Pacers/Hawks game 3 recap

Should Hibbert be benched? I don't think so. He just a pep talk. Feed him the ball and tell him to dunk it. He needs to get tough maybe even watch some film of how Shaq would do. This is the NBA playoffs. This team has proven what it takes to be a contender. The problem is they are just now realizing that you have to do it night in and night out. They were so hype on getting the #1 seed and getting got them down 2-1 in the series. The Hawks believe they can beat them and when you play a team that you are better than and they believe that can be you. Then you are in a dangerous place. The Pacers shut up critics in game 2 but they have to win the series. They are too focused on the Heat whom they may not play in the finals. They need to re-establish their goals. Take it 1 game at a time. Paul George needs to step up as the leader of this team. Indiana shot a 25% (5for 20) from the three point line inwhich they have to get better. The Hawks shot 35%. The Hawks out played them in the 3rd quarter 28-20. The Hawks just have their number right now & Pacers need to answer.No one is going to give you a championship you have to earn it. The bright spot for Indiana is that Scola is playing much better than in game 1. I believe the Hawks will still win the series.

Pacers/Hawks recap game 1

I wasn't at all surprised that the Hawks beating the Pacers. At half time the score was tied up & when a team feels like they have a chance to win. Then they can play better than expected. The Pacers struggled on offensive late in the season. The lost against the Cavs big & the Hawks feel like they have a chance. If the Pacers don't get it together then they will be at home. They wanted the #1 and they got it. Sometimes you can bite off more than you can chew. The momentum has swung in the Hawks favor. The Hawks won in the 3rd quarter 30-16. Jeff Teague had a playoff career in 28 points. We have to remember that the Hawks are 3-0 at the center against the Pacers. Just keep that in mind because they feel like they can beat the Pacers and they proved that in Game 1. George had a great game leading in 5 categories for the Pacers 24 points, 1o rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks. The Hawks came out firing on all cylinders with 16-2 run to start the game. What good is it to have the #1 seed and you can't make to the finals. A championship is still a championship depsite what seed you start with. The Pacers have to play their game and bring the momentum back in their favor but it will very difficult. Indiana did have some positive things to pull from this game they lead in rebounds, points in the paint, offensive rebounds, fast break points and turnovers a category that you don't want to lead in. Game 2 back in Indiana

Rockets/Blazers Game 1 recap

This was a great game to watch. The Rockets gave the game away. When Aldridge & Lopez went out. The Rockets should have put their foot on the gas pedal. They took the Blazers bench players lightly. I do believe the refs made a bad call when Howard traveled then again he was called for his 6th foul so I guess it balances itself out. You have to give credit to the Blazers for stepping up. The Blazers also played good defense on Harded down the stretch. Aldridge played like a man on a misson. It's playoff time. Play Hard or Go Home.
