Preseason Open Thread #7: Pacers vs. Spurs

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 6:30 PM EDT in Indiana Pacers News

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.

Any news

On who will be playing tonight? Are the Pacers gonna dress more then 10?

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 6:47 PM EDT reply actions

No TJ and Luther Head is a game time

Sounds like Foster will give it a go.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 6:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Bruno relays

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

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:02 PM EDT reply actions

Sounds like

This game could get ugly too…

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 7:04 PM EDT reply actions

uhhh...yeah

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

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:06 PM EDT up reply actions

Murph gets the Pacers going early

taking advantage of his limited time. 4-0

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:13 PM EDT reply actions

hello

spurs on a 13-2 run

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:19 PM EDT reply actions

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

Pacers down 20-18

Dhantay Jones keeping the pace fast, finishing a quick bucket on the run.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:26 PM EDT reply actions

Watson

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

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 7:28 PM EDT reply actions

Everything is going a bit better

Couldn’t have gone much worse though.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:29 PM EDT reply actions

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

1-8

from 3pt range. Would love to see some of those shots fall…

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 7:32 PM EDT reply actions

Granger still clankin' em tonight

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions

Spurs up 30-27 after 1Q

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:39 PM EDT reply actions

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

G Hill feeling it at AH so far

8 points, 3-3 from the floor.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:44 PM EDT reply actions

AJ hits a 3

but it sounds like Price is struggling to keep up with Hill.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:45 PM EDT reply actions

Hill

is killin’ it! A.J just got him back with a 3pt play though. Go get ’em A.J.!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions

Nice to see AJ battle back

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions

Hibby just picked up his 3rd foul

offensive

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:48 PM EDT reply actions

Pacers down three

but Granger just hit a 3-ball which was desperately needed after 1-8 start for DG

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 7:53 PM EDT reply actions

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

Watson distributing the ball well tonight

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions

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

Haha

Danny better be careful, that move is pretty much trademarked!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions

Watson ties it up

nice effort so far for Earl.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:01 PM EDT reply actions

Granger and 1

misses the one along with another 3-ball.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:06 PM EDT reply actions

3-16 from 3-land

goodness

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:10 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah

At some point maybe they should think about passing some of those threes up! Great job on the hustle stats, 8 offensive boards, only 5 turnovers. Hopefully shots start falling!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions

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.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:19 PM EDT reply actions

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

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

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

Nice!

Looking forward to seeing moves like that for years to come!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions

Of course, Duncan calmly dropped a shot at the other end to answer.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:41 PM EDT reply actions

Hibbert on fire

Pacers up 78-75

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:43 PM EDT reply actions

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

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

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

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

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

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.

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions

End 3Q Pacers up 92-82

No 3rd quarter let down tonight. Wow

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 8:58 PM EDT reply actions

YO

34 pt 3rd quarter… For the Pacers!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 8:58 PM EDT reply actions

small ball worked out ok

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:00 PM EDT up reply actions

Hibbert just fouled out

JOB gets a T for kicks

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:08 PM EDT reply actions

Crowd at Assembly Hall

chanting Lar-ry Bi-rd!

Getting a response.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:08 PM EDT reply actions

Awesome

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions

Pacers up 7

about 5 to go.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:18 PM EDT reply actions

Solo and Roy both foul out for second game

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:19 PM EDT reply actions

Ugh

Foster needs to get healthy soon!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 9:20 PM EDT up reply actions

3's are droppin now

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 9:21 PM EDT reply actions

Whoa

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

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:24 PM EDT reply actions

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

Gotta hit free throws to win this one.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:28 PM EDT reply actions

Doh!

Turnover gives Spurs a chance to tie.

by Tom Lewis on Oct 23, 2009 9:30 PM EDT reply actions

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

41 minutes

For Granger in a pre-season game. We need more healthy bodies!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 9:32 PM EDT reply actions

14 boards though!

by jantz101 on Oct 23, 2009 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions

Spurs don't get a good shot off, Pacers win 114-112
