Danny Granger??

[deanblue9]

Anyone know if he's playing tonight?

 

[Snookslayer]

He's not on the injury list.

 

[yanni_gogolak]

why wouldnt he be?
he's played the last 3 games

 

[knucklecup]

He's not 100%, but he'll most likely play.

The Pacers haven't been the same since his productions cooled off though.

Tread lightly.

 

[deanblue9]

I hope that his production will be better tonight. I really like the Pacers +5.5. Any input on the game.

 

[knucklecup]

I lean towards the Pacers tonight, only because Granger looked excellent against Minnesota but I'm not sure I'll have a play on this one.

Not until I regain confidence in them.

i agree, i like philly here. they have been a different team the past couple fo weeks

 

[xbaggypants]

I wouldn't lay a cent on IND tonight., looks like a trap to me. IND will be looking ahead to ORL tomorrow night.

 

[Deke101]

I think IND will be looking for a win tonight cuz they know they won't win at Orlando tomorrow night.

Brand is hurt too.

Pacers ML.

I have a lean on Philly in this one- They let the game against Boston get away and will be looking to bounce back.. Brand being hurt doesnt mean anything, he didnt play the whole seond half of the Boston game..

 

[buddygurt]

brand is out for the season

they are home tomorrow and its the exact opposite thinking. they still have a chance at a playoff spot and it would be a great revenge game after getting blown out by ORL a week ago. the 76ers play better w/o brand too.

whered you hear this???

sixers will have a presser around 5 to announce this

Was making a point about what the guy said before me, that they will overlook Philly cuz they just wanna beat Orlando.

WHY would this make sense?

Orlando is 3 games back from the Eastern conference leader and WILL be in the playoffs.

Philly is 16.5 games back and is a team that is actually in the path of Indiana's playoff spot.

So WHY would Indiana blow this game off just to HOPE they can win tomorrow so they can still not make the playoffs and be able to say they won a home game against Orlando?

:drink:

 

[deanblue9]

Deke101,

I do have to agree with you on your reasoning about the Pacers looking forward toward the Orlando's game. Logically, this is clearly the game that they must focus on.

Thanks buddygurt

look at it this way. which is a better motivator for the team. beating the 6ers tonight or beating one of the best teams in the league tomorrow, friday night at home. they have already beat BOS, HOU, LAL, DET, and ATL at home, and lost to ORL by 2. if they can get someone to get in their ear and tell them how good they "could be", it could get some momentum going for them.

the tinsley issue however will be a big hump.
