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.
