GDT - Pacers @ Sacramento

[kdawg531]

Is anyone else worried if we can keep this up when Granger returns?

I thought about it. It's weird how teams can play really well w/o their best player, like TMac, and all those other examples i can't think of right now.

I doubt we look like this against many other teams. Give all the credit to our guys for coming out focused and ready to grab this win for the playoffs, but ... it's the Kings. I think we should keep things in perspective.

The only thing that I'm worried about when Granger comes back, is making sure he's 100% and not rushing him when he's not ready. He'll certainly help the playoff push, but the future is more important right now.

I'm surprised how ineffective Sacramento has been thus far.

True, but we did beat the Nuggets the other day. Was that just a fluke?

I'm very confused right now. Is there any reason why Stephen Graham is shooting the ball every time it touches his hands? I'm convinced he's going to throw up a half-court shot for no good reason sometime soon.

Wow. Troy Murphy.

He is just in the groove right now.

No, it wasn't. I agree that we've been playing pretty well lately without Granger. However, tonight we've looked better than usual. They're basically just letting us break-away for lay ups and come right down the lane. We've also hit 11 threes so far.

Basically, this is probably our easiest game all year.

Give a lot of credit to Marquis for keeping Kevin Martin in check. After him, the Kings don't really have a clear 2nd option and Quis did a great job of making sure K-Mart didn't go off like the last time he played us.

We also are running into a lot of teams that are blatantly playing for lotto balls. We did look really good tonight though. Murphy, Jack, Diener, Ford...all looked really good tonight.
