Pacers vs Pistons thread

[Champ]

This is do or die for the Pacers. They are up 25-16 at the moment.

[FleshCartoon]

1. I'd rather watch the Pacers play the Lakers. (n/t)

[Champ]

2. Me too

[FleshCartoon]

4. Do you like the way ESPN covers the games?

I prefer TNT's coverage myself. I hate ABC's coverage, and that's where the Finals are going to be broadcast.

I know this is a silly question, but I often wonder if anyone else has a preference. I would've done a poll on it if I knew how to do a poll.

PS: I'm partial to the silliness on Inside The NBA, so maybe that plays into my TNT preference.

6. I like sir charles and that gang although I can't stand tom tolbert (sp?)

[AgadorSparticus]

33. ugh. tolbert makes my skin crawl. annoying as hell..... nt

[Champ]

7. Same here

But I also like halftime/pregame/post game commentary by the ESPN crew as well. I liked hearing Stephen A. Smith's opinions for years so maybe he has something to do with it.

[FleshCartoon]

8. It seems to me...

...that ESPN cameras stay too close-up, ABC's too far away, and TNT's at just the right split of difference.

[TSIAS]

10. I like TNT

Albert, Collins, and Fratello are a good broadcast team. I also like Barkley in the Studio.

ESPN does have its advantages, though. Stephen A. Smith is entertaining to watch. He was very pissed off at halftime tonight.

[FleshCartoon]

11. Yes, he is. LOL. (n/t)

[catzies]

17. Definitely "partial to TNT's silliness!"

I watched them sign off for the summer last night after the Laker game ... and after the "Gone Fishin'" pictures of Minnesota.

Can't STAND Tolbert either, don't like anyone in the ESPN studio crowd (except Kevin Frazier) and Al Michaels will be calling it on ABC. That's just wrong; he's a football guy. I just hate ABC in general anyway and I'm mad they have the Finals broadcasts.


DISCLAIMER: catzies is not a Laker fan. Never has been and never will be. But her man Karlmalone (it's one word now) is in the hunt, so she's reluctantly and ambivalently watching.

32. did you see the big smile on his face last night?

I can't wait to see him win a ring.. he deserves it!

[catzies]

36. I was a little distracted. He was wearing only a towel.

When he does that I can't think for a few minutes.

Have you seen this yet?

[nini]

37. damn.. I missed the shirtless spot!

drool :-)


hadn't seen that pic.. they looked relaxed :-)

[Spinzonner]

3. WHo cares

:-)

[democracyindanger]

5. Yeah

When you've got David Stern in your pocket, you've got it all. :P

[Champ]

9. 33-27 halftime score

[BurnInHellFoxNews]

12. Pistons will win

Detroit: It might be a shithole, but it's MY shithole.

[Khephra]

13. The Pacers are overdue

It's finally their year.

[frylock]

14. good gawd..

I like defense, but this is ridiculous. When is the NIT over?

[nini]

20. thanks for that pic of Chick..

:-)

I was looking for that one! It's on my computer desktop now.

[frylock]

35. you're welcome!!

:hi:

[Khephra]

15. 50-46 Pacers

Start of fourth.

[Champ]

16. Damn what a low scoring game

[Khephra]

18. IND 57

DET 54

8:00 4rth

[Khephra]

19. Pacers can't get a fucking shot!

[Khephra]

21. Pistons up by 4 - 3:44 to go

Incredible ending!

[Renew Deal]

23. Pacers by 4 with 1:13 to go.

[Renew Deal]

22. This is going to be a wild finish.

[Ann Arbor Dem]

24. I love Rick Hamilton!

detroit 65

indiana 61

[Renew Deal]

29. I don't. Didn't he go to UCONN?

I am a St. Johns fan. I remember all his bullshit back in the day.

[Khephra]

25. The Pacers will always give a good finish to a season

But I don't think Reggie will be there much longer. I really want us to win one for him before he retires.

One nice thing about a Pacer game is that you can tune in the last two minutes and usually get a full game. ;-)

[maveric]

26. Both teams suck! 4th qtr and the score is in the 60's.

What has happened to the NBA?

[Renew Deal]

30. It's been a good game since I tuned in.

It's tough eastern conference ball.

[Paragon]

27. Pistons about to go to The Finals, Ben Wallace playing in Olympics

What a great day. :7

[nini]

28. arent' the finals going to be on ABC?

is it only espn? :cry: I don't have cable :-(

[TSIAS]

31. Yes

ABC will take over after the Eastern Conference Finals.

[nini]

34. thanks!

Glad I don't have to keep going to friend's house to watch.
