The Indiana Pacers continue battling through their challenging February schedule when they host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.
The Nuggets have lost five in a row and seven of their last eight games while dealing with various injuries, so they surely don't want to hear the Pacers complain about losing two games in a row for the first time all season. Leading scorere Danilo Gallinari is sidelined for the Nuggs with a foot injury.
After returning to the court for the first time in 13 games last night, Jeff Foster will take the night off to rest and recover for the Miami Heat on Tuesday night. The Nuggs will go big tonight starting Nene at power forward and Kosta Koufos at center.
Here is the Pacers.com preview. For a Denver perspective, check out Denver Stiffs. Also, after the game check outPacers Overtime on WIBC 93.1FM with Eddie White. Need to have an Indy Cornrows mention on the show!

aaaannnnndddd....
yep, I’ve completely forgiven ron artest and stephen jackson. thank you sir, closure.
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
woo shooting 89%
all night baby, all night
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
6 minutes in the bonus
cash in cash in cash in
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
4, unless sparhawk left haha
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
great first q for danny, shame he couldnt drop that last shot and get 20
but the defense needs to step up, i have a feeling we wont be shooting 78% all night
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
hope people start flocking back.
only wish i could be there
aj!
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
Why is Lou still in there with 4 fouls? Get Pends out there.
And it's now my sig

Really Price? We have a fast break and you level a guy. Ugh.
We still suck at fast breaks.
And it's now my sig

just when DG starts shooting well,
PG starts a slump
silly me.
here i thought we’d have a double digit lead at the half.
Getting back on D has been a problem over the past few games. smh
And it's now my sig
by Bronn on May 17, 2011 4:56 PM EDT
I don’t buy that. Other teams are playing just as much as the Pacers.
And it's now my sig
by Bronn on May 17, 2011 4:56 PM EDT
i think we have played more road games than any other team.
that has to take away some spring
Pacers seem to relax too much with a lead and they blow leads quicker than I’ve ever seen. Blew a 21pt lead in 5 min. How the hell does that happen.
We blew a 9-10pt lead in a matter of minutes with TOs and not getting back on D.
And it's now my sig
by Bronn on May 17, 2011 4:56 PM EDT
we have a tendency to go complacent whenever we have a lead.
still lack a killer instinct if you asked me
sorry but i can't help it.
is it just me, sparhawk and tom lewis here tonight?
hope so.
hate to think that the usual suspects here have lost faith
i was paying attention to this at the start, since then too nervous about being tied after getting 20 from danny and 13 from aj to formulate posts
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
reply fail
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
somehow i feel like it's a lone ranger and tonto
vs nuggets tonight
Cmon why do you go with 2nd unit
go with 1st unit for 12 minutes cmon
Hopefully a 3 game losing streak will be a huge kick in the balls and wake these Pacers up.
Hill is also a bigger loss than we all thought. Anyone off the bench could have been injured and we would be fine, but Hill was the one guy you didn’t want to get hurt.
And it's now my sig
by Bronn on May 17, 2011 4:56 PM EDT
We don't have an athletic PF
in a mold like Josh Smith
I just want the Pacers to go back to playing good D. What the hell happened?
And it's now my sig
by Bronn on May 17, 2011 4:56 PM EDT
hate to say this but
seems like this is the pacers of old. peaked in the 1st month of the season
maybe this is just a case of a home game
being the 2nd of a back-to-back
5 rebounds for Hibbert, too good to box out these days all-star?
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
i think that's the plan.
hence, we did not even offer an extension.
im gonna try not to jump to conclusions
But if by chance you are mocking my understanding of our capacity to get a “better” center then by all means fuck off. Im not asking for dwight howard, Im asking for a guy whose 7’2" to block out on the defensive glass.
oh what a pass by STEPHENSON! AND THEN ITS PAUL GEORGE!
bye guys.
want to get drunk in the middle of the day here in asia
Oi.
Couldn’t afford to take a three game skid against the Heat, but here we are. Keep working.

Seems like
Vogel keeps his starters out too long. I can appreciate trying to save your guys for this compressed season, but it is getting to be too much.
