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.
Apparently
Dunleavy got jacked in the face by a ball during warmups and had to head back to the locker room.
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.
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.
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.
Whats up guys/gal blazers fan here...
whats with murphy? he getting dominated by bogut? why anit ya killin the bucks!

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.
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.
damn...
bogut is tankin alot of shots… whos guardin him? hibbert?

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Price seems like he is being aggressive
but can’t get anything to fall. Remember you got DG33 out there young fella!
All right, I know how this ends
Wait…Dunleavy’s not in there! So no last second shot with seven to go!
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."
At least
we got some excitement at the end of the game. Nice job by the Pacers to show a little fight. John Wall!!!!
