Martin's defense, while not great, hasn't hurt us much this year.

DUMB Foul. What were we saying about Martin's d not hurting us?

Yeah, poor play. Fortunately George missed both.

Wow.30% shooting to their 50 and we are down by 2. Good job drawing fouls.

Not a bad first half. Our ability to draw fouls is huge right now.

In addition to only shooting 32%, the Wolves only shot 4 threes. Again Hibbert makes his presence known. Having a rim protector backing them up allows the Pacers' perimeter defenders to aggressively guard the perimeter. It's why they are among the leaders in fewest threes given up.

I love ripping the referees as much as anyone when things don't go our way, but there's no denying they kept us in the game in that half. At least three terrible calls went our way.

LOL.....i was sort of thinking that people would understand that I was speaking of his D when view through the course of the first 15 games.

I was not trying to imply that any defender ever makes a bad play at one point or another.

I'll try to be clearer for you in the future.

I was just noting the timely nature of bringing up his D. I understand what you were saying. I also agree. Just funny as soon as we praise someone they make such a horrible play.

Martin Needs to see the bench. He is way off tonight.

Rubio doing the things he does well. Getting easy buckets.
