Talk about messin' with the biorhythms. The Indiana Pacers have a rare day game today at the Milwaukee Bucks. Not only does the game start at 1:00PM but it tips after everyone lost an hour of sleep thanks to springing their clocks forward for Daylight Savings Time. Throw in the fact that there's no TV and you could consider this the lost he schedule. Fortunately, Mark Boyle and Slick Leonard will be providing the high def visuals with their radio call.
Last we heard, T.J. Ford was doubtful to play today meaning Earl Watson would likely take his spot in the starting lineup. JOB has preferred to go small against the Bucks in the past to avoid leaving Roy Hibbert on Andrew Bogut. If he sticks with that plan I assume Dahntay Jones will get the start, but I'm hopeful Hibbert gets the start and logs the much needed experience of dealing with a center like Bogut who is playing quite well.
For a Milwaukee perspective, check out Brew Hoop.

Bad feeling about this one
Bucks are hot and at home, game’s early, not on TV, probably wearing the banana suits, this is going to be a disastrous game. Maybe I’ll be wrong, but I somehow doubt everyone gets up for this one.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 12:40 PM EDT reply actions
At least we should see A.J. get minutes
Even if Watson is playing 45 of them.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 12:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Apparently
Dunleavy got jacked in the face by a ball during warmups and had to head back to the locker room.
Banana suits today
Hopefully I’m not predicting the rest of it right.

Rush with a smooth jumper
Looking assertive today.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:13 PM EDT reply actions
Pacers with some good D early
Keeping Milwaukee off the scoreboard.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:14 PM EDT reply actions
Watson pulled the veteran move on the rook
Get ’em in the air.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:14 PM EDT reply actions
Tried to watch it
Screw that. Gonna have to go with Mark & Slick.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:19 PM EDT reply actions
Bucks on an 8-0 run
With Mbah a Moute at the line.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:19 PM EDT reply actions
No Duns today
Due to an eye contusion.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:26 PM EDT reply actions
McBobs in
Bucks still up. Rush and Roy playing well.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:35 PM EDT reply actions
A.J. gets the start for the second
Him, McBobs, Brandon, Danny on the floor. Murph as well.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:39 PM EDT reply actions
Sounds like Stack
Is taking Danny to school today. Not cool.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:42 PM EDT reply actions
I don't think it's on anything
Lakers/Raps on NBA TV right now.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:46 PM EDT up reply actions
I tried that
But my computer wasn’t having it, so I have to go with the old online radio thing. Can’t even do traditional radio, since the local radio station that carried it sold out to ESPN and now don’t get Mark and Slick.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Well
Early start + west coast time + daylight savings time = I just woke up and missed the first quarter!
For the record
John Wall made a great player to end the half. Didn’t get the last second shot to fall, but broke a couple ankles before throwing up the runner a bit hard.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:51 PM EDT reply actions
You see that behind the back move he made towards the end of the game yesterday? He accelerated through the move! Unbelievable…
I'm pretty excited
To see how he looks in the second half of a championship game. And then right after that, I’ll get to see how Turner works. Gotta try and keep an eye on Favors as well.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions
2-6, 7 PTS, 3 REB. Jackets down seven at half.
Drove the lane effectively on his second FG.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions
Pacers shooting 28%
Losing rebounds 27-13.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:52 PM EDT reply actions
Pacers hanging in the 8-10 range
Could be worse.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 1:59 PM EDT reply actions
Whats up guys/gal blazers fan here...
whats with murphy? he getting dominated by bogut? why anit ya killin the bucks!
by These Refs Suck on Mar 14, 2010 1:59 PM EDT reply actions
Murph has tuned out since the trade deadline, ha
But Bogut’s struggling big time today. 2-7 from the floor, 2-5 from the line. Roy Hibbert seems to be doing well.
We’re not killing the Bucks because we’re not good, haha. Bucks are hot right now too. Glad to be within ten.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Simple
Bogut is a better player than Murphy. Bucks are a better team than the Pacers. I hated writing that, but it’s true!
