The Utah Jazz arrive in Indy riding a 11 game winning streak, poised to be heard among the league's elite come playoff time. Carlos Boozer recently returned to action for the Jazz, although he missed their last game on Sunday against Toronto and remains a game-time decision with an ankle tweak. The team won all six games Boozer played in before the ankle issue intervened.
Earlier in the season, the Pacers were ambushed in Utah but battled their way back into the game before running out of gas and time. Both teams were running and gunning in Utah so I imagine we'll see the same thing tonight. One thing I hope we don't see again, is a field day from the floor for Mehmet Okur. Okur lit up the Pacers for a career-high 43 points in Salt Lake City, draining shots from all over the gym.
Here are the Pacers.com Matchups. Danny Granger is not expected back tonight, still battling the foot injury that has sidelined him the past 9.5 games.
For the Utah perspective, check out SLC Dunk.
Gameday Reading
- Mike Wells is back on the beat reporting on Danny Granger remaining sidelined against the red-hot Utah Jazz.
- Bruno's latest Caught in the Web has hopes for Granger returning to the lineup on Friday and breaks down the problems the Jazz pose for the Pacers.
- Troy Murphy takes us inside the team plane as he blogs during the flight to Sacramento. This is the 20 and 20 double-double of player blog posts. In other words, it's good.
- Kevin Lee reports on Granger sitting out tonight's game and the Pacers entering the game 1.5 games out of the 8th spot in the East . Jeff Foster also sat out practice yesterday to rest his back and is questionable tonight.
- Ross Siler reports on the Jazz taking their winning streak into Indy. Boozer practice some yesterday and his availability for tonight will be game-time decision.
- Paul Forrester takes a look at the Jazz gathering steam for a playoff run.
- David Stern remains positive that the NBA can navigate the rough financial waters facing the league.
- Indy's Capital Improvement Board considers springing for the Fieldhouse operating expenses.

Come back to us, Danny!
The tears in my eyes caused by your absence are allowing me to see only so much!
That said, I’m very excited about tonight’s game. Back at home, team is playing well, getting one of the final chances of the year to really make a splash on the league. I had the same level of excitement going into the last Pacers/Cavs game, so I’m hoping it bodes well.
Won’t say it’s a must win, but this team is running out of chances. Every loss is getting us one step closer to the door.
Bill Simmons Podcast
At about the 25 minute mark of Bill’s Podcast with Daryl Morey we get a little nugget about Miller and Artest. In essence Morey blames Reggie Miller for the brawl in a roundabout way. Funny but only if the Brawl doesn’t still hurt too much.
yeah I heard that
Interesting thought on Morey’s part (although there were of course tons of things that could have stopped it, like Ben Wallace chilling out about a foul with under a minute remaining).
I’d be curious to hear what else he thought about the brawl being that few people ever look at the brawl objectively with some time to reflect. I always like to point out that Artest held on to that guy for a second or two without hitting him and didn’t swing until he was hit first by another guy. Obviously there’s plenty of blame to go in Artest’s direction but at least he didn’t hit first. right? right? ok fine (I’ll never stop being defensive about how the brawl went down)
Say What?
Can you give me the cliff notes version?
However, I’d like to suggest to Artest that if he decides to jump in the stands again – he needs to make sure he’s jumping at the right guy (psssst – it’s not the guy in the white shirt and glasses).
Top 8 teams, winning percentage in the League
So far this year, the Pacers vs. the top teams
Lakers – Beat em
Cleveland – Beat em
Boston – Beat em
Orlando – Beat em
San Antonio – Lost to em (but still have a shot at home coming up)
Utah – lost a tough one, but big game TONIGHT
Houston – Beat em
Portland – Lost a crazy one – Home game vs Next week
We have also lost to these teams as well, but the fact remains, when we play well, we can beat any team in the league. There is a real possibility that Indy can have wins over the top quarter of the league this year, when considering their winning percentages, is really really impresive. It starts with a big win tonight against Utah. One suggestion: Dont let Okur go off for 85 again, and don’t let Deron hit another miracle, 35 foot shot-clock beater in the 4th.

Good reading over hear at indycornrows.
I loved Troy Murphy’s blog. I wish we had one of those from a Jazz player who isn’t Morris Almond. Good luck tonight. It should be a good game. Indiana is a scary team and you never know if the Jazz will decide to play defense on the road.
We will probably chat a bit tonight. Feel free to visit us over at SLCDUNK.com. We are nice folk and like chatting with other teams’ fans that aren’t Houston fans.
Oh, and might I mention that you guys got hosed with a phantom foul in Portland the other night. That is a crappy way to lose.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
Get your popcorn ready .....
This is going to be an exciting game. I can’t see a blow out even though it’s possible, Utah is a team of considerable talent not mention they have arguably the best coach in the League. Should come down the wire, thank GOD we are at home just in case it comes down to a close call.

Treys. Murphy is dropping them.

Asked JOB about Okur before the game
He seemed unconcerned with the 43 since the Pacers own turnovers did them in at Utah.
Hard to believe.

If I took a drink everytime the Pacers got a turnover...
I’d be hospitalized for alcohol poisoning.
But – these are the Pacers, so I have no idea how this end.
Wow
So it isn’t just the Kings he torches…

Is it fair to say
That you folks would have rather had Marreese Speights than Mr Hibbert?

No reason to hate HIbbert
I remember TZ posting a point about getting Hibbert in 07, and really not wanting him then. I’m still glad about it, but that’s not to say I wish a bad career on HIbbert either. I hope he does well in Indy.

