Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
Let's start with the West Coast trip. I'd like us to go 2-1 there. Then, we can build on that.

Pacers better not lose 6 of the next 7. If they can't do any better then that then Larry needs to take a real hard look at some players that can get the job done.
Off season is up now, it's time to get the offense going and start performing like we all know they can. Pacers keep the defense up and increase their shot % by 10%, not to many teams will be able to overcome the Pacers.
1-6 my a s s!Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOLComment

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
Vogel said he wanted to be at least 500 on the road. His expectations are higher. They should be if you truly think you can win the east. The team that wins the east will be better than 500 on the road. What I am saying is that if you say you would be happy getting 2 out of 4 on the road, you are settling for mediocre. Why would you do that?Comment

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
"Separation Week" is upon us! Two games vs the Magic, a regular season rematch in Chicago, and another trip into the always hostile TD Banknorth Garden. We'll have a chance to separate ourselves from a playoff-positioning rival in Orlando (also sitting at 11-4) and a chance to narrow the perceived gap between us and the Bulls. Then, we'll have an opportunity to win the season series against Boston.
Improving to 6-0 at home and remaining only one of two teams league-wide without a home loss would be nice. Removing Chicago as the only other perfect home team would be even better.
An 0-4 week would be disastrous, but a 4-0 week would be miraculous. And by miraculous, I don't mean that it'd take a miracle to pull off (though it will be extremely difficult), but that it would do wonders for our confidence going further. I'd imagine we'd be in the contender discussion - and rightfully so - with a strong enough four-game stretch here.Last edited by LG33; 01-23-2012, 04:31 PM.Comment

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
Let's start with improving to 6-0 and then winning at least one of the next 3 away games. Do that and we would be good. Do better and we would be great.Originally posted by IrishPacer

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
We have a small benefit in the fact that the Magic play tonight before they play against us tomorrow. I think winning that will be huge, winning it and the back to back against Chicago in their house is probably asking for too much but that sure would be sweet to take down two of the top dogs in the East a notch in a back to back situation.Comment

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
Deng is expected out for an extended period of time, and Rose has admitted he won't be 100 percent for the rest of the season, several other bulls players are suffering injuries too. It's not as out of the question as it may appear.Goodbye Captain, My Captain. I wish you had the chance to sink or swim with your ship on its quest for the "ship".Comment

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
EGAD! That is a tough stretch of schedule. We're looking at 4 of the best teams in the NBA, one of them 3 times, all within a two weeks and mostly on the road? If we can go 4-4 or better, I'll be pretty happy. Really, pretty impressed if it's better than 4-4.
The best part about this is that last year, we would've been hoping to beat the Nets and Wolves, and pretty much conceding the rest of these games to losses.
If Roy brings the same level of play he did last night, and Danny and G3 can continue to shoot efficiently, I really do like our chances.It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.Comment

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
Surprises, injuries, let downs are always possible, but I really think we'll go at least 2-2 over the next four. 3-1 wouldn't surprise me at all. 4-0/0-4/1-3 would.Comment

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
Obviously this is a good time to bump this thread.
Chicago is tonight and could be pretty darn painful. Just remember that we are just a few weeks from being past this and to a point where things would appear to grow more favorable every week.
Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em.

Re: Here comes the hammer - hang in there
The thanks is for the MC Hammer reference. This is the part of the year where we are going to take our lumps and figure out what we really need to do to be successful. If we can't make the proper adjustments and utilize those adjustments in our late season stretch to get comfortable with them, then we are in trouble come playoff time."Your course, your path, is not going to be like mine," West says.
