Official Game Thread: Hawks - Pacers GAME 2

[ag82]

Looks like the refs got the memo.

George Hill and freaking Luis Scola

[Plainview1981]

George Hill sucks, but he owned that 3rd period.

Quick question why isn't Millsap swatting that slow Scola jump/set shot right back on his hippie head?

[Sothron]

For anyone saying the refs don't decide games, go back and rewatch the jump ball in the 3rd between Lou and David West. That ref literally threw the ball up to West. There's simply no other way to describe it. Lou Williams had zero chance of even touching the ball due to the trajectory.

[BudBall]

Coach Bud kept Jeff Teague on the Bench way too long.

[Diesel]

Perfect Storm...

Bud kept the sorry second team out there too long. No timeouts. Then The REFS left there Pacers whistles in the lockerroom and they could only blow whistles on the Hawks.

This has been terrible.

I thought there were a few key calls when they made their run that sort of gave them an extra nudge. George hill trying to tackle mack. Phantom and 1 call for Stevenson.

Then again, we did almost nothing but miss threes for the entire quarter.

[Pacman21]

They just went ice cold the second half and that's the danger of a team that relies on 3s. And Bud has to stop taking Teague and Millsap out at the same time cause it kills momentum

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

We loss due to a characteristic cold 3rd quarter. It was bound to happen at some point. Nothing to worry about. We still have home court.

Terrible damn coaching and Pacers biased referees! what the *bleep* is going on with Antić?! Bud should've benched him for Moose in the 3rd quarter. Mack should never touch the court again! I'm tired of his "me first" game style. This dude's launching threes like hes Steph Curry.

Well...Hibbert did his part for us...but Scola messed it up.

I noticed that too, but thought maybe I was seeing things.

[Pacman21]

Kyle has to get more shots in game 3 even if it means forcing up a couple and Pero has to stop being scared to shoot it

[lethalweapon3]

Much of the same offensively (few assists, wayward three-pointers) as in Game 1, the difference being the Pacers cut out the Hawks' layup drill, and Mauledsap and Jeff couldn't earn any trips to the FT line. Better subs and ball movement in Games 3 and 4, and this second half becomes a distant memory! Go Hawks!

Agreed LW3... Spurs east don't panic! GO HAWKS!!!

Scola was just on with that 19 foot jumper, from the same spot, 4 straight times, that kept them in it in the first. George ripped Teague a couple times to get going, Hill and Watson made a few plays and that was that. The substitutions were no doubt questionable, and I agree either Teague or Sap have to be on the floor.

I'd much rather Lou be DNP'd. We fouled too much: their whole team, namely Hibbert, are good FT shooters. Still, I'm encouraged we closed the half with a defensive stop and 4 point lead. I'll be looking forward to a much better coached and played 3rd Thursday. Lets Go.

We're not as talented as the Pacers. I think we're better coached, maybe not last night, but overall. I knew we were going to lose last night and I stated that, but I think we still have a chance and we still stole a game...

This pathetic refereeing makes me wish the NBA had some form of challenging calls (and non-calls). Some of what i saw what night seemed blatant. Good thing i had my friend Johnnie Walker to comfort me through the pain.
