A list off the top of the dome: Respect for opposing teams, no matter their record. Strong first Q. Defensive intensity, Intelligence, Ball movement, Pride, Heart….

These are just a few things the raps lacked vs. a battered Indiana lineup (2/29/08), missing their main players. And believe you me, there were plenty more lackings…My point is I stayed home Friday night anticipating a Pacer demolishing and what do I get for my loyal devotion? A disheartening L. I swear, sometimes I feel like wearing my Vince Carter Jersey to work the next day.
