Notes: Jrue Holiday is out - Nick Young will start. Ivey is also out, so expect to see more time for Wayns. And Kwame is starting tonight over Lavoy. I don't exactly know why, but maybe Doug just wants a bigger guy out there at first, since we'll be dealing with West and Hibbert all night.

This game should be wrights chance to step up and earn his minutes back

[sixer04fan]

Ah damn. I see I didn't switch Turner's name out of the SF slot. You get the point though. Jason Richardson is starting at SF. I'm just too lazy to go back and fix it now.

expectin a very ugly game tonight. Gonna need a big time game from ET tonight. Hopefully Young and Wright can nail some 3's and get off to a good start. No one on the Pacers scares me offensively but they are a strong defensive team with Hibbert in the paint.

I guess I can see Wright getting more opportunities with Evan needed more at PG. I wouldn't hold my breath on him stepping up and nailing some threes though. He's looked very shaky when given the chance to get on the floor lately and he's not shooting with any confidence. I don't think I've seen him hit a three in like five games.

Hoping for the best though, obviously. Hoping that I'm dead wrong and he comes out and kills out.

Wright problem is the same problem jrich has.... They try to do more than they should and they do things theyre not particularly good at.

Prediction: Evan screams kwame for bubbling balls and blowing easy set ups.

Prediction: Evan screams kwame for bubbling balls and blowing easy set ups.

...at which point Kwame grabs Evan around the neck, entirely enveloping it with one hand...and gives a little squeeze. Just to show Evan that everyone's sick of his complaining.

The unexpected result is a happy surprise indeed: Evan coughs-up a slobbery hairball at which time his voice immediately reverts to that of a human.

Looks like we've gone away from the pick and roll tonight completely with Holiday out.

I wish George would have made that. Still nice to see Hawes looking like a *****.

[sixer04fan]

WOW. That was AWESOME!!!

[sixer04fan]

Unbelievable effort and awareness by Thad there. So sick.

[sixer04fan]

Ohhh and Hawes with the icing on the cake! 4 point swing (at least) in the last 3 seconds when they were inbounding haha. Wow
