The Indiana Pacers try to add to their win total tonigh when the Charlotte Bobcats pay them a visit at the Fieldhouse. Mike Dunleavy will likely remain in the starting lineup with his 28 minute limit. What will be interesting is to see how Dunleavy is managed in a few days when the Pacers play four games in five days. I can only assume the minutes limit will temporarily go down.
But for tonight, no Dunleavy-related problems have been reported so he must've survived the 33 minute outing in Orlando without any ill effects. Jeff Foster wasn't so lucky. After throwing his body against Dwight Howard for 15 minutes on Monday, Mighty Mike Wells reports that Foster's back needs a bit more time to recover so he will not be available tonight. Double-knots on the shoes, Solo.

I completely forgot
We made him look like an all-star last game.
Maybe we can just avoid any similarities to the last game. That’s what I want.
Ford and Hibby starting
Ford with a TO in the first 5 seconds of offense. AJ sighting tonight please?
Quick start for the Pacers
12-5 lead early. 12+5=17. There are seventeen people in attendance tonight, it appears.
Kings
trying to remedy their attendance problem tonight with $1 beer until halftime. Needless to say, I’m staying at home tonight for that one.
Drives me crazy
he gets into good position every time, but then jumps. He is not going to block every shot, just try to alter it with your hands up
Wish
I lived closer than an hour to Indy. I’d love to get to more games, Conseco could definitely use it.
Pacers up 24-20
Bobcats playing good ball. They’re getting aggressive on defense and that’s confusing the Pacers.
Hansbrough needs to dunk that
No nancy layups, just grab that and throw it down, erase the doubt of it being missed.
Bucks in town on Monday
Excited to see Jennings play. And lament that the Bucks took him three spots too high…
Saw a bit of him the other night
Never seen him play before, didn’t know what to expect. He has some explosiveness and can shoot the ball
Some of that falls on Watson too though right?
I mean why would they cut when he is just dribbling the ball 37 feet from the basket…
Everyone's to blame
Watson for finding himself at the half court line and the rest of the guys for just standing in position waiting on him to get out of his situation.
Eh, I’m just going to be pessimistic about it.
Duns with three fouls
Good from a minutes standpoint, but he keeps getting fouls, we can’t have him when we might need him at the end.
Though team’s doing well keeping it hovering around ten.
TJ's back
i really think watson and jones suck
damn roy
why is he trying to block everything cmon control your fouls dude
whats wrong with hibbert
he’s reaching for everything… he’s going against chandler….
very very frustating..
damn can’t he learn from murph
He seems like a smart player
I imagine he knows what he is doing wrong, it’s just a matter of training his body to not do those things!
very very
pleasant to watch. hope everyone plays like this when danny comes back
Oh no
we are going back to our old habits again….
im praying right now
that we don’t blow this big lead again
Im really liking
Brandon Rush he has good defense now only if the offense starts clocking
Monster Murph
like his defense or not
i love his spot up 3’s 5/5
Goin to my girl's house as soon as UPS shows up
This might be the first time I want Brown to be late…
why is Ford still
sitting in the bench?
i really think watson sucks
Just when you thought Pacers were ready to close it out
Steal and break away foul, and 5-0 run for Charlotte. Crap.
i think its JOB's fault
for subbing in Dunleavy and Ford late…. really
omg
omg cmon RUsh hit a three
not an airball this time
dagger
if ford can just put his TO’s down 6 still hurts
RUSH
RUSH RUSH RUSH Not an Airball this time HOPE THIS COUNTS COUNT COUNTS COUNTS
dahntay
just missed a crucial FT hope he makes one
OK he just missed both
Jones is way overrated
that actually went in
good thing time was gone
lets go 3 straight
memphis is definitely winnable
