Memphis Grizzles (3-3) @ Indiana Pacers (7-0) Game Thread

[All Net]

Should be a good one..Memphis are playing better after a poor start by beating GS.

Indy still unbeaten. Does the run end tonight?

[Dro]

I think if it were in Memphis, we may lose. But I think we'll win at home. I think the first loss will come in Chicago...

[bagelred]

You know what? I feel this is the game the Indiana Pacers, FINALLY, after 7 wins in a row, get to 8-0.

They've been aiming for it all year. Nice to see it all culminating now for the Pacers. :cheers:

Let's be honest, if the Pacers do anything less than 98-0, it will be an epic fail. They better not screw up.

Man, Gasol is a GREAT passer...

[Numero 10]

happy with the start. gasol/hibbert matchup is going to be interesting.

[All Net]

Nuts how long Hibbert is..

I just get tired of the turnovers. Every time I feel like we can blow the game wide open, we turn it over on something simple. Then we don't get foul calls like I feel we should, especially Lance and Hibbert. Other than that, I'm satisfied. I like when we get out and run.

[Droid101]

How long Hibbert nuts is?

[All Net]

4 blocks already for Hibbert.

[Dro]

7 off rebounds in the first quarter...smh at the last possession though...4 chances to score....

[Dro]

Lance Stephenson:bowdown:
Also Nick Calathes:bowdown:

[MP.Trey]

Stephenson shooting like Curry :eek:

[Dro]

Also Scola :bowdown:

[All Net]

Scola was such a great pickup for the Pacers.

[Droid101]

The Pacers excite my emotions.

[ProfessorMurder]

:roll: Stephenson is bonkers.

[ProfessorMurder]

I can't believe that is a tech nowadays. :facepalm

[MP.Trey]

What a weak ass tech. :oldlol:

[Numero 10]

how is that a technical? :wtf:

[Dro]

Horrible taunting call on Lance...Tony Allen mad cause Lance is out here killing it tonight...Dude has 8 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half already, and he made Conley fall, lol..

[Andi]

Almost triple double in 1half..Damn!

[MP.Trey]

Almost triple double in 1half..Damn!
8/9/8 so far. That's a ridiculous amount of activity.

[ProfessorMurder]

Popeye Jones' reaction when talking to Stephenson :oldlol:

[Eric Cartman]

quincy pondexter broke his nose

[ProfessorMurder]

Stephenson has 11/11/8

[Rik Smits' Hair]

So far so good

[no pun intended]

Holy shit, that defensive sequence and hustle was godlike.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

Pacers are a damn well constructed team.

[Eric Cartman]

Pacers are a damn well constructed team.

Larry Legend :bowdown:

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Sweet pass Gasol

[LONGTIME]

Dirty play by Allen. That elite defense...

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Been a lot of flagrants this season.

[Eric Cartman]

don't make me kick you bitch

[Droid101]

I don't want the Pacers to trade George Hill. He'd be great off the bench for them.

[alenleomessi]

people call george raw on offense but to me it looks like he can score whenever he wants..

[KG215]

What's up with the Grizzlies this year? Aside from beating the Warriors, they haven't looked all that great. Is it the new coach? Players just off to cold starts? Or what?

[Eric Cartman]

:lol stephenson

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Allen is just fouling away

[Droid101]

That was Stevenson on the pass wasn't it? They were planning that so he could get the trip dub. So happy afterwards.

[Eric Cartman]

:lol :lol stephenson with a combination of rondo/blatche to get that tripledub.

[Dro]

:lol :lol stephenson with a combination of rondo/blatche to get that tripledub.
:lol :applause:

[alenleomessi]

this team has a potential DPOY, MVP and MIP

[It's A VC3!!!]

The pacers are a lock for the number one seed. the heat will be a lock for the number two seed and the third seed is a toss-up between the bulls and the nets( if they get their shit together). i don't know why i'd rather play in the second round.. heat or pacers...:(

[Droid101]

Their defense is alarmingly good. Like, 2004 Piston level good.

[Dro]

lol @ the Grizzlies announcers..."Now the Pacers are just clowning on the Grizzlies"...

[Droid101]

Stevenson is just having fun out there.

I love the goddamn Pacers.

[Droid101]

13-11-12 and counting. What a game.

[Dro]

I like Orlando Johnson but man he does some dumb shit...

[Dro]

Why doesn't Calathes get more playing time? He's a very good passer and playmaker...

[Eric Cartman]

bring in copeland give the people what they want!

[Heavincent]

This Pacers team...

[no pun intended]

So...why haven't the Pacers been playing Copeland more often? Gives them some perimeter game that they lack on offense.

Not enough minutes to go around I guess...PG and Lance take up most of the minutes at the 2 and 3 and Orlando Johnson and Solomon Hill have been getting the rest.

He's been hurt I thought.

[sportjames23]

When do the Pacers and Heat play? Can't wait for that.

Was I wrong? Only 90 more wins to go. There's really no stopping it.

[InspiredLebowski]

wouldn't have even been close as it was if they weren't just goofing off the last 6 or so minutes

Always tough to keep playing hard when you're up 20 with less than 6 minutes in the game. I wouldn't begrudge them a thing. It was a pretty damn flawless game.

Damn, one month. Yeah, should be a good one.

[andremiller07]

Gizz look old slow and lack scoring big time they need to make some trades

Marc Gasol for Deandre Jordan. Quick, before we don't want him any more.

Not sure they would do that imo if they keep struggling moving Z-Bo would be a option for some scoring punch off the wings and SG spot. I know it's early but there defense looks worse Prince/Allen/Z-Bo are all a year older and slower and there offense was never that good to begin with. They really should be 2-5 but the Pistons blew a game against them.

If the Grizzlies traded Marc Gasol period I would order a custom made Andre Miller Clipper jersey.

[InspiredLebowski]

If the Grizzlies traded Marc Gasol period I would order a custom made Andre Miller Clipper jersey.I know you're screwing around, but what've the Clips got to make that anything but laughable? just a thought experiment. Jordan + 2 1sts doesn't do it, not for me anyway, that's still an immediate hang up. their salary structure's fine, they'll have like 45 mil in expirings next year, so not like they need to dump Gay anymore. only Allen, Pondexter, and Conley signed past that, and all on reasonable market value deals. they'll have to lock up Gasol and figure out if they want to keep ZBo (don't), but even then they'll have money.

monetarily anyway the Grizz are in pretty decent shape. a team could do worse than rebooting around The Good Gasol and Conley with a bunch of money to spend.
