Yes Melo had a bad game. You can't win them all. What happened to Copeland? He didn't play. Melo was off today. All I can say is that look how many games he won for us but today he had a bad game. And for all those who think we can win a championship with out him you are dreaming or smoking dope.

Agree, Woody was off his game today. When he decide to play Q instead of Cope, I knew we were in for a long day. That guy can't score for cramp. I think woody is more to blame for this lost than anyone else. I really home Woody's brain come back When JR does.

Copeland was like a deer in headlights in game one..He couldn't even hold the ball let alone shoot...He is done for the year...

This was game four. Q could make a point blank layup and he was pretty much wide open. Cope has been there from day one this season. Q came from his coach and played critical minutes in the second, which doesn't make sense to me.

Copeland handled the ball twice in game one and turned it over twice...He bobble once under tha basket with no one around him...A coach can tell by looking at the kid..U think Woody don't want another scorer...He isn't ready for this type of intensity...I'm not sure if I would call Q's minutes critical...

I think they will handle the Pacers too. Home court is a big deal since the Pacers, oddly for a defensive team, are not a good road team. They seem to lack the firepower and Hibbert has underachieved.

Im starting to question how big of an effect he has now. There was a lot of isos this game depsite him being on the court.

Since when did Iso become such a dirty word, Jordan won 6 rings going Iso...You will need Iso in spurts in the playoffs...Bron is making his passes of Isoball right now as well speak...

1. We need J.R.- He is a huge part of our offensive attack and hopefully this served him to be more mature on the court the rest of this run.

2. We need more Felton- He was amazing this game. We need him this active the rest of this run.

3. Shump brings it- Iman needs to build from this game and keep playing this way the rest of the way.

4. Amar'e will help- This was a game that showed how Stat can help us as another scoring option off the bench.

5. Woody needs to bring back Cope- Coming into the playoffs, Cope had become an important asset off the bench. He may have struggled in the first two games, but we need him! Woody can't hurt his confidence like that, playing Q before Cope. He needs to find a way to integrate Cope to the game. We needed offense this game and Cope would've helped. We need him for this run.

PACERS scored 69 points the other night.. I was like WTF? LOL not good... although, they do have depth and can really grind out games, their offense can be somewhat a mystery at times...

We're not talking about guys like Tyson that only dunk the ball. The only issue STAT has is that he's had poor health. There's NOTHING wrong with his game. We could've used STAT in a game like today!!!

i have always been an amare fan, and honestly, I am also surprised at how many fans are down on the guy as well... when he was healthy, he was a heck of a player for us...

Cope needs a chance to get the jitters out and you can't do that if you get a quick hook and no other opportunity to come back into the game after having a bad start. Gotta stick with the guys that got you there.

Quick hook??..they guy had two consecutive turnovers in the playoffs..A coach more than any knows whether or not his player is ready...

I wonder if the Pacers are mentally tough enough to win a game of attrition. The celtics showed some grit even if they have no hope of winning. Something about Hibbert's personality makes me wonder-- maybe it's a certain passivity.

hibbert has had a somewhat dissapointing year
