Im ok with Hibbert not being an asset on offense everygame. But I am getting sick and tired of him being a liability. Sorry I know we won, but thats my one take away from the game.

Undefeated in February. Wins over the Heat and the Bulls. Beautiful. I predicted a loss tomorrow, but I'll happily eat crow if we win that one.

Luckily for him Noah didn't play today or it would have been horrible to watch.

My thoughts exactly. Let me add, I don't care if he cannot score as a primary option, but when he can't score on put backs, broken plays, and when he is set up nicely by his teammates, then there is a problem...... And that was the case tonight

Part of the difficulty with Hibbert right now is that his offensive woes are well-known to the refs, who aren't giving him the benefit of the doubt on the offensive side of the ball. He got mugged a couple of times with no call.

Still plenty of awful plays by Roy tonight, but a couple of those weren't his fault.

when he is set up nicely by his teammates

I hope you're not counting that Paul George bullet pass as a "nice set up."

Pacers will not lose to the Hawks Tuesday night.

They've been our kryptonite for years.

Re: Pacers/Bulls Postgame Thread 2/4/13

Very pleased we won. Not that pleased with how we played. The turnovers, decision making, lack of court awareness, making an lame Belinelli look like an offensive juggernaut (even though he was on fire), etc. Glad they didn't have Noah...let along Rose. Still, losing would have stung given those guys out.

I love beating the Bulls.

That is all.

Re: Pacers/Bulls Postgame Thread 2/4/13

I said it in the game thread, Noah not playing was more beneficial to the Bulls than Hibbert play was to the Pacers. (OMG a hyperbole! don't jump down my throat now) Absolutely infuriating to watch. I love Roy, i've stayed patient, but damn he was awful. Painful to watch that stretch in the fourth.

Beat the league's best road team to extend the league's second best home winning streak (after San An at 18). I'll take it.

Anyone got the Paul George oop?

True dat but I expect us to lose the one against Philly. Just a hunch though.
