I just don't get it. Up by 20, and the starters have pretty much left it all on the floor. Pretty much have done exactly what you want them to. What could have gone on in that timeout?
"Great job guys, but I think you can get it going again and beat them by 30. Come on, let's show these bench guys how it's done. Get back in there!"
So, they go back in, look blabbergasted to be back in, and get run out of the gym by the Pacers' second string. Good thing the Pacers' scrubs weren't headhunting or we could have had a sprained knee or back to go along with our single digit win.
Somebody help me... What possible rationale is there to put those guys back in the game?
I liked CB's aggressiveness early, getting in the paint and dishing - though also missing some close shots.
Not sure what's going on with TP. Making Peja look like Ben Wallace and letting him swat two in a row back in your face is just embarrassing.
What's wrong with Dice's hand? I noticed the bandage last game. He seems to be favoring it some. Some vacation accident?