Yeah that's fair
HIbbert is more of a complement to Murphy than Speights would be. It’s also moot; Speights wasn’t on the board when Indy had that pick either.

I had a feeling you were
Just because you knew ahead of time the broadcasts were going on, and you posted too quickly for it not to be true. (I didn’t know that for the fact.)
Outta curiosity, how full is Conseco?

The economy is playing a huge part in the hit I bet
That, and the staggering amount of PR hits the team has taken over the last 5 years.

That was a good example
Where not being as aggressive as Kellogg is talking about is important. (IT’s also a function of being a jump shooting team too.)

Jack’s hanging-in-the-air, throw-the-ball-to-nobody turnovers are getting really, really old.

That was Ford who did it that time wasn't it?
Or did the announcing guy (I don’t know who he is since the old dude—Albert—left) get the guy who did that wrong?

Indy's
I don’t know the guy who replaced Hot Rod Hundley either. It’s been awhile since I payed attention to the guy whose calling the game, unless I already know who it is.

Quinn Buckner is calling the game this time
That’s why when you said Kellog I was sort of confused. I like Clark Kellog a lot but he’s doing the college basketball thing on CBS. I like Quinn too, but Clark a little better.
They sound so similar Gwen
That’s why I get them confused. Whose the announcer?

Chris Denari is the play-by-play and Quinn Buckner does most of the games doing color
Clark used to do a lot of the games and then he got the college gig.
Yeah
That must be what it is. I get Buckner & Kellogg confused. I knew both of them did games, but I think Kellogg did the games when the CBS commitment didn’t run over.

Or that's what I thought anyway
I’ve always liked the (Steve?) Albert and Buckner tandem though. Denari sounds a lot like other play by play guys in the NBA.

I couldn't remember Al's first name
And, yeah, I know Marv’s weird. I preferred Al as the play by play guy to his brother too. Most people love Marv, but I’m not one of them.
I’m a Kevin Calabro guy if anything, and I wasn’t ever a Sonics fan.

Thought it was Jack
But it may just be a Pavlovian response thing to assume Jack did it when that happens.

I like their community though considering the troubles they’ve had before they changed it around. Indiana can relate.
Yep so can Sacramento

Portland is my bandwagon team this year...
Houston was last year and i thought I picked a good one until I realized it’s Houston and they never get past the 1st round:P
thats funny...
Houston was mine the last like 3 years, and POrtland is mine this year. I have Roy, Outlaw, Aldrigdge, Rudy and Sergio on my dam fantasy team. I don’t think theyre gona win a playoff round, but I really enjoy rooting for them. I hate to say it, but my Bandwagon team as far as who I think can make a splash are beating the pacers by 6 right now…

yeaaa...
its points are worth 1, rebounds 1.5, assists 2, blocks and steals 2.5 and turnovers -1. It is the old smallworld.com scoring system our league has used it for 7 years or so lol, its kinda weird but thats all we have ever done. Wade had the season high last night with 93.5 fantasy points, for thes eason granger at 42.2 and roy at 41.8.numbers 15 and 16 overall.. Wade is first at 58

Yeah
And a large part of that is that Roy doesn’t score at the same level Granger does. If he did, it wouldn’t be that close. Roy outdoes him across the board everywhere else doesn’t he?

I think several guys on our team don't go up with enough authority
The missed layups are baffling at times
In Hibbert's case it's so strange
To see a really big guy like that go up so softly & deliberately.

I know - Brandon Rush is the same way too
He’s not huge, but he looks like to have nice size. He’s so tentative at times.

That lead went up quickly. That pass from Williams to Millsap is why I love Deron Williams so much. He sees the floor in ways few PG’s in the NBA do.

5 blocks for Hibbert?
I just got on the computer. Has he looked impressive on D or have they just been a random collection of un-noticeable blocks?
No - I think he's done well
Some missed layups and fouls (of course) but he’s played better at the end of year.

That’s his 14th.

Which, after rooting for the worst Kings teams I can ever remember seeing this year, I don’t blame you.

This is the weirdest Indiana team I can ever remember watching
I’ve only watched since the Reggie years, but at least I knew what to expect. Indiana has played 18 games decided by 3 pts or less. It’s…frustrating and exhilarating at the same time.
I've only been watching consistently since the Rich Michmond years
So, for about 15 now. I feel ya. I just hope it’s an exciting fun game to watch. I have no stake in seeing either team win/lose. I just like to see good games and chat with fans of those teams.

Solid player for him is certainly attainable
Beyond that is in question. But, at 17th overall, if you get a solid rotation player, you’re doing pretty good.

They're a smoother offensive team
The Pacers are very herky jerky. It’s hard to maintain that for 48 mins. The Jazz are getting what they want. They just haven’t hit their shots with the frequency they prefer.

If he was...I haven't seen it.
I’m not a big stats person, but watching our PGs handle the ball is frightening. He’s very fast and quick, but he loses the ball in the paint and of throws the ball away…though sometimes I think it’s because he doesn’t have good court vision.
I think that's partly cuz he's short
Numbers wise, he’s had an off game yes. He also has 9 assists to 6 Turnover’s tonight too.

I don't mind talking to other team's fans but I don't like when they have to come over and gloat
I mean, no offense, but you’re friggin’ Utah. It’s not sexy. They’re not sexy. I can credit your team for playing well, but it’s lame.

It's been short and fun
Thanks for not trashing me too much.
I’m rather proud of our boys.
That Ford kid is one hella player, so is Murphy! Amazing 3 point machine.
