AROUND the NBA:

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

I got to admit I wasn't following the game very closely last night.  Checked in a little in the first half.  Saw Indy had 18 first half turnovers.  Wow.  Turned it off and checked a few times in the third and saw it was between 12-15 when I looked.  Then I saw a message that it was within  in the fourth and decided to turn in.  I am still not sure how Indy got it to one with the last possession.  they just chip, chip, chip and then boom.  Amazing.

I can't imagine what it would feel like to be an Indy fan right now.  I guess probably similar to fans of the 2011 Mavs.  I am sure it is an awesome run and just hoping lady luck does not run out for another week or two.

Good comparison.  We had only Dirk as an allstar, littered with complimentary players around him.  IND has Siakom, Halliburton, and a bunch of good complimentary players.

Yes, I hope Carisle finally brings a chip to IND.  As a fan, I'm hoping for a great 7 game series.  Last night did not disappoint.
