Danny Granger and Lebron James went straight at one another all night. When the dust settled, a late run by the Cavs would seal the deal at the Q.

Player Of The Game:

Lebron James

Quote Of The Game:
"Our inability to close out teams is becoming frustrating. We had a number of opportunities to close the door down the stretch and either committed a foolish turnover or missed a wide open shot. We can't win if we can't close teams out. It doesn't matter that we led for almost 3 whole quarters if we can't buckle down when a team comes right at us in the closing minutes." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien

Damn Big Z had quite a nice game, tough loss Mike, lets get some wins.

 

[Deviant]

Wow... Granger beasted.

Your game shots look awesome, mine look all dark and shit. How do you get them to look so clear? Can you give me the step by step of how you do your screens?

Damn Big Z had quite a nice game, tough loss Mike, lets get some wins.

He grabbed tons of offensive boards for them.

Wow... Granger beasted.

Not quite. 15-44 is just over .333 from the field. Their defense forced me into a lot of bad shots and when he is really the only guy who can hit shots consistently on this team, I go to him a lot. lol.

Your game shots look awesome, mine look all dark and shit. How do you get them to look so clear? Can you give me the step by step of how you do your screens?

1. Save replay.
2. Load replay in reelmaker.
3. Advance to point in replay I want to screenshot.
4. Select angle/camera.
5. Save screenshot.
6. Load screenshot.
7. Upload.

I really don't do anything different (to the best of my knowledge) but people continue to say my screens look better than theirs. :shrug:

Great job mike a tough start to the season, but we know you are the Pacers. You will turn this ship around sooner or later..

This was another game where I was leading throughout. I had some wide open looks, including a 3 pointer by Ford that didn't fall for me. I got desperate towards the end and they pulled away, but as you said, I am the Pacers. lol.

 

[LC AAU]

I know a way to make almost every shot with danny granger.

 

[mfbmike]

Chises where you don't win every game are so much fun to follow. You'll turn things around soon though.

44 shots with Granger though? haha that's ridiculous.

lol, I'm telling you, this team is bad. I'm especially frustrated with how often I miss open shots with Ford.

I was actually hoping he could be a solid 3rd scoring option but he really isn't. lol.

Lol T.J. Ford is a bad shooter, he's only good going to the lane. He's like a good version of Mike Conley in life, but those players don't work real good on the game.

You should take a look at C.J. Watson. He's the backup point guard for Golden State. He'll be easy to get and he's pretty good for his rating. I got him in my chise and he just had a 20-13 game and he's a decent shooter.

Really, I haven't even had that much success driving to the lane with him considering he's pretty small but I'll keep that in mind.

T.J. is probably the least of my worries though at this point. Not to mention, Jarrett Jack is actually very solid for me off the bench.

I gotta get some better defenders on this team. Dunleavy, while being a solid scorer is a huge defensive liability. He got ripped whenever he defended VC and Simmons/Hayes in this past game against the Nets. rofl.

Player Of The Game:

Jeff Foster

Quote Of The Game:
"Our guys really stepped up tonight. Obviously Jeff played hard tonight but guys like Marquis, Brandon, and Jarrett all came off the bench and gave us a huge boost. Not just putting points on the board but pulling down boards, tracking down loose balls and finding open guys for shots. Our defense still is far from where we want it to be though." - Danny Granger
