Preseason Open Thread #8: Indiana Pacers at Dallas Mavericks

The Indiana Pacers play their final preseason game tonight in Dallas against the Mavericks. Jim O'Brien expects to stick to his projected regular season playing rotation again tonight. Mike Dunleavy and Travis Diener won't be available again, but everyone else is good to go. That includes Roy Hibbert, which is good news since Hibbert left the game in New Orleans on Tuesday after tweaking an ankle.

Mike Wells reported today that this could be the last game for Austin Croshere and Josh Davis. Neither have guaranteed contracts nor have made a strong enough case for the Pacers to eat a contract to make room. Of course, a Tinsley trade trades everything but until then we can expect Cro and Davis to be released sometime between now and Monday in order to get the roster down to 15 players.

UPDATE: Bruno reports that the Pacers released Croshere and Davis today.

"This was an extremely difficult decision to waive Austin," said General Manager David Morway. "Austin’s a terrific professional and has represented this franchise extremely well and we appreciate his passion, dedication and commitment to the Pacers over the years."

Good Call.

You hit the nail on the head C-Rows, Davis and Croshere were cut this afternoon.

The writing was on the wall

At least they didn’t make them sit on the bench tonight.

So Who's Getting Cut

Are they going to sink in and cut Tinsley or will someone like Baston or McRoberts get cut?

My guess

Only a guess and I’d hate to see it, but Stephen Graham or Maceo Baston are probably most likely to be cut if Tinsley is there. Appears that they want to hang onto McRoberts and could send him to Fort Wayne for a bit, but he still has to be on the roster.

Nice start

Pacers up 10-4 early forcing a Dallas time out. That’s enough 3-ball attempts on the night, though, TJ.

This pace is crazy

The HD visuals from Boyle are flying by.

No More Cuts are Necessary

Because the Pacers bought out Eddie Jones, they now have 15 players under
contract INCLUDING Tinsley.

That's right

I’m losing my mind. I was talking with someone today about McRoberts playing D-League and we were also talking about cuts, but that was before Cro was let go. Thanks!

Pacers up 29-22 end 1Q

Jack part of a solid finish to the quarter. The team got up 28 FGAs. Didn’t shoot it well, but sometimes bulk pays off.

Nice effort Rush

Kept ball alive on offensive glass which led to a Baston bucket.

Ind up 61-58

7:45 left in 3Q. Solid defensive effort from the first unit to start the third…and there’s a 3-ball from Dirk.

Foster out sick.

Just realized I hadn’t mentioned that Foster was not playing tonight.
