Pacers Get Over the Great Wall, Win Game 2: Tweets of the Night
By Jalen Bishop
Game 2. Here we go.
1ST QUARTER
Might I interest you in some Pacers-Wizards, Game 2, from the Best Basketball Arena in the World?
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 7, 2014
I am.
And an and-1 layup! Screw you #narrative

Hibbert has five points in a minute!
Nope, nor are you in an alternate universe.
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) May 7, 2014
"@jalen_ny: Roy Hibbert with five points. Am I dreaming?"
Pacers up 7-0
Roy Hibbert 5. @Real_T_Mac 0.
— Pacers de l'Indiana France (@PacersFrance) May 7, 2014
Burn. . .
Hibbert cleared out Gortat on that Hill layup. It's the little things, people.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 7, 2014
George Hill has two shot attempts in four minutes. 13-5 Pacers.
One thing Indiana has to keep in mind though: Transition defense....put a body on these shooters after a miss or quick Wall run-out
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 7, 2014
Ariza specifically.
Roy putting em in a body bag.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 7, 2014
My man.
Nene grimacing. Gooden checking in.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 7, 2014
Good for Indiana. Not good for Washington. 15-13.
Ian Mahinmi doing a good job getting across the lane on that Gortat cut, gets the deflection that leads to turnover. PG then with steal.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 7, 2014
Nice job, Ian.
Ian got jammed on. Hard. Marcin Gortat is frightening.
23-23 at the end of the first.
2ND QUARTER
Mahinmi just took Drew Gooden off the dribble and dunked. Weird game.
Watson and Turner #TrueDetectiveSeason2
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) May 7, 2014
A little half transition by Watson and Turner. Corner three.
What about this matchup convinced Vogel that Evan Turner deserved his rotation spot back?
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) May 7, 2014
Don’t know, don’t care.
Someone has to step up and hit jumpers. #AdvancedStats
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 7, 2014
A SportVu exclusive.
ROY HIBBERTJUWON.
— Pacers de l'Indiana France (@PacersFrance) May 7, 2014
Big Dog with 9 points. 4-of-4 shooting.
I’m sure he’s a nice guy.
Lance > Andrew Luck
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 7, 2014
Agree. 35-33 Wiz.
Hilarious. I laughed.
Hibbert free throws after the timeout, with a chance to enter double digits...before anyone else on the Pacers roster.
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 7, 2014
He’s drawing fouls now, too.
From now on the correct answer to every random thing that happens in the NBA is "Bynum."
— Paul Flannery (@Pflanns) May 7, 2014
Okay. Nene just drew a foul on Hibbert. He has 2. West just checked in for Scola. 35-35.
I’m basically Elias Sports Bureau. 39-37 Pacers.
Lance make his best passes when he's just sprinting across a tightrope in between the Twin Towers not even aware there's a drop.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 7, 2014
He has been quiet lately. I like crazy Lance better.
If you want to blame anyone for Roy's hot start tonight…….blame him. He brought his big boy pants.
— Michael Grady (@Grady) May 7, 2014
He reminded of Kobe’s quote about Gasol. Don’t do this to me.
Drake is purchasing a Roy Hibbert jersey as we speak
— Kenny Ducey (@KennyDucey) May 7, 2014
No more Drake jokes! Indiana just called a timeout with 36 seconds left. 45-43 Wiz.
OK. Chill out, Roy Hibbert. #airball #twelvepivots
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 7, 2014
Fourteen maybe.
Weave to the a Copeland pin down 3. He was off balance tho.
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 8, 2014
Copeland checked in for a possession and bricked a three.
John Wall tried to make the basketball self-destruct on that one
— SB Nation NBA (Click the pic to read 🔽) (@SBNationNBA) May 8, 2014
Mahinmi was almost killed twice in one half. 45-43 Wiz at the half.
HALFTIME
No halftime tweets. Pizza delivery.
3RD QUARTER
Polish. Hammer.
— Ethan Strauss (@SherwoodStrauss) May 8, 2014
Gortat dunked on Hibbert.
Here he goes! Hibbert gets things going for Pacers to open the second half, with another And-1
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 8, 2014
He wasn’t phased by Gortat’s smash. Hibbert is feeling it.
Crowd is booing refs for allowing WAS a timeout instead of calling a foul for simply sitting down on John Wall.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 8, 2014
Live from Bankers Field House.
Four shots in a row for Lance. At least he got to the line.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 8, 2014
I like it.
Aggressive George Hill is fun. 53-53. Six minutes left in the 3rd.
#TemplateTweets RT @bochurney: Hibbert just fell...
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 8, 2014
Tweet that you could’ve tweeted every game.
Paul George and David West combined have fewer points that George Hill. They all combined have one more point than Hibbert. I give up.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 8, 2014
Aliens.
Can't get a girlfriend/boyfriend? Put Copeland in.
— PacerNation (@central_champs) May 8, 2014
10/10 would recommend.
UNLEASH THE STEPHENSON
— Pacers de l'Indiana France (@PacersFrance) May 8, 2014
Bourne. Lance.
BOURNE READY. Bourne Rifle.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 8, 2014
Splash! Let it fly. Lance making shots.
Hibbert will Hibbert RT @JosephCasciaro Hibbert playing great tonight, but why does it seem like he's falling on every play?
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 8, 2014
This happens every game. 65-60 Pacers. 1:30 left.
Mahinmi is a sneaky good dunker.
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) May 8, 2014
Baseline slam.
Most critical 12 minutes of the season coming up. Pacers +4.
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 8, 2014
George Hill blocked by John Wall at the buzzer. 68-64 Wizards.
4TH QUARTER
PG coming in. Wall going out. Pacers +2 at 10:44.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 8, 2014
“I don’t get tired.”
PG just took a dump midrange shot and left Lance open for 3 on the wing.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 8, 2014
Paul George playing like a the real number 24.
Man, if Paul George can’t take Webster...
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) May 8, 2014
His one-on-one moves are bad.
Drew Gooden’s chinstrap beard is giving him +10 hustle in this series
— SB Nation NBA (Click the pic to read 🔽) (@SBNationNBA) May 8, 2014
Drew Gooden has 5 points and 4 rebounds in 13 minutes. 71-69 Wiz.
PG, Lance and West are a combined 7-of-24. Could be a waste of a classic Roy Hibbert game.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 8, 2014
Yup.
Get to the rim! You’re 6-foot-9.
PAUL GEORGE WILL TAKE YOUR SOUL NOW, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 8, 2014
RIC FLAIR. WOOO!
Roy Hibbert's 28 points are a season high
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) May 8, 2014
One away from 30. It’s 80-77 Pacers. That was weird to type.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 8, 2014
He hasn’t proven once in this series he can kill Indy with it. Let him have it.
Feels like Wall has helped Pacers out with a couple foolish, early shot clock threes.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 8, 2014
Wall is trying to swing for the fences here.
BORN READY TO GET THAT FIRST BIG CONTRACT
— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) May 8, 2014
Lance hit a huge shot with 21 seconds left.
Bradley REAL.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 8, 2014
Beal going hammer. 84-82.
WEST IS THE BEST. WEST IS THE BEST. WEST IS THE BEST. WEST IS THE BEST.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 8, 2014
West hits two free throws. 86-82 Pacers.
David West with the big balls qui rentrent ses lancers. Washington 82, Indiana 86.
— Pacers de l'Indiana France (@PacersFrance) May 8, 2014
French tweet.
#PacersWin Pacers 86-82 over DC at the crib. Roy Hibbert: Not trashy. See you in the District, Blue & Gold.
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 8, 2014
That’s a final.
