Pre Game Analysis:

My Take On The Indiana Pacers: The Pacers are very good team when Jamaal Tinsley and Jermaine O'Neal are healthy, sadly they haven't been healthy and their very much in and out of the lineup, this is why this team has not been consistent , but hopefully they can turn it around after this game

The Ernie Johnson Stat:
0-6 against run and gun teams this season, so basically what you want to do is to run and move the ball. no iso plays.




Preview:

The Sacramento Kings are finally healthy, and the results have been positive.

They'll go for their fifth win in seven games when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.

Sacramento finished last in the Pacific Division last season, ending its streak of eight consecutive playoff appearances and lowering expectations for 2007-08. Injuries to the Kings' top three scorers from last season didn't help either.

JO out for the next two weeks, starting tonight... knee bone bruise:

[RIPskaterdude]

Well it's certainly been a nice "home coming" for Artest on this road trip, first back to Detroit and now Indiana. It will be interesting to see how the fans treat him. I know that Miller still loves coming back to play at Indiana, he spends alot of his off season there.

Last time Artest was in Indiana...

Artest will be playing at Conseco Fieldhouse for just the second time since he demanded a trade from the Pacers in the middle of the 2005-06 season after a tumultuous four-year tenure with the club. He had 18 points but was just 6-for-22 from the field while getting booed throughout his first visit there - a 98-93 Sacramento loss on March 17, 2006.

You guys got us at ARCO earlier this month, so I'm hoping we'll return the favor.

Good luck.

JO is out for 2 weeks? Whatever was left of his trade stock just vanished. We are stuck with him for the rest of his contract. I say stuck, but hes still good. But its near impossible to move him now.

Its not that big of a hit, considering we play great without him. Plus I'm REALLY excited to see Diogu get some time(assuming he does).

Good thread.

Will be watching the Pacers on the laptop while watching the Blazers on the tube. Looking forward to seeing what we look like without JO or Jamaal against a hot Kings team. It will be a tough game.

My bad bro. You might have, I just don't remember it. Sorry.

EDIT: I know what happened. I started watching the game late, like in the second half. So when I came to look at the thread it was like 4 pages deep and I didn't see the front. My bad.

[KF10]

Will Martin dunk on JO again?

[pillwenney]

Do you guys know if Tinsley is playing tonight?

[ak777]

GUYS WHY IS JO NOT PLAYING?

[xxSnEaKyPxx]

Murphy is trying to be our #1 scoring option. He's trying to pull a Tinsley.

If that continues we lost.

I agree,I think it would be different if he was coming off the bench,but we have others that can score out there with him,so it dont make since to keep throwing it up everytime he gets it.

I'm sick of Obie. Why does he hate Diogu?

[xxSnEaKyPxx]

Graham is ripped. Does anyone else see this? Holy cow.

[Pacersike]

GUYS WHY IS JO NOT PLAYING?

He hurt his knee. Can you believe that?

[TSC25]

GUYS WHY IS JO NOT PLAYING?

They said on the radio pregame show,it looks like he'll be out for atleast 2 weeks.

Graham is the best player in the history of the NBA. Ever.
