Mike, add this logo to your PB in that logo set. It's not perfectly the same as the other ones but it's still nice.

Granger is playing like a monster. What's his season high in points?

Quote Of The Game:
"It's no rumor that the knock me on that I wasn't a hard worker or didn't show consistent effort before. It's different here with Indiana. I mean, it doesn't hurt to have a winning record but there is a winning attitude here. When you know the other guys on your team are really working to win, you will put forth more effort out there." - Chris Wilcox

Granger is playing like a monster. What's his season high in points?

Thanks. Yeah this logo set doesn't have a thunder one, but a sonics one. Oh well. lol.

Season high is 62 points, which I scored in that 5 overtime win against the Bulls. Highest in a regular game was 49, against the Sixers earlier in the season.

Thanks to everyone else for following and the support. In the home stretch here. Only 5 games remaining.

Nice win and nice job shutting down Westbrook somewhat. When he gets hot hes impossible to stop.

Yeah, I got out in front early but they kept hanging around. Managed to knot it up at 80 heading into the 4th. Thankfully, I was able to pull ahead in the final quarter.

No kidding. I was hoping he didn't go off. Luckily, Durant is out with that broken toe.

My Sean Williams > Your Sean Williams.

He's averaging 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks in my chise.

Mine comes off the bench and I acquired him a couple months into the season. He was getting shit for minutes over in Jersey. lol. He may or may not start come next season depending how the chips fall in FA.

Good ball spread. Seems like most teams just have 2-3 good performances.


What are your post season plans? Pacers going for another season?

Yeah, I'm definitely going to continue with this. I made moves for the future so to stop after 1 season would be pointless. :happy:

oh man, im' totally psyched for the playoffs. i can't wait.

Pacers Earn Playoff Bid

Danny Granger scored a game high 35 points as the Pacers clinched a playoff berth after a 2 year absence with a 108-85 win over the Raptors lastnight.

Now that the Pacers are in the playoffs, don't expect them to take their foot off the pedal. They want to roll into the postseason with momentum.

"Our job's not done, and that's what we just talked about," said Head Coach Jim O' Brien. "There are still more games to be played."

Center Chris Kaman agreed.

"I think we all want to keep playing hard," said Kaman, who scored 28, 2 shy of his career high against the Raptors lastnight. "It feels good to be in the playoffs. Hopefully, we will go back to the drawing board a bit, work on our execution and timing and head into the playoffs with a head of steam.

The Blazers are currently 42-36 and have 4 games remaining in their regular season schedule. A trip to Atlanta to face the Hawks, and then a 3 game homestand to close out the season, against the division-rival Pistons, #1 seed Cavaliers, and the lowly Bucks.

"It was our goal to win more than 40 games at the beginning of the season and we have reached that goal," Danny Granger said in a post game interview. Larry (Bird) has done a great job bringing in some of these guys and has set us up for a success. Don't forget we were 8, maybe 10 games under .500 at one point."​

Quote Of The Game:
"We deserved to lose by a lot more than we did out there tonight. Chris (Wilcox) was in foul trouble which didn't help but we missed a lot of open shots. The Hawks didn't exactly shoot the lights out either which makes this game look a lot closer than it really was." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien

No room for him man. lol.

Damn Granger.. what a bad game.

Slick video though, Daniels a big threat so they doubled him? Crazy.

Yeah, Granger has struggled these past two games after raping the Raptors. Not sure if I should be worried or not.

Daniels actually caught a double team on a pick and roll play. He just broke it down and got to the rim. It was a sweet play. Caught me by surprise. I've actually grown to really like playing with Marquis. At the beginning of the season, I was ready to ship him out. Glad I stuck with him.

 

[mfbmike]

great work on making the playoffs, any idea of who ur playing first?

http://www.vsngaming.com/forum/showpost.php?p=168099&postcount=783



At this point it's looking like either Cavs, Hawks, or Heat. When I post the weekly update you'll be able to see the standings. I fell to the 8th seed with these 2 losses. :|

Ah ok, wasn't sure.
