One of the few bright spots in tonight's game. A sick alley oop from Quinn to Green.

Player Of The Game:

Deron Williams

Quote Of The Game:
"Their defense had our number through the 1st 3 quarters, holding us to just under 40% shooting from the field. You won't win many games shooting that low of a percentage in this league. We finally managed to get into a groove and get shots to fall late in the game, but by then, it was too little, too late." - Jamal Crawford

Trades:

<=====>

The Lakers have traded Trevor Ariza to the Sixers in exchange for Salim Stoudamire.

<=====>

After acquiring C.J. Miles earlier this season, the Nets are already parting ways with him in exchange for Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies. Both players asked for trades due to lack of playing time on their previous teams.

I cannit beleive i missed a Pacers chise let alone a 130 page Pacers chise . oh well im following now.

Hopefully you can just get through these games without Granger .

 

[James2Stapleton]

whens granger coming back?

 

[mfbmike]

If you had Granger or even Rush, you would have won

I'd like to think so. I couldn't hit much the 1st 3 quarters. And Jordan Hill was rediculous in the paint. I took one into the hole with one of my guys and he literally slammed the ball back down to the floor. One of the sickest blocks I've ever seen in the game. :laugh:

Salim?!?! For Ariza!?!?

wow those trades are astonishing lol

Tell me about it. Gasol had a bench warmer role in Memphis for some reason behind Michael Doleac and some other guy. :rofl: So he got pissed and asked for a trade. Same with C.J. The Nets traded Najera for him earlier in the season with no chance of him getting playing time in NJ.

GERALD FUCKIN' GREEN!

Great pass by Quinn, but that was all Green.

Quinn and Green hooked up again for another one. :rofl: it looks like Quinn didn't even look. He just lofted it up there frmo the 3 point line and Green hauled ass and threw it down.

I cannit beleive i missed a Pacers chise let alone a 130 page Pacers chise . oh well im following now.

Hopefully you can just get through these games without Granger .

Better late than never. And I did even worse last season when Granger went down. At least I'm keeping my head above water this time around.

whens granger coming back?

The game has his return listed at 1-2 weeks. I'm hopiing he comes back before the end of the month because I want to run another developmental drill with him.

Pacers Star Could Return This Week

Pacers coach Jim O' Brien said that there's an "outside chance" Danny Granger could return to the team's lineup this week.

O' Brien would not specify Granger's projected return, but did say Granger has recovered more quickly than expected.

Granger said he'd like to play in the Pacers upcoming game against the Wizards. O' Brien doesn't think that will happen.

"When he's ready, that's when he's going to play," O' Brien said. "And, right now, he's not ready."

Granger strained his achilles tendon in a demoralizing loss to the Mavericks In Dallas a month ago after landing awkardly in a layup attempt against Josh Howard.

The Pacers also are missing shooting guard Brandon Rush. Rush, sidelined by a separated shoulder, is expected to be out through the first week of February.​

 

[mfbmike]

ouch, grandpas beating you.

lol. Wayne Ellington and George Hill are two solid young players that tore me apart in that game. Duncan was kept in check for the most part. They are still a very talented team.

Oh boy, get it together Mike.

It's hard. :|

 

[Vinsane]

Granger has been an expert sitting the bench for you, injured. He knows what he's doing, of course he's coming back soon.

Quote Of The Game:
"We are just going through a bad stretch right now. Guys seem out of focus. It showed tonight. We did a good job of getting to the line but didn't capitalize on those opportunities at the charity stripe. Regardless of what happened in that final quarter, free throws made the difference tonight. They always do in close games." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien

Haven't checked in awhile but still looks awesome.
Holding down that fourth spot, do you think you can move up at all to a higher spot in the East?

 

[mfbmike]

Not at this rate. I'm getting fucking rocked. A blowout loss to the Jazz, a double digit loss to the Spurs and a meltdown in D.C. in my last 3 games.

issed: issed:

 

[Len B]

Was that THE R. Davis that scored 14 on you?

Losing streaks are always a pain, but you're still in great shape.

 

[goDawgs1433]

When dat dude Granger gonna come back?

 

[Maestro]

Dont worry Mike, if you keep it up you will be in 7th place in no time:kickballs:.

 

[Vinsane]

See what happens when you trade Ricky!?!?!
