Open Game Thread #20: Pacers at Magic
The Pacers are in Orlando tonight to take on the Magic, a team that has emerged as an Eastern Conference heavyweight so far this season.
Check out Bruno's Scouting Report for the details. Thoughts and prayers with Shawne Williams and his family on the passing of his grandmother. Shawne is back in Memphis to attend funeral services.
If you want to learn more on the daunting task facing the Pacers tonight, check out TrueHoop's post on Dwight Howard. Howard is the consensus 'Beast of the East' if not the whole Association. The fact that he's only 21 makes the whole situation borderline disgusting.
Enough for now, I'm home early from work to take the boys sledding.
For some Magic perspective, check out Third Quarter Collapse.
Here's what the efficiency numbers say:
| Team | Pace | Off.Eff. | Def.Eff. |
|---|---|---|---|
| IND | 97.9(2nd) | 104.8(18th) | 106(12th) |
| ORL | 94.4(7th) | 110.3(11th) | 101.4(2nd) |
Projected Starters
| PACERS | pos. | MAGIC |
|---|---|---|
| Jermaine O'Neal | F | Rashard Lewis |
| Danny Granger | F | Hedo Turkoglu |
| Jeff Foster | C | Dwight Howard |
| Mike Dunleavy | G | Keith Bogans |
| Jamaal Tinsley | G | Jameer Nelson |

Pacers are so weird
I thought the Magic went to lobbing up threes a little early in the 4th once they were down and they could've just thrown it down low to Howard and had him do his thing. That's just me though. Good game.
