NBA: Indiana Pacers (#1) vs Atlanta Hawks (#8) Playoff Series Thread

[Nathan89]

When did Hibbert turn into a 36yo Theo Ratliff?

[ElNono]

Pace still favor the Hawks, but the Pacers have done a better job defensively in the 2nd quarter

[MeloHype]

That crowd looks bored

[ElNono]

George Hill and David West are getting murdered on defense

[Spur-Addict]

That crowd looks bored

They look disappointed too

[jimbo]

These Hawks are so much more watchable than the Joe Johnson/Re ed SF shooter variety

[Nathan89]

That crowd looks bored

They should be. Their team is boring and terrible.

[Spur-Addict]

Milsap doing the Indi front court dirty

[ElNono]

West thugging it up per par... aryan boy not backing down...

[ElNono]

What Teague is doing to George Hill shouldn't be legal, tbh

[Spur-Addict]

OH !!! TEAGUE

Some people say "defense wins championships but it only makes sense in the context where most teams ignore the significance of defense and where the significance of defense needs to be emphasized. Of course defense is very important but the defensive approach is a negative strategy and it'll sooner or later defer to an offense-oriented strategy which's more positive and creative. Good defense may help you survive in the short term but sooner or later your defensive line will be penetrated and your troops would be annihilated, and a defense-only strategy will always turn out to be costly like what you see in Stalingrad, on the western back of River Volga in early 1943, which would later turn out to be a decisive turning point of the world war at large. Good defense only has some value when accompanied by sharp counter attacks, and that's exactly what makes the main difference between Mourinho's team and those teams in the relegation zone.

Wow, coach Mike is doing good job out there. And Pacers

[StrengthAndHonor]

Don't sleep on them Hawkz. Teague and Antic always presents matchup problems for the Pacers. When Korver and Milsap contributes on top of that, things could get dicey. You don't need to score a lot of points to beat Indiana.

+1 Pacwrs have no answer for Teague.

[ElNono]

What happened to George Paul? Had to change the tampax?

[davethedope]

this paul george willis reed moment- as close as he'll ever get at least

[Spur-Addict]

Hawks getting busy on these fools.

[ElNono]

Millsap all over Scrubla

[Mal]

Hibbert just lost it.

i don't see how is having a good D related to only taking mid range jump shots on offence.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooool

[BatManu20]

ATL about to be up 16 on Indy at their place

I predicted the Pacers wouldn't make it past the 2nd round. Not sure they'll make it out of the 1st at this point.

[LakerHater]

WooooooooW!!

[ElNono]

Hibbert about to meltdown
