Game Thread: Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers Thread

[MHSL82]

This thread is for all game threads, articles, videos, comments, etc. on the Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers series. I doubt there will be enough discussion in any one game to warrant individual games. This website has a timestamp, so it'll be easy to tell what game we're talking about.

It's too bad there were 3 games scheduled today. I quickly browsed through today's game. Wish I had seen Teague's game more thoroughly.

Actually, I probably picked the wrong two games to focus on tonight. Instead of OKC-MEM and LAC-GSW, I probably should have done IND-ATL and OKC-MEM. I don't think LAC-GSW will be good.

They said that Atlanta is 4th in assists, and first in percentage of assisted baskets (66%).

I enjoyed game 6.

Let's go Hawks for game 7!

Paul George has had a pretty good series.

Hibbert second All-Star in NBA Playoff history to have two back-to-back scoreless games. Note, obviously, the requirement is being an All Star. Many non-All Stars go multiple games in a row with no scores.

Indiana's coach actually had to field a question asking if it was a blessing Hibbert picked up his second foul so early. Pretty shitty question if you ask me. If you don't ask me, pretty shitty not to ask me. I mean, come on. What's he going to say? It unfairly implies something if he doesn't refute it but Hibbert can't be said to be performing well. He ended up saying that it was a normal rotation and that he left when he was going to leave anyway and that something about doing a good job (in his role or whatever).

Darn it, Williams. We almost got it. He shot 6 for 12. Boo.

Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks - Box Score - May 01, 2014 - ESPN

 

[MHSL82]

He's 7 foot 2 and shoots 43.9% for the regular season and 30% for the playoffs (25% in last 5)? He gets only 6.6 rebounds. I didn't know Hibbert was worse than Ostertag offensively.

Could any of this be because of his comments? Could the selfish Pacers be giving him the ball in bad situations? Sabotage.

Good post.

(Were you up with one of your robotettes at that time? Because usually you don't post at that time.)

I have no sense if time with kids. I'm doing one thing or another. In this case, though, I was working on a legal project. Bill for Sports SportsHoopla time. For the ethics police, I'm kidding. For everyone else, ain't bilking clients fun? For ethics police, that, too, was a joke. Everyone else:

Let's go Teague, George, Brand, West.

Millsap misses a one on zero layup.

 

[nuraman00]

Korver layup.

 

[nuraman00]

Hibbert 8 points.

 

[nuraman00]

Another 4 point play in the playoffs!

Korver Time.

2nd of the playoffs for Korver.

Millsap's first FG to start the 3rd.

 

[nuraman00]

Atlanta sets the single game record with 42 3-point attempts. They also have the series record for most 3-point attempts.

How can a team set the record for most 3's in a series (79) and lose?

(Atlanta).
