RIP PacerFan... I didn't really communicate or know the guy, but from what I've read, and just a death in general - it's sad to know.

4PT/7ET

Not sure what the line-ups will be. But for the Pacers, JO is out, for the next two weeks. Somebody else can post everything if they want.

I think this is a win by 4-6 points. At least a competitive loss.

Should be fun.

One of your boys (a-rod) did a nice job on the game thread on our board...said it was in honor of pacerfan. Come see his great work.

Much, much respect and gratitude.

Good luck tonight

Oh yeah, I saw it, he/she does a nice job with them.

Somehow, we got killed by Mike Dunleavy in our last matchup at ARCO, so that better not happen again. JO didn't really have a huge impact on the last game, so I don't think him being out will influence the outcome.

We should win this one, it would be disappointing to lose this game after the big win last night. I think Salmons will play more minutes tonight, he should be well rested.

Oh and last time Ron 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.

Let's hope that he plays team ball and doesn't shoot it 22 times. Last night, Artest said he wants to start "immediately", so it will be interesting to see if he does.

a game like this when the opposite teams are playing small line up we should utilize spenser post up ability, since brad is ineffective when the opposite team put a small and quick defender on him.

Mike has done that to everyone this year, don't expect tonight to be any different. I also think your wrong about Jermaine. He had a huge impact in the win in Sacramento even though he didn't score the ball well at all. Our whole fourth quarter strategy was to dump it to Jermaine because for some reason you guys doubled him every time and we got our shooters a lot of good looks.

As for this one, if Dunleavy and Granger both play well, we'll most likely win, if one of the two play well it will be a close game that's decided late. So far this year whenever Jermaine doesn't play its like a breath of fresh air for the rest of the team. The passing is crisper, Danny Granger plays 10 times better and we seem to beat very good teams without him. Since he is sitting I expect us to win pretty easily tonight.

True but now he is going to have Artest in his face the whole night, i am sure your familiar with Artests Defensive game :wink:

Will Martin dunk on JO again?

good start

We're still crashing the middle too much. Although we may have to with Mike getting posted up so easily by Tinsley. :roll:

Turnovers are gonna kill us down the stretch

Just got home after playing some basketball, who started the game for the Kings?

And WOW nice shot from Ron at the end of the 1st.

Martin took Garcia's place thats it

Gotta like the start, hopefully we can keep this up.

RIPskaterdude · Post #17 » by **RIPskaterdude** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 12:40 am

Sloppy game for both teams so far.

13 turnovers in 13 minutes of play.

With the ball handling, you'd think the ball was covered in Vaseline.

Mikki is just having his way inside.

Some of our guys are just in a funk.
