feb 6, 2010 8:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

He's 13-of-18 from the field

That’s called the zone

Indy Cornrows

by spstevenson on Feb 6, 2010 8:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

4-7 deep

Definitely the zone.

Pacers still

On that pesky back-to-back losing streak? I had thought we snapped that recently. Guess not!

I was worried about that play

He wasn’t getting ANY leverage on Bogut, but did great getting back to get the basket. Great work.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 8:46 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Bucks fans yelling

“MILWAUKEE! MILWAUKEE!”

Weird chant. Very weird chant.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 8:47 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Crowd

They’re crowd sounds crazy into this game. Must be free beer/shots night or something. I think the cheerleaders are playing beer pong behind the basket!

Vintage t-shirt night? C’mon. Bobbleheads. That is the answer to everything.

If Youre not First, Youre Last

by drsuessrunner07 on Feb 6, 2010 8:55 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

I was thinking that

Saw him on the bench and was thinking, “Stack is a Buck? Since when?”

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 8:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Haha

He’s looking sharp for being 50 years old

Weird not seeing him in #42

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 8:58 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

This effort

Seems familiar. Haven’t seen it in a couple of games.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 8:55 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Blow horns

The blow horns are giving this game a European soccer-type feel. Are we sure these noises are actually coming from the crowd, or is the PA guy just playing a recorded audience over the speaker system?

Indy Cornrows

by spstevenson on Feb 6, 2010 8:58 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

I was wondering that

With the chants. It’s a strange NBA atmosphere.

I hope they’re pumping in crowd noise though. Create a real controversy.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 8:58 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Ford's in

Trying to get some hustle on the floor.

Great alley oop guys

Clearly not Diener/McBobs.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 9:06 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

LeBron update

He’s called off the attack. Zero points in the third quarter with 3 minutes to go.

stacks signed with milwaukee a couple weeks ago for 670,000 for the remainder of the year

talk about playing for love of the game at this point in his career

Idea

The Pacers ought to sign random fans to 10-day contracts for the remainder of the season. It’d be like winning the lottery. You have to buy two tickets to a game in order to be entered into the drawing, and then after each 10-day period, that person is released and another person signed for 10-days. I mean, that’s got to be a good chunk of change. Plus, you get to meet Larry Bird, hang with the players, sleep with the groupies. And the Pacers increase attendance cuz it’s a lottery and it’s Indiana, which is a lethal combination. It’s a win-win!

+43,199

My dribbling is a bit questionable, but I rebound well for someone 5’11". I may be able to get a spot above Diener in the rotation by the end of the week.

that ideas so good it scares me

If Youre not First, Youre Last

by drsuessrunner07 on Feb 6, 2010 9:13 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Good idea but..

make it a 10 day contract to coach the Pacers

by Slick4President on Feb 6, 2010 9:15 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Hopefully Larry is on here right now reading this. This is gold. It’ll save his job.

I wish you were joking

But it’s so damn true

So...

Head gone, Foster and Hansbrough more or less gone. Down to twelve active players. Ford being benched, down to eleven. Hopefully trading Murphy to Cleveland. Down to ten assuming we only get Z in return, which means we should be sending him back to Cleveland.

We won’t even have to try and tank.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 9:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

There's an alley oop worth seeing!

D.Jones bringing it home!

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 9:30 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Ford hurting a bit?

Still managed to hit a three pointer somehow. Another fine effort for him. But if he’s hurting, that could put us in a situation for the rest of the night.

by goodlucksaturday on Feb 6, 2010 9:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

It also could help us when Watson comes back so Ford gets sent back to the bench for a reason. Of course, I would rather have him playing for trade value purposes anyway.
