GRRR Pacers...GRRR
I think that the Pacers have lost the last 5 or 6 home games I have been to. This started right around Christmas with the Pistons/Pacers game. I had tickets to a the Phoenix game in January, but I was out of town so I had to give them away. They one that one! Ok..the reason why I am so upset is because of last nights game. We played Toronto, which is definately not the best team in the NBA. I thought it was going to be a blowout game. There was one point that the Pacers were ahead 18 points and I was thinking "maybe we should start our second-rate players more often, maybe we will do better." This is because Scot Pollard started instead of Jeff Foster. You can imagine my excitement because I love Scot Pollard. Also, Anthony Johnson started for Jamaal Tinsley because Tinsley was hurt. Too bad..right..nevermind. Tinsley is definately my least favorite Pacer. Ok, back to the game. So by the time 4th quarter comes around, our lead has diminished, but we are still ahead. We stay ahead until about 4 minutes to go, and then they pull ahead by two. Fast forward...less than 22 seconds to go, we have the ball, and we are down by one. Somebody fouls Krosher..the crowd goes wild because in our minds, Krosher has a free chance to win this. He makes both shots, so we are up by one with 1.9 seconds to go. Toronto calls a time-out so they can start with the ball on their side. Two freakin' seconds! Well, Stephen Jackson fouls somebody, with .4 seconds to go. Jalen Rose...former pacers player..has a chance for two shots. He makes both, we lose by 1 point. I was so distraught. They lost on Monday to the 76ers by one point also. Hopefully we will shape up, or else we won't make the playoffs...come on!
