Myles Turner will play tonight against Orlando

[2006Coltsbestever]

Magic lead 32-22 after the 1st Qtr. Come on guys!

[Bluefire4]

Bad start. Would be a tough one to lose tonight but at least the Pistons lost again.

OKC helping us out again . For whatever reason we have fallen behind many games this season early but have came back to win. We will see here?

[oldunclemark]

down 55-36........a lot to overcome..again

[2006Coltsbestever]

This isn't looking good! 58-38 Magic. Not sure why we haven't shown up tonight. When we play Great, we are as great as anyone, when we play Bad we are as bad as anyone.

[oldunclemark]

...we may give up 70 in the first half again...against a last place team.

...we need all the home games remaining

In January we are Top 5 in Defense in the league. What is going on tonight?

[oldunclemark]

70-53 at the half.........embarassing..............Orlando is shooting 60% on us.

What ? are we going to have a video tribute to Frank Vogel at halftime???!!??

 

Might as well...we're trying to give him a gift win

[2006Coltsbestever]

Collison with a huge 3, still down 70-53 at Half. We just gave up 70 to the Magic in a Half. We need to pick up the D in the 3rd.

[oldunclemark]

wow....what's going on?

 

OKC's Andre Roberson tore a tendon in his leg..he may be out for the year

[Bluefire4]

It is a back to back but I thought we would come with more energy than this. I guess it was about time that the Magic beat us since they never have with Vogel as coach.

 

I still expect us to be the 7th seed going into the playoffs so I'm not going to act like we are a top 4 team this year or that it is shocking that a bad team can come in and catch us sleeping.

[Colts_Fan12]

Of course we will play like crap some scrub team always gets to play us on a back to back after we play a good team 

[oldunclemark]

we've seen this act before....................one half comedy... one half drama

They should never beat us with that team

[oldunclemark]

   a 7-2 run in the first 90 seconds......lead is down to 72-60

He's out for the year, OKC will still be ok as they still have that Big4 in Westy, PG, Melo, and Adams. Ferguson will just get more playing time.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Pacers only down by 11 now, who knows can we comeback again?

No. No..They need him to defend people....

He's like Thad Young defensively....for the Pacers..If he cant come back, that;s a big loss..

[oldunclemark]

Mike Conley out for the year for Memphis..but he hadn't played much anyway.

we do this....and its so hard..without much depth....

I hope all these 20-point comebacks and near comebacks don't drain us for March and April...

...its 78-69 now

[oldunclemark]

  4 fouls on Sabonis...he doesn't get many breaks

[oldunclemark]

Myles Turner has 4 fouls, too...and that;s a problem

 

This isnt the game for Big Al ..too fast

 

 

[oldunclemark]

     Down 92-84 after 3 Qs....They are still shooting 59%...we're closer

 

still..Orlando has 92 points in 3 quarters

[oldunclemark]

      5 fouls on Turner...8:22 left......still 101-92

Yes his Defense will be missed but he had little to no Offense and teams were doing the Hack of Roberson on him because he cant make FT's either.

[2006Coltsbestever]

That was awful! a 6 point swing, we miss a 3 and they make one. Down 10 again. Why is it that these scrub teams we play make 3's on us and they stink vs everyone else. Makes 0 sense. The Magic are shooting like Reggie Miller

Might not be a coincidence that they started winning when  he returned from injury.

He wasnt there to score

These scrubs like them and the Lakers are lucky we play them on back to backs or we would destroy them 

[oldunclemark]

Lance has 18..Victor has 18...Thad Young has 20

 

...but we need more...down 106-96...with just 6:15 left

Only time will tell if it will hurt them, he is no doubt a solid Defender.

[oldunclemark]

Sabonis, Lance, Victor, Thad Young and Collision in for the final 5 minutes

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lance for 3! Pacers only down 3 now.

[oldunclemark]

The rally is on..Lance has 21...106-103 now.....

[2006Coltsbestever]

Sabonis, 1 point game!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Dipo, Pacers lead!!

[oldunclemark]

 Biyombo can block shots but he just throws up bricks on offense

[2006Coltsbestever]

Sabonis slams it! Pacers up 3.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Sabonis and 1, we are on fire baby! Up 5

[oldunclemark]

      We have overcome..a 20-point lead again.....up 109-106

 

Orlando is in total retreat
