I may be wrong on this - but I'm pretty sure that Coach Frank is riding a 19 game losing streak right now.

Indy is dumping the ball in to West vs. Jerebko to start the game, he has one offensive foul, one miss and one hoop after 3 trips down the floor, and Jonas has 2 buckets of his own.

Holding his own thus far.

Pretty good start. Monroe to Jonas is working it.

We really need to use Moose's passing ability more.

Max is completely worthless. They need to pay him to never play again.

We have more boards (14-10) and assists (8-5).
They are winning the Fts battle (5-6, 2-2).

If not for TOs, we could have been winning by 7-8.

And just like that, we are +9.

Another easy pass to Greg inside.

We are playing the best ball of the season.

Somehow I have this gut wrenching feeling we might loose the lead in the third. Hope they remember what happened last night in Boston on third.

The difference in this game has been david west's creaky knees. He mauled Jonas in the post the first game, but tonight on the second leg of a back-to-back, he can barely move out there, and Jonas is whipping him on both ends of the floor.

Stuckey was a bit indecisive on the last drive
as if playing for a foul.

But he was great during the last few minutes
(except for that last drive).

I like the D a lot
and I like that we attack early, with lots of time on the clock.

JJ was fabulous, 7-11, 2-2 from the arch, 7 boards, 16 points.

by the way, as bad as Austin seemed to play (0-3)
we were +10 during 5 minutes with him on the floor

The defense just simply swarmed all rebounds....JJ energy is being used well....He is on the wing then cutting to the basket and saying to the guy guarding him....can you stay with me?

stuck/ben/knight are looking very nice as well.....right now(in this game) the weak spot is prince/daye (doing good on granger though)....prince does not seem right yet....BenWa seems to have a bit more touch around the rim this year so far...

Love the way Moose is playing....

we are not shying away from contact this game that is for sure...

shown some moves in the post for sure
and some ability to finish, too.

The Old Warrior.

By the way, I wish he had those moves in his arsenal consistently
like, years ago... Sad he never developed that.

By the way, this shake by Stuckey in the post was like Hakeem's shake.

we are passing the ball like crazy
Stuckey and Knight have 6 assists each (and only one To each)
Gordon has 5 dishes

I love how we play.

BTW, Monroe seems to really like to bang in the low post.
Don't you think?!

Wow we are clicking on all cylinders.

Monroe looks pretty darn comfortable with his back to the basket, doesn't he?

Gordon looks like Pre-Pistons BG.

JJ is playing great and looks to have his speed.

Stuck and TP look to be in better shape for sure.