I need to know when the last time we were swept by Milwaukee
If ever. Cause it has to have been a long long long time. If ever. But I’m trying to figure out if I can’t manipulate b-r.com without having to go through every year.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Pacers 13-13 from the line
Helping keep them in this one.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:02 PM EDT reply actions
damn...
bogut is tankin alot of shots… whos guardin him? hibbert?
by These Refs Suck on Mar 14, 2010 2:03 PM EDT reply actions
He was to open the game
I assume it’s him, Murphy, and McRoberts.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:04 PM EDT up reply actions
In trying to figure out when we were last swept by Milwaukee
We were almost swept in 03-04 of all years. Went 1-3 against them.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:09 PM EDT reply actions
Sweep
Last happened in 1981-82 (0-6). Also in 1977-78 (0-4) and 1979-80 (0-2). Been a long long time. Like to avoid that.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:16 PM EDT up reply actions
49-41 Bucks
Pacers keeping in it thanks to free throws.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:09 PM EDT reply actions
Getting murdered on the glass
Bucks with 14 offensive, 34 total boards. Pacers with 1 and 17 total. Gotta show some more heart in the second half
John Wall update
Halfway through the second. Struggling from the floor (2-9, 4 PTS), but it playing great with hustle. Has 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and only 2 turnovers.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:28 PM EDT reply actions
Granger coming to life
Determination is his middle name.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:29 PM EDT reply actions
Roy struggling
Not getting any touches offensively it seems, and can’t stop Bogut defensively.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:37 PM EDT reply actions
Granger living on the line
Drawing fouls on Bogut. That’s something.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:40 PM EDT reply actions
Kind of sad we're dominating the game in FTs
And still down double digits.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:46 PM EDT reply actions
Should be interesting in the bubble case this year
With them and MInnesota kind of being on the same level of the bubble. Still doesn’t mean we need to expand the field to 256.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions
Just can't get it going. Shooting 32 percent.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions
Seems like
this is an entire game of shooting ourselves in the foot. Every time we make a run, a stupid turnover is forced. Frustrating
Oh my
Kentucky just forced OT on a last second tip. Five more minutes of John Wall.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:04 PM EDT reply actions
Kind of ironic
That the free throws are what’s keeping us from getting within ten. Three misses in this quarter, which are all of the misses.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:10 PM EDT reply actions
Ooh
Rush with five straight to pull it to six.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:14 PM EDT reply actions
A.J.!!
Driving the lane and drawing the foul on Bogut! Four on him. Hit ’em, A.J.!
Dwa? A.J. got called for the technical.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:16 PM EDT reply actions
Wow
John Wall got a leaning horizontally three pointer to dagger Miss St.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:17 PM EDT reply actions
Oh, bad turnover
A.J. tried to needle it to Rush, out of bounds.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:19 PM EDT reply actions
Miss St.
Loses a heartbreaker thanks to Wall and Cousins. Hmm.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:21 PM EDT reply actions
Price seems like he is being aggressive
but can’t get anything to fall. Remember you got DG33 out there young fella!
Oh man, March Madness
C’mon, get it, guys.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:25 PM EDT reply actions
Tell me about it
Huge tragedy if that’s the case.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Slick wants to go for the win
Pacers still haven’t played an OT game this year.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:26 PM EDT reply actions
All right, I know how this ends
Wait…Dunleavy’s not in there! So no last second shot with seven to go!
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:26 PM EDT reply actions
guys?
ESPN gamecast has Granger missing a shot with 2.9 sec left, what happened next???
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
ahh, they got the board
"If you don't [draft me], I promise you I'll come back and kick your ass for the next 15 years."
Sounds like
Danny committed a foul with about .4 to go.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:29 PM EDT up reply actions
Down two
1.1 to go…Bucks at the line. Pacers have a chance if Salmons misses one.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:29 PM EDT reply actions
Bummer
At least they made it interesting.
by goodlucksaturday on Mar 14, 2010 3:31 PM EDT reply actions
At least
we got some excitement at the end of the game. Nice job by the Pacers to show a little fight. John Wall!!!!
