is not George closer to 6 ft 8 other than that excellent analysis

Paul George is 6'7" barefoot and the pacers said he has grown to 6'10"

I remember a game before against the Pacers, Ross played really well against Paul George, lets hope we see that T-Ross.

No Caroll is gonna hurt us in this one.

My opinion, early in the game we should run a set(I know, we don't have those) for Ross on an offball screen to get him an early jumper, get his head in the game. Seems like when he's involved on offense he's more engaged on defense.

the thing with Ross is he didn't get that many attempts. It was like 6 in Philly game. He could've made his next 6 and be 6-12 he's that kind of dude. So getting so pissed off at him isn't necessary. He's bringing more defense lately. But I always said that the guy needs a breakaway dunk or two to get him going. Give him some easy shots. But we never run so that doesn't happen often.

remember the "potential" days

[MixxAOR]

gotta get this W because we are not beating Hornets and Miami.

This team scares me a bit, our three point defence is pretty bad lately. Maybe matching up with George will get Ross back to the defensive wizard he was in the above clip.

This is a tough one - on the road, back to back, good shooting team? Will require a great effort from everyone. Sadly Casey will sabotage the team with his slow-start-guaranteed starting lineup. Maybe we'll get lucky and this will be the one game out of five that they start well?

[Scraptor]

The absence of DeMarre Carroll hurts here: he held George to 4/17 shooting in the opener. Maybe Casey will bring in JJ if George starts wrecking shit early.

why did we give up on Horns again?

why did we give up on Horns again?

Great question. I remember 2Pat asking the same thing last year.

[CNinja26]

Back to back, with our starters playing extended minutes last night (to Philly....), and the Pacers looking like a dangerous team...

I dunno. I would love a win here, but I think the Pacers might run us down and out. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

25th in isos................

I almost threw my computer... why did we go away from that?
