Roy Hibbert shot 6-of-11 from the field for 14 points with seven boards, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Game 4's 102-91 loss in Atlanta.

He made just three field goals on Saturday and was better on the offensive side of the ball tonight. Although, Hibbert did commit five fouls and the Hawks went right at the Pacers tonight. David West had an off night and might not be healthy, shooting 5-of-14 from the field for 15 points with six boards and two assists. The Pacers will travel back home for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Roy Hibbert failed to score in the first half of Saturday's ugly 90-69 loss to the Hawks, finishing with eight points, nine boards and two blocks in 24 minutes.

Indiana was terrible in this game and they're now up just 2-1 in the series. They shot 27.2 percent from the field, made just four of their 25 3-point attempts, turned the ball over 22 times and had just 10 assists as a team tonight. Of the 13 players that took part in today's game, none of them shot over 50 percent from the field. Frank Vogel might want to burn this game tape after getting down 13 points at the end of the first and never finding their rhythm. The Pacers will look to rebound in Game 4 on Monday.

Roy Hibbert referred to a game in December where he had no points and one rebound as "probably the lowest I've ever been in my career."

Hibbert struggled mightily for most of the season after signing a max extension as a restricted free agent, but he turned it around after the All-Star break with averages of 15.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks on 50.8 percent shooting. By comparison, Hibbert averaged 10 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks on a lousy 41.4 percent shooting in the first half of the season. Hibbert also began seeing the Pacers team psychologist and acknowledged to previously internalizing things that bothered him, but he's got an improved outlook and confirmed his right hand/wrist injury that he dealt with earlier in the season is not an issue.

Roy Hibbert scored 16 points in Sunday's easy 107-90 Game 1 win over the Hawks, while adding eight boards, one steal and two blocks in 33 minutes.

He shot 7-of-17 from the field and led the team in attempts today. Hibbert was creative with some spinning post moves and his offense in the second half of the season was terrific, shooting 50.8 percent in that span. On the other hand, Hibbert's defensive presence is what makes Indiana the heavy favorite against the Hawks in the first round.

Roy Hibbert (rest) will not play on Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Hibbert was likely to take a seat on Wednesday and that's exactly what he'll wind up doing. Ian Mahinmi will start in his place and play major minutes.

The Pacers may rest Roy Hibbert during their final games on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Indiana is locked into the No. 3 seed and Frank Vogel made no secret about the need to rest his key players, which suggests that Hibbert is about to get a DNP. Even if he's active Hibbert won't play many minutes, and we're likely to see a lot of Jeff Pendergraph and Tyler Hansbrough.

Roy Hibbert double-doubled during Friday's 117-109 loss to Brooklyn on Friday with 18 points and 10 boards to go with his two blocks in 32 minutes.

We've spent a lot of time talking about how he's shooting 51 percent from the field after the break, but he made both of his free throws tonight and that's been a nice area of improvement for him, too. After shooting 69 percent from the line before the break, he's upped it to 79 percent after the break. Hibbert is a beast.
