HUGE WIN!!!
Oh my god. I cannot believe what I just saw. A 20+ point lead v. the Celtics and forcing Doc Rivers to basically give up and sit his stars with 5 min in the game. I never thought I’d see that from Pacers basketball this year.
This shows how this team can play and shows that they could be a playoff team after all. They don’t even have Mike Dunleavy and they did this. The small lineup of Ford, Jack, Daniels, Granger and Foster/Murphy tore apart Boston. The ball movement was great. The shot selection was great. Attaking the basket was great. Defense was great. All these things were good and added up to a W. This team is buying into O’Brien’s offense and it is paying off. They were fun to watch tonight playing so much team basketball and executing it.
On top of all of this, the fans packed the fieldhouse and were in the game from the start. That is the most important part in my books. They neede the fan base back and that was a good start.

I TiVo’d the game, and got to watch it at about 2AM. After seeing Danny Granger hit his first three, i said, “this game will be great”. I was sleepy, but watching this game filled me with hope and energy. I am loving this Pacers team; I still cannot believe we beat the Celtics convincingly. Rush had difficulties, but he’s gonna be great for us. Big Roy, he’s gonna be great for us as well. Team play will be our winning formula, with Danny leading the way. And our defense? UNBELIEVABLE!!! Way to go Pacers. By the way Jon, what do you think about the Pacers pursuing LaMarcus Aldridge in the off-season or during this season, and what do you think will happen to Jamaal Tinsley?

The game on Saturday WAS a lot of fun to watch. I got to work next to the home side basket close enough to see Danny Granger’s bloody mouth. I hope there are more of these games to come!
Keep up the great blogging, Jon!
