Darnell – I’m going to make this easier and post as Mike 2. “Stop making stuff up like a douchebag liar to push some wierd agenda and I’ll stop pointing out that you’re a douchebag liar.” Great one Darnell, you are really crushing some feelings on the board.

“even if your 5th grade English doesn’t allow you to analyze the game in any sort of interesting way. You are talking out of your ass about attendance though, and I’m glad you don’t go to games. This city is so bandwagon it’s pathetic.” There are so many factual references here I don’t know where to start. You give such great examples then counter them with razar sharp commentary of your own.
Let me fill you in. If you pay taxes in Indianapolis you support the Pacers. We built the Fieldhouse and drop ~15 mil a year from the CITY budget to maintain the place and the Pacers pay what to maintain their facilities? NOTHING. Second, seeing as every tax payer is in a way a “season ticket holder” the team has A FUCKING TON of support, even if we can’t make it out to the fieldhouse to shell out $200 to watch the Pacers play like a bunch of pathetic highschoolers. No points in the last 4 minutes? DG travels and missed two free throws? To win the game? Isn’t he the CAPTAIN? The Pacers are a BUSINESS and I will not FURTHER support a BUSINESS that time after time puts out a crappy PRODUCT. Win a damn playoff game at home when our starting center is 6 inches taller than their best inside player. Quit being an apologist, the Pacers are a WAY WAY better team than the Magic, especially now. They should win every game by 10+ instead of getting beat by the ancient Jason Richardson and Jameere Nelson, and embarrassed at home.

[...] proximate causes of the Pacers’ game one loss have been well discussed. Missed shots, turnovers, missed free throws, and a four-minute scoreless [...]

Yeah there are so many people posting on this board right now, you definitely didn’t write that. What a lame comment, at least own what you said. Stop making stuff up like a douchebag liar to push some wierd agenda and I’ll stop pointing out that you’re a douchebag liar. I’m not arguing with your points about the game which you obviously watched therefore have a little insight on, even if your 5th grade English doesn’t allow you to analyze the game in any sort of interesting way. You are talking out of your ass about attendance though, and I’m glad you don’t go to games. This city is so bandwagon it’s pathetic. It’s no wonder the Colts already have tickets available with “fans” like Mike.

Ha. What a joke. ^ There is more than one Mike on this board. Nice job of making an ass of YOURSELF. I will even agree with the other Mike. 77 points at home against an undermanned team was embarrassing. No points in the last 5 minutes. Embarrassing. We had our chance to show the national crowd, who consistently downplay our talent, that we mean business. Coming out flat in game one and losing the most winnable game out of all the match-ups was, again, embarrassing.

Darnell, we don’t need this ridiculous banter on this board. We’ve stayed away from it for as long as I’ve been posting (at least a couple years). No need to start trolling now.

And then Mike makes more of an ass of himself by saying the Pacers need to give free stuff out when in fact every fan got a rally towel at the game last night. You’re a moron Mike, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m glad you don’t go to games. we don’t need jerkoffs like you in the arena.

Great sellout crowd last night. The rally towels were great. People were standing the entire fourth quarter and it was loud. Assholes like Mike were not missed at all.

Day late and a dollar short… but talking about attendance, marketing and everything.. did anyone see the stands the game right after ours? OKC and Dal? Everyone in the stands getting a blue T shirt? Rally towels? At first I thought it was a Dallas game and Cuban was paying for it, but then I realized it was at OKC. Where is that kind of stuff for Pacers games? 18,000 seats. You can order that stuff in bulk for probably a dollar or two per item. Not a lot of cash. Those kinds of things get fans in the stands. T’s and free souvenirs. When you go to a pacers game, you don’t walk away with anything tangible besides watching the game. For most people, that’s not worth the time and effort to get to a game. I’m sorry, but that’s the reality.

Hey mike stop going to games you bandwagon douche bag. Typical indy fan this is a horseshit town.

Jared, write more articles about attendance. No reason to mention the sellout crowd, just write negative stories using numbers that don’t tell the complete story you hack.

This is why the Pacers attendence is down. Lose the games they should win, when it is most important. THIS WAS EMBARRASSING!!!

Somehow I had a feeling that the Pacers would lose this game.

I think it’s because it’s sort of a pattern they’ve shown all seasons. They get really up against the good teams, and take care of business against the bad teams. But the mediocre teams? The ones worse than them but not appreciably worse? I think they overestimate themselves and come out flat against those teams, and that is what Orlando is. It’s a worse team than the Pacers especially without Howard, but it’s still got solid players and is playing pissed off right now.

Danny went cold before he sat two games as he shot 35.8% on 65 shots over his final 4 games of the RS with his FG% falling in each of the games. What sucks is he had made 95 of his last 100 FT and missed 3 today!
