PrintWho's with me?
After flying out to Seattle on Wednesday morning, I decided I'd delay my time zone acclimation process a day so I can try to catch the Pacers game from Taipei against the Denver Nuggets. Of course, that means at 4:30AM local time I'll be here checking it out. I'm hoping the pressure of posting this early will help nudge me out of bed. No promises.
But I am looking forward to seeing the Pacers play again and the Nuggets will offer a surly challenge which combined with a fired-up Taiwanese crowd ought to be enough incentive to get up early.
Fox Sports Indiana and NBA TV will have the action starting at 7:30AM Eastern time.

I had to make a choice to watch this live
Or have this evening off to watch the Dodgers. Sorry, Tom, but I think I’ve got my priorities straight at the moment.
Heck, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to catch much of the replay tonight. And that is a bit of sadness. I’ll have to do the midnight madness game here in a few days. I’m itching to catch this team and get to basketball.
But I’m regretting it in the sense that I’m deaddd tired from having to be up until 2 a.m. EST to finish last night’s game. Blehhh.
Crowd is going nuts after every bucket
Granger hit another. Ugh, TJ offered up a bad TO with Pacers on a serious run
13-6 P’s
Earl Watson makes his debut
McBobs, Hibbert, Rush and Dhantay in as well. 5:31 left in 1Q, Pacers up 19-14
Bird on Hansbrough
Still hoping to get him back at the end of camp. In no hurry to rush him back into action.
Maybe it's the hour of the day
but this seems like the longest first quarter ever.
Pacers up 22-18 with 2:54 left in 1Q
Whoa
Hibbert rotated over to stuff Joey Graham’s offering at the rim. Not a step late on that one. Led to a break and free throws for TJ
Watson is showing his defense
Another steal and set up a break with an alley oop to Jones in traffic that got wedged in the rim.
Luther Head in street clothes too
I knew someone was missing. YIKES, Dun as the Pacers gold blazer going again.
Half: Pacers up 68-54
Gotta love that effort in a fast paced game. Murph with 15 and Watson with 10 lead the scoring.
Team was 9-17 from 3-land.
Hard to explain
but TJ Ford is actually playing well despite the 5 turnovers. I think he was on the court with every other player that saw time except for Nichols. played with Rush, Watson, Dhantay and AJ in backcourt.
So far so good
Rush hits his 4th 3-ball, then TJ gets a strip forcing Nuggs to foul. Pacers up 76-60
Whoa
I think Roy just spun out of his body trying to finish a baseline jumper. Missed. Melo showed him how the spin move works at the other end.
Roy with a little lefty in the lane
Roy is past 20 minutes with only 2 fouls, and he just had another block.
ROY!!!
Followed JGraham through the lane and swatted the shot. Foot movement even more impressive than the block.
I cant see the game right now...
but hibbs is kind of exciting me here.
Does anyone else get the text message updates after each quarter? Cause those have been pretty cool.
NBATV
Geez, woke up ready to restart from the tip-off this morning and my NBATV feed is as black as night. Completely out. So the recording is useless. Anyways, thanks for all the updates, Tom. Looks like this has been a terrific outing for the blue and gold.
AJ with a Billups-like finish
initiatede a little contact with Birdman to keep him off his shot and then made the layup.
