The Postgame Online!!

Since I lack the time and ability to shoot, edit, and upload an entire pre-game vlog before the game starts, my editor decided he wanted me to write my pre-game notes in blog format instead, simply because it’s a faster and easier.

Indiana Pacers vs. Philadelphia 76ers

Coming off of two great wins against Boston and Charlotte, the Pacers make their way to Philly to take on a team that basically mirrors our own, according to SmitsHappens.com.

Darren Collison/Jrue Holiday: Young point gaurds drafted in 2009 and are hoped to be the point guards of the future. They’ve both shown some major flashes, yet neither of them have busted through.

Andre Iguodala/ Danny Granger: Faces of the future through rebuilding stages. Both have been center of trade rumors for years and have been on the tipping point of superstar conversation.

Paul George/ Thaddeus Young: Long young players who should both be really playing the small forward spot despite certain circumstances. Great defensively. Their teams could go to a whole other level if they fullfil their potential.

Elton Brand/ David West: Older power forwards on younger teams. Each making eight figures. Injury problems have slowed each of them down. Great offensive game around basket and great fifteen foot jumpers.

Spencer Hawes/ Roy Hibbert: Young seven footers who are averaging double-doubles and over a block a game.

George Hill/Lou Williams: Combo guards who come off the bench to provide sparks. Also, you guessed it, both young. George and Lou are 25.

I’ll be mentioning these match-ups a couple of times, particularly because our own starting lineup has changed for the worst.

Roster notes:

• Jrue Holiday can out-Collison DC; driving to the hoop, passing well, and scoring relentlessly.
• Danny Granger was formerly a game-time decision, due to food poisoning, but has already been decided to not be playing. 
• George Hill is still a game-time decision, due to his sore back from his wrap-up with Gerald Henderson. If he plays, he will be starting in Paul George’s spot, with Paul replacing Granger at small forward.
• Roy Hibbert is said to be playing, but will his ankle injury lessen his abilities against Spencer Hawes? Hibbert got beat out by Boris Diaw and Byron Mullens vs. Charlotte, so will he be able to defend and fight against Hawes?

Tweets:

• If plays end up being ran for Paul, as they should be, we should see a great performance out of 2Much4You tonight.

The game is about to start, so I’m going to get back to schoolwork and allow for this post to have time to sink in. Thanks for reading, and go Pacers!
