Open Game Thread #44: Pacers at Bucks

by Cornrows on Jan 24, 2008 4:48 PM EST in News Comment 9 comments

Here's Bruno's Scouting Report which focuses on Jeff Foster's ability to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances with the Pacers that often force his playing time to fluctuate. I'm sure Travis Diener is amped up to play near his home town of Fond du Lac, but his right foot remains a problem. He's no defensive wiz, but you could tell by the way he was moving around at both ends last night that the foot was obviously bothering him. Regardless of who plays, I'm sure Mo Williams will be the first one to the arena tonight, eager to get things going.

For an outstanding Bucks' perspective, check out Brew Hoop. And when I say, check it out, I don't mean just tonight, but all the time. Great stuff on the Bucks and the NBA in general.

Here's what the efficiency numbers say:

Team	Pace	Off.Eff.	Def.Eff.
IND	97.4(2nd)	105.7(19th)	107.1(11th)
MIL	89.6(19th)	105.4(20th)	112.2(27th)

Projected Starters

PACERS	pos.	BUCKS
Mike Dunleavy	F	Royal Ivey
Danny Granger	F	Yi Jianlian
Troy Murphy	C	Andrew Bogut
Kareem Rush	G	Michael Redd
Jamaal Tinsley	G	Mo Williams

You can't stop Mike Dunleavy JR!

You can only hope to contain him!

Game of Runs so far

I hate cliche's which is why I'm so adept at using them. For the record it's either watch SA vs Mia (yuck) or Mil-Indy. At least with the Bucks & Pacers there is a semblance of watchable basketball.
