Preseason Open Thread #7: Pacers vs. Spurs
San Antonio Spurs at Indiana Pacers, Oct 23, 2009 7:00 PM EDT
The Indiana Pacers close out the preseason tonight against the San Antonio Spurs at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana.
No television for either team tonight so make sure to listen to Mark Boyle on 1070 The Fan. Not sure who will be working in the analyst's chair with Mark. Bruno will also be live blogging from Assembly Hall. Please use the comments to offer up your thoughts on the game or anything else about the Pacers as we prep for the games that count starting next week.

No TJ and Luther Head is a game time
Sounds like Foster will give it a go.

Bruno relays
that Murph has a sore foot and may not play much.

Sounds like
This game could get ugly too…

uhhh...yeah
Maybe they’ll put Timmy and Parker on ice early.

Murph gets the Pacers going early
taking advantage of his limited time. 4-0

Quick switch to the bench
Solo, Dhantay and Foster running now with Granger and Earl 16-11
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Pacers down 20-18
Dhantay Jones keeping the pace fast, finishing a quick bucket on the run.

Watson
with 3 early assists. Sounds like he is making more of an impact early, compared to last game.

Everything is going a bit better
Couldn’t have gone much worse though.

George Hill makes his first appearance
Probably relishes the chance to play at Assembly Hall.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:30 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
1-8
from 3pt range. Would love to see some of those shots fall…

5 offensive boards in the first quarter, Pacers showing some hustle out there!
by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 7:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
G Hill feeling it at AH so far
8 points, 3-3 from the floor.

AJ hits a 3
but it sounds like Price is struggling to keep up with Hill.

Hibby just picked up his 3rd foul
offensive
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Pacers down three
but Granger just hit a 3-ball which was desperately needed after 1-8 start for DG

Sounds like a nice pick n roll
Watson to Solo for the dunk.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Watson distributing the ball well tonight

Mark and Croshere debating Granger foul
Granger drew a foul and Cro thought it looked like a classic Reggie leg kick. Boyle is not giving it up so easy. Pacers down 2
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Watson ties it up
nice effort so far for Earl.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:01 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Granger and 1
misses the one along with another 3-ball.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:06 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Halftime: Spurs 61, Pacers 58
Much better effort tonight, keeping pace with the Spurs.
fouls and free throws about even, which makes a huge difference.

small ball lineup starts second half
don’t mind this small lineup with Watson, Dhantay, Rush, Granger, Hibbert
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:36 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Seems to be working so far
I don’t know how thrilled Danny is to be guarding McDyess though! He’s gonna leave this game with some bumps and bruises!
by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Whoa
Sounds like Roy just made a big move against Duncan finishing with a reverse dunk.
Boyle and Cro both went crazy!
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Of course, Duncan calmly dropped a shot at the other end to answer.

Almost forgot about Blair
He’s on the court now making some plays.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Haha
There are some people on this blog who haven’t forgotten about Blair!
by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
heh
I’m a Blair fan myself. Surprised he hasn’t played much tonight.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
Especially against the smaller lineups the Pacers have been playing. I guess speed might be an issue?
by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 9:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Could be a sign he won’t play much during the regular season considering how many minutes the top of their rotation has logged tonight. Playing the first half like a regular season game.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Thats what I was thinking too. He could be a force to reckon with in the coming years. Our second round pick hasn’t looked too shabby tonight. 10 points against a lot of the first stringers for A.J.

End 3Q Pacers up 92-82

Whoa
It’s the Ian Mahinmi show. Spurs cut lead down to 2.

McRoberts makes a play at both ends to keep the Pacers in front.
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:27 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Doh!
Turnover gives Spurs a chance to tie.

Boyle is begging for a 3 by spurs
win or lose, no OT
by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:31 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
41 minutes
For Granger in a pre-season game. We need more healthy bodies!
