Post-Game Grades: Whatever

There is no way I’m analyzing or taking the time to grade the performances of guys who participated in the dumbest game I’ve ever watched. Enjoy the Super Bowl, Indiana. Stay safe and legal. Everyone gets a C except Tyler, Lou and Lance who can each have an A.

Paul George Swats Chris Duhon

All respect due to Paul George for an excellent block here but it was really the great hound-dog, full-court pressure Darren Collison put on Chris Duhon that forced him to take such a weak, swattable shot. (via @Jose3030)

Last time I did a Twitter Preview vs. the Orlando Magic, I didn’t know what to make of this Pacer team. They were completing one of those lose-the-games-they-should-win-but-win-the-games-they-should-lose weeks that – in the past – were the hallmark of mediocre teams. This time around, I’m simply not sure how to contain my growing excitement over the way the Pacers are playing. Last night’s win in Dallas was, in my opinion, their most impressive victory in a very long time. Between that, and Paul George’s heroics, I am unable to contain myself to just 140 seconds tonight.

I promise not to make this a regular occurrence.

You can follow Jared Wade (@8pts9secs) and I (@TimDonahue8p9s) during the game on Twitter for the Pacers’ side. From the Magic side, keep up with Eddy Rivera (@erivera7) and be sure to check out our True Hoop sister site: MagicBasketball.net.

Well, that’s the housekeeping. Let the gushing begin! (Actual Game Preview content starts at 5:00 mark.)

For my fellow stat geeks and obsessive-compulsives, I give you the fact sheets.

From Elias Sports Bureau:

From Elias: Indiana quickly erased a three-point halftime deficit and rolled to a 21-point victory at Orlando. The Pacers outscored the Magic by 24 points in the second half (58-34), by far their largest second-half edge in any of 83 regular-season meetings with Orlando. Indiana’s previous high was a 17-point margin after the intermission in April 1993.
