any update about Gay's injury? I watched yesterday's game VS Bulls. Pacers look so bad without granger.
If dunleavy has another game of 30% and murphy doesnt score more than 20, this game must be a win. Watson as a starter!!! hope Conley owns him!

We should win this game, but you can't look pass Indiana. They can still give us (and they have given us) a good game without Granger. Also, we never seem to play well at Conseco.

saw earlier today that Murphy is out with an ankle injury.
That does NOT mean, however, that this game is a "gimmie". There are none of those in the NBA.

I beleive TJ Ford is back as the starter - at least he was in last game. which was a very dumb move if you ask me. Watson is totally outplaying Ford. Ford should be 3rd string at this point. also Solomon Jones played started in front of Hibbert last night. that is a crummy team without Granger. Very crummy. Grizz by 20
funny seeing DeMarre in the starting 5! Bring on TMAC

I read that Rudy is expected to try to play tonight but with or without him this is a game we should win.

Either way, we cannot underestimate the Pacers despite if they are undermanned or our bad history vs. them @ Conseco. Just play the game like any other game and do what you have to to get the win.

Aint sure if a NBA team when is facing a game is really influenced by history with the other team. i mean, does it really matter the grizzs has had a bad streak @pacers? I dont think so, If murphy and granger are out, dunleavy hasnt get his best yet, and TJ and watson are the combo at PG... a must win game.

I watched part of the Bulls/Pacers game and thought they really had no flow to their offence with Murphy and Granger out. I think Zach Randolph can have a big day against Josh McRoberts as long as Gasol keeps Hibbert, who is also much improved this season, occupied. I was impressed with McRoberts since I hadn't yet seen him play, but I don't think he is ready for the likes of Zbo. The guy plays hard but I see alot of fouls from him.

Good win by the Grizz. The first time they swept the Pacers in franchise history. Good way to end 2009 on a good note.

I recall in a thread(can't remember which one) where the question was asked if it's possible the Grizzlies could claw their way to .500 by the end of December. They sure have come awfully close.
I couldn't see the game, but can anyone tell me if Hibbert got the better of Gasol? His stats were as good as any center has put up against Marc this season and from the fouls Gasol ended up with it looked like he may have had his hands full with Hibbert.
