Game Thread 02/22: Pacers vs. Pelicans

[boomershadow]

Evans will be a game-time decision for Friday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran guard first injured his ankle during a Feb. 11 game against the Charlotte Hornets.

New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry said his star player would be available for Friday's game.

Davis has been dealing with a bruised muscle in his left shoulder. The injury forced him to leave the team's final game before the All-Star break at halftime.

I was reading online that Davis and Holiday are going to be on a minutes restriction for the rest of the season so that they can develop their young guys. Sounds like 20-25 minutes/game for those 2. This is a game the Pacers can't afford to lose. Especially with the schedule coming up...

That was one heck of a turnaround for the Pacers. Both Wes and Tyreke stepped up big. Also, before anyone speaks about Davis being on restricted minutes, let's remember that tonight the Pacers had two starters (Vic & Myles) limited to ZERO minutes. I'd say playing without those two is the larger handicap.

It’s worth pointing out, based on the guys the Pels had on the floor in the fourth quarter, they threw this game. Fourth quarter no Davis, Randel, Holiday. It would be a really bad sign I feel we don’t win under those circumstances.
