The Official Eastern Conference 1st Round Thread: (1) Indiana vs (8) Atlanta

[thecatattack]

Playing good defence resulting in good offence.

This is the Indiana I like.

 

[HighRoller]

well at least one thing is for sure there wont be any sweeping going on. We need to get one back at least in the next 2 at Atlanta.

 

[HighRoller]

they gonna put Copeland on at any stage???

 

[HighRoller]

thankyou!

This thread went quiet once we blew it out.

 

[HighRoller]

so did we do any sort of psychological damage today or you think Atlanta still feeling good about 3 & 4 over there? What changed in the second half that we should be using in game 3 apart from defending properly lol.

Symptom of there being no Hawks fans and neutrals not interested in the 1 seed winning...

Well that and a heck of a game going on in Toronto

 

[peternorth]

looks like indy are back

 

[Saintt]

I wonder if this means Indiana are back or it's just the typical game 2 win the home team gets after losing game 1 (probably bad timing since Washington just went up 2-0 but it's pretty uncommon to see).

 

[go u jimmy b]

1st 1/4 of Game 3 is huge, if Indy come in and rack up an early double digit lead that might just break the Hawks. Hell even if Hibbert plays to 50% of his early season form they will probably crush the Hawks.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Without wishing to kick the man while he's down, Roy Hibbert has shot just 8/44 in his last six games.

I don't even...

This probably won't surprise anyone, but -

If things go awry in this series or the next for Indy, Lord knows how many moves they'll make in the off-season

 

[peternorth]

everyones blaming turner

 

[Warsaw]

everyones blaming turner

Stephenson's probably at fault here. It's easy to hate Turner (I certainly do) because he's game allows for it, but Lance has had the whole figjam look about him for a while now.

 

[PHX]

I don't understand the 8 over 1 barracking in this case. It's no 8 vs 1 in the West.

To generalise, people spent all year complaining how shitty the East was and now they're barracking for the shitty 0.463 8-seed team to win.

Go the Pacers.

 

[PHX]

Lol nice crowd turnout , A-Town. What a joke.

 

[stewie griffen]

Solid start from both. PG in early foul trouble but indy hanging around.

George Hill is getting a point lesson from Teague tho

 

[Drumroe]

Hibbert sucks

 

[tigs2010]

Hibbert sucks

Not according to him. He claimed he was DPOY in November. Oops

 

[thecatattack]

He was DPOY until he fell off.

 

[stewie griffen]

At least David West showed up today, pity about the rest of the squad

 

[tigs2010]

He was DPOY until he fell off.

Yep shame they don't give out the awards after 2 weeks. If you're going to rate yourself you need to deliver. Otherwise others will laugh at you.

 

[Lockyer24]

Biggest qtr in their season coming up

 

[Lockyer24]

Pacers were ridiculously boisterous early in the season, I agree.
