18 and 7 in 5 minutes..and hes' what?   73 years old?

He's Kareem tonight  

[oldunclemark]

Lowry has 8 points and 5 turnovers

[oldunclemark]

4 fouls on DeRozen..he'll have to sit, too

[oldunclemark]

If we see Toronto in the playoffs....I think it will be recalled that they don't seem to have much of an answer for Al Jefferson

[oldunclemark]

72-68..I guess DeRozen is going to play with four fouls....He's taken a half dozen shots this quarter

[2006Coltsbestever]

Only up 3 now. We have had numerous chances to go up big!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Gigantic 3 from Collison, Pacers back up 4.

[oldunclemark]

We're going to go without a center for the final minute of the quarter..

.....Got to give Al some rest and save Myles

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lance WoooooooHoooooo! Back up by 4!

[oldunclemark]

79-77 after 3.....a very good game...

[2006Coltsbestever]

After 3, Pacers 79-77. Whoever wins the 4th wins the game.

Yep. We are basically shorthanded too without Sabonis and Myles playing injured. Hopefully they don't go on some 3 point shooting fluke. They look tired to me. Derozan and Lowry both look exhausted.

[oldunclemark]

Big Al again and Again...20 points and 10 rebounds...

 

But its tied 81-81

[2006Coltsbestever]

We need Bogdanovic to make a couple of 3's here to open things up and Lance and Dipo to take over.

[oldunclemark]

I don't know who Siakim is....I'm just being honest

 

and I'm not sure who Van Fleet is

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lance for 2!

[2006Coltsbestever]

I don't either and he is playing like Dr J

[oldunclemark]

CJ Miles has been a non factor...(thankfully)  no points at all

 

whoops..spoke too soon, didn't I?

Collison from downtown! Yeah baby!

18 points..and no turnovers...

Big Al gave us all he could....20 points and 11 rebounds in 22  minutes

 

Here come Myles Turner with 7:00 to go

[2006Coltsbestever]

Miles, really

[oldunclemark]

Might have to get lance out of there...the game has turnwed.   Three 3s for CJ Miles (why couldn't I just have kept my mouth shut)

[Bluefire4]

CJ Miles is doing what he does best. Starters have to finish strong here.

They are both playing very well this year as is their bench as a whole. Hopefully we can still pull this one out.

I used to like him

[2006Coltsbestever]

This isn't looking good. Freakin fluky butthead Miles thinks he is Larry Bird!

[2006Coltsbestever]

I have to say we are battling being short handed. Myles Turner is done for the night.

[Bluefire4]

Apparently Myles Turner hurt his ankle again but they wouldn't show the replay. I know this is a big game but we will make the playoffs regardless.

 

Myles should have just stayed out if he wasn't feeling well. No reason to risk further damage like what just happened...

Yeah..he's clearly not right......and without Domas....we're outmanned

exactly right

[Bluefire4]

Well I know Sabonis is out and Myles hasn't played much but the Raptors kill us on the boards every time we play them.

[oldunclemark]

we could be without Turner AND Sabonis Saturday night at Washington

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lowry for 3 cry out an out loud! Oh well we played great considering the circumstances. Maybe we need to rest some guys and settle for maybe a 5 or 6 seed? I would rather have everyone healthy going into the Playoffs then have everyone worn out or a player or 2 being injured and finishing 3rd or 4th.

[oldunclemark]

With Victor and Bogdonavic shooting poorly...its  a miracle we were close in this game.

 

102-96 with a minute to go

[Bluefire4]

Well we know Sabonis will miss the Wizards game and I'm guessing Myles will miss it as well.

 

We have a tough schedule so the injuries may cost us a lot... thank goodness we signed Trevor Booker though.

 

I don't see a possible way that we miss the playoffs with everybody whiffing on their Pistons projections, but we could fall a lot without those two guys.

[oldunclemark]

Still alive..:25 second s left..Collison with a big night..102-99

Booker is going to get to play and I'm sure that's what he wants..

..and Big Al always gets a few points

[2006Coltsbestever]

Actually tonight proved to me we can play with these guys. This loss doesn't really hurt because we won at Boston and at Philly. It is what it is, on to Washington.

[oldunclemark]

That's it...we just didn't shoot well and we didn't rebound well..

Jefferson and Collison kept us in it...
