Indiana Pacers still reeling from Game 5 spanking flayers blame tbeir lack of aggressiveness for their 106-87 loss to the Bulls in Game 5 By Chris Sheridan The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — To say the Indiana Pacers have put the Game 5 loss to the Chicago Bulls behind them would be untrue. Clearly, the Bulls’ 106-87 rout on Wednesday night has planted the seeds of self-doubt in the heads of the Pacers. “It would have been different if this was the first game and we had been blown out,” Antonio Davis said. “But we got blown out in the fifth game and that hurts. It hurt everybody.” It also left Indiana only one game away from elimination in the Eastern Conference finals. Head coach Larry Bird made the team watch a tape of the entire first half of the game, and it was not a pretty picture. The Pacers did none of the things they needed to do, from de terring Scottie Pippen’s relentless drives to the basket to setting the picks Reggie Miller needs to have a clean look on his jump shot. “To lose the way we did really affects your pride,” Rik Smits said. “The way we struggled, that af fects confidence. I mean, we missed 18 field goals in a row. That gets to you at a certain point.” Jalen Rose, suspended for Game 5 for leaving the bench during a late altercation in Game 4, wasn't able to watch the game from his hotel room after the staff kicked him out when the rest of the team checked out. He ended up watching the game on television in a meeting room, and he wasn’t ordering up room service as the rout unfolded. “I had no appetite,” he said. Each of the Pacers pointed to ag gressiveness as the key missing component, and a few of them al most admitted that their confi dence could be dimin ished going into Game 6 Friday night. I look at it from the standpoint that it can’t get any worse,” said Miller, who appeared stunned by the magnitude of Indiana’s defeat. The Pacers went into the game knowing they had a chance to move within one victory of elimi nating the two-time defending champions, and Bird was certain his veteran-laden team would rise to the challenge. That’s what made the collective no-show all the more discouraging. “It was mind-boggling to me,” Bird said. “Maybe they were caught up in everything going on around them. It was a big game and I expected them to play harder and more aggressive, but it just wasn’t there. “I don’t think [the Bulls] played any better than they did in any other games, they just didn’t get any resistance from us. They looked better because we didn’t play,” Bird said. The Pacers' only remaining hope is a comeback similar to that two months ago following the worst offensive performance in NBA history — a measly 55-point output against San Antonio that was the lowest point total in the league’s 51 years of business. Indiana followed with a 128 point outburst in the next game, and the Pacers haven’t lost at home since, including a perfect 7 0 record in the playoffs. The Bulls have been especially tough to beat when they have the opportunity to close out a series. Not since 1996, when they had a 3-0 lead in the Finals over Seattle and went on to win in six games, have they blown a chance to close out a series. In this year’s playoffs, they had two of their best overall games in the cl i nchers over New Jersey and Charlotte. Last year, they came back from Utah with a 3-2 lead in the Finals and finished off the Jazz in Game 6. “No one can think we can take this score and that it will be attribut able to Friday's game,” said Chicago coach Phil Jackson, who gave his team the day off Thursday. “Fri day’s game will be a different mat ter. The key is we’re going to have to play a good game on the road if we are to get to the next series. ” Emerald CLASSIFIEDS Call 346-4343 or stop by Suite 300 EMU to place your ad today 085 GREEK ANNOUNCEMENTS Congratulations to our seniors on Graduation and the Circle Degree Tami Adams Heather Davis Jessica baker Liz Graham Missy Christison Jen Clake Lisa Grunstedt Robyn Pirrie Melissa Coxen-Unthank Maryanne Maginnis Tasha Steveens Shawni Nelson _Darnell Whitaker 090 BIRTHDAYS AAA AAA Happy Birthday to Davis, Courtney and Alice.
