Most nights when the Pacers only give up 109 points they win easily. Tonight if they shot their average they win this game. They went 8-39 from 3 and only shot 38% from the field. The Pacers hit more two's and 1 more free throws but hit 6 less 3's.

So much for the Pirates hot start 9-2, they are now 11-11

Carlisle is acting like this is a January game at Detroit. There is no reason to start the 4th quarter with 4 bench players. He has played 11 or 12 players tonight. Most coaches cut their rotation down in the playoffs

I don’t think they can afford to lose game two though. 

They have to win the next game. Also looking forward we still need a starting 2 and 3. I just don't think Neimhard should be a starting 2 on a playoff team

It is just one game so I wouldn't say the series is over. I have seen plenty of teams get blown out in game 1 and win the series

It has to be asked…who is the leader? Galloway might not be starting and Reneau doesn’t seem to have the temperament. We saw it a lot this year with X out. When Trayce and Race left….we lost a ton of leadership.

Thats a big part of how teams come together. A lot of new players.

Rice and Galloway 

Montas had to leave the game with two outs in the first. He took a line drive off of his right arm.

Can someone explain Carlyle’s numbers from last year? Looking at them, they look pretty subpar. 32% from 3, 54% at the rim, 40% from mid range. More TOs per game than assists.

Was he just asked to do too much, not put in the best position, injury, all of the above? He seems to be pretty universally considered a top transfer, so I’m guessing there’s some explanation. Just trying to understand what his game will look like with the starting 5 we have next year.

I think they had him play with the ball in his hands to much. His catch and shoot percentage was really good. Also he shot 36% from 3 in conference play so he did improve that.

Yeah if you are a good player a few of those guys are of no concern to you.  

It will just be harder to get a top player to come here and come off the bench 

Now our starting unit is in intact I think we finish up with a backup 4 and 5. I know people will say we still need shooters but I think guys like Rice and Carlyle will take a step up next year. Hopefully Galloway can get back to where he was his junior year. I think he was asked to do touch last year and it caused his shooting percentage to go down. Also MM is a very good shooter who will only get better.

PG- Rice/Galloway/Cupps

2G- Carlyle/Newton

SF- MM/Tucker/Leal

PF- Reneau/?

 C- Ballo/?

We need a shooter and a back up 5 and a back up 4 who can shoot or a versatile 4/5 and two shooters

I just don't see another guard or win coming here with us ready having Rice, Carlyle, Galloway, Cupps,Newton, Leal plus MM and Tucker.

Another great addition

He's starting to put it together.  Barring injury, I'm expecting a big year from him.  

Has 6 homers and 10 SB so far this season 

De La Cruz with a homer and 3 SB

Yep but someone didn’t want to put in the time. They’ll be able to find some guys but it won’t be big names like everyone wants 

Why would a guy like Power transfer from Duke to only he a role player somewhere else. I am hopeful that Newton can be able to he healthy for next year and be a contributor off the bench. If we knew he could then all we would need is a backup 4 and 5. That is if we get Carlyle
