The only games we've won since the Kanter injury required Russ to go God Mode in the 4th quarter.

I do not have a good feeling about this one.

We are far from a good defensive team. It has improved in the last month or so, but still not good. Myles Turner is now listed as questionable with an illness. Could be without the starting front court. I don't have a good feeling about this one either! At least I get to watch Russ tonight.

Good luck man, I'm a Pacers fan out east (see my sig). Hope the best for you guys in every other game haha.

Kanter could very well thrive in the frontcourt void of Pacers. I'm sure he's banging his head everyday missing those easy games that would drive his value up. I can say coupled with his "spoiled brat" image from the past this last incident lowered his value to nearly Steve Francis level (though he is not that kind of a person but people have selective memory and will remember his "forced trade", "shaming the mountains" and "self injury").

Paul George has been up and down all year. Hope this isn't one of his good games. Weird to say it might come down to how well Jeff Teague is guarded. This team has a bad habit of letting opposing point guards kill them. Victor is going to have to guard him well tonight and be a factor on offense.

Teague had a terrible start to the season but has been quietly terrific lately.

This will be a test for us without Turner or Thaddeus... guessing we start Lavoy Allen and All Jefferson. LaVoy was key Saturday, but without Turner we really take a hit.

Oladipo with about 6 mistakes in the first minute

He's so frustrating to watch at times.

We need to clean up our rebounding, but I like our defensive rotations so far.

I've given up hope that he'll develop. Adams and Russ look good. I haven't seen a lot of RW/Adams action as much since New Orleans.
