  2. New 8p9s: Post-Game Grades: Pacers Get Smoked in Game 6, Let Miami Run Wild bit.ly/My8TsU #pacers
  3. @ericmwhite @CJBurroughs @jjclick17 @cubscoltsfan @theraptoreffect @Quentin_BZH @spster @TL_Hickman @phoenyx29 THANKS for reading.
  4. LeBron clearly respects this Indiana team: "Pacers fans should be excited about their team ... They got a good future."
  5. Wade on Mike Miller hitting threes, playing through his inability to move: "Mike Miller might be the toughest guy on the team."
  6. @bandwagonknick Thanks, amigo. We try to do it right.
  7. And lastly, so many thanks to @MikeWellsNBA for all the reporting we steal and guys like @tomhaberstroh for the Playoff reporting.
  8. ...welll enough to make a FINALS even appearance not crazy realistic ... but no teal this virgin EVER goes to the ECF. GREAT year.
  9. My initial assessment: No team this inexperienced can ever make the ECF. Injuries made it seem possible and the team really did perform...
  10. But mainly, just thanks for all the support and reading. That.s all we ask. And I guarantee this summer and next year will be only better.
  11. We really are so happy that all of you read our coverage. Will have a bunch of Playoff cleanup/season thoughts soon.
  12. It was easily the best year of the Pacers franchise since we started doing daily-ish coverage since 2009. THANKS SO MUCH for reading.
  13. Really, really rough ending to the season. Seems like they could have/should have won until o the end. But still an amazing, fun year.
  14. THANKS RT @bandwagonknick Kudos to Pacers & to Jared Wade & @TimDonahue, 2 of the smartest & fairest bloggers out there. Great year for them
  15. THANKS. RT @magoblanco17: @TimDonahue8p9s you have made me even more a fan of the pacers, and obviously of 8pts9secs, greatest fan blog
  16. Yup. This weekend. RT @andyhouck: @8pts9secs will you make season grades for the players?
  17. Terrible Miami TO giving Indiana life. THEY need buckets. AND STOPS. Were down 5 before and had life. Now need to be amazing in clutch.
  18. HIBBERT ORBs. Right now. HUGE.
  19. NEW GAME IF YOU SCORE.
  20. HUGE turnover. MAKE this worthwhile. GET a bucket.
