    The trick with defenses such as Indiana is to not stand around with the ball. Make quick moves and shoot early in the shot clock. Don't let their defense get SRT. I don't think Harden got the memo. His decision making is slow this game and he is hesitating allowing the Pacers to set up their D

    The Pacers D has been as expected and Rox not moving ball as well as they need to but Rox are hanging in there.

    Harden was playing excellent defense on George towards the end there. Love it.

    Sidenote: The bench is 0-4.

    The whole team needs to be more decisive with their ball movement, and shot selection. I actually like the defensive effort the guys are giving so far.

    Hate when Dwight goes baseline. Should be using the jab step, spin move that Hakeem has drilled.

    Harden needs to attack Hibbert on the pnr when his defender gets caught on the Howard screen. When Hibbert comes out of the restricted area just drive by him.

    No, they're not. The Pacers are leading pretty much every category so far except blocks.

    Also, I'd love it if Omri Casspi decided to stop playing like stale ass.

    Would be nice if we had Asik. Put him on Hibbert and Howard on West.

    I didn't mean better than the other team. I just meant better than how they started.
