The Pacers blew a nineteen point lead in the fourth quarter. They looked on cruise control the whole game, and when the game was pulling tight late in the fourth, I got ugly flashbacks from game one and have terrible visions of such a lopsided series going to 2-2. Even getting off to a hot start in overtime wasn't enough put me at ease. Then, finally, after some clutch George Hill free throws and Glen Davis taking a tough shot, I could breathe easy. Pacers lead three games to one and coming back to Indianapolis. Am I thrilled they won? Of course! Am I worried because they've blown two big leads? A little, but not too bad. There was nothing good about game one, don't get me wrong. But when you're on the road against a desperate team, I can forgive that a little bit. All that matters now is the Pacers come back home and take care of business. That leads us to a series with the Heat, which, well, I'm less confident about, but we'll tackle that when we get there. The bigger news is I have a new header photo, which is compliments of my wonderful wife, Kristine. As much as I love Wabash's stadium, I've always kind of felt like Victory Field is my "home" stadium, at least as far as watching games is concerned. We were there yesterday with my dad, brother, and his fiance, and my wife snapped this picture with her iPhone. I've always been slightly uncomfortable using the old picture, because I didn't exactly ask permission for it. I didn't figure it bothered anybody at Wabash, but it still didn't feel right. When Kristine snapped this great shot at the game yesterday,* I had a decent idea of what I would want to do with it. *Which the Indians won, it should be pointed out. They're off to a pretty good start, but I (along with most of the city/state) am a little too preoccupied with the Pacers to worry about baseball yet. Anyway, that's really about it for today. Weight lifting awaits. Comments are closed.
