Old school...



...meets new school

This is going to be a tough one. Not expecting a win, but if we do it'll be a big confidence booster. Pacers have assembled a very good team with a good starting 5 and some depth. Their weakest link is probably Collison which bodes well for us. Hopefully we have our full compliment of PGs.

I REALLY want them to win this one. Didn't like the Pacers before and I like them even less now that they have David West. His cheap shot on fragile Mike Miller is still fresh in my mind.

Really want to get to .500 after being so close before, but agree this will be tough game even though I think the Pacers are a crappy team outside of Grainger.

Must win game IMO. We have to reach .500

Any time a team wants to do throwbacks they should be forced to wear the old school short shorts as well.

Not crappy at all, and Granger has been sub-par this year. I'd kill to have George and Roy Hibbert here.

Didn't the Lakers do that once for a half?

I like George and Hibbert, but just don't have that wow factor for me to say I really want to see this team play. West is overrated and Collison is average. Crappy probably was a poor choice of words. They just seem bland despite a good record and one very good player.

Hibbert is a 14-10 guy in under 30 mpg. He's likely an All-Star this year. Granger is coming on strong after a putrid start, playing amazing defense. West crappy? He's a 2 time all-star, Paul George is a great young prospect, who clearly has potential to be an All-Star player for years, who plays great defense.

The Pacers are 14-6 despite playing 13 out of their first 20 on the road, and have beat LA on the road, Chicago on the road and haven't lost 2 in a row all year. Crappy? The Pacers so far have been far one of the best teams in the NBA. Perhaps subjectively you think they are bland, but if they are bland then most teams would love to be "bland".

Need to win this, especially at home.

I hate to be happy someone got hurt but Hill will not be playing.

Happy? (defensive rant) Happy? (defensive rant) APPRECIATE MY TEAM /Fan of the Pacers


Hill would've been a good match up against Rubio. I wonder if they will put George on him?
Of course Adelman will probably set them up perfectly to do that by starting Ridnour instead of Webster..

Are the Pacers wearing their ABA throwbacks too? I like them, except for the weird crossing yellow line.

You'd think they would seeing as they have road versions. I think the Clippers and Grizzlies both wore theirs when playing each other.

Yes they are
