UPDATE: Bruno's is LIVE! blogging from the Fieldhouse. He's proclaiming the Pacers are embarking on the toughest 4 game stretch in NBA history based on the winning percentage of the next four opponents (Lakers, Celtics, Cavs, Celtics). Also, Jeff Foster is not available tonight with a back problem, along with Dunleavy and Diener.
The Indiana Pacers come off a couple of days rest to take on the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at the Fieldhouse. The way the Lakers have been toying with the League so far this season, the Pacers will need every second of that rest.
Here are the Pacers.com matchups and video scouting report.

Rasho 2-2
Getting a little Rasho production would really help the offense.
Gotta take care of the ball.

2:53 left in 1Q
Pacers up 24-21. Chalk up another great start for the Pacers. As we know, great starts hold no value.

Kobe loses the ball
when going at Rush and Hibbert. Shamelessly pleads for a foul. Please.

Lakers up 30-28 end 1Q
Lakers make it look easy. After a solid quarter, Pacers still trail.
FTs: Lakers 9-10, Pacers 0-0
Expect Lakers to get all benefit of doubt calls.

Pacers up 38-36 8:32 left
These teams can put up points in a hurry. I like McRoberts scrap early, pestering the Lakers bigs.

Wow!
Crazy half. You know the Lakers are going to try to tighten up the defense. Pacers are going to have to get in the 120s to win. Gonna take a special effort to win this one, but so far it’s hard to complain.
FTs: Lakers 17-24, Pacers 4-4

Granger with a "quiet" 16
Couple late buckets helped kept the deficit from double digits at the half.
