you wont believe this but now samaki is out with a right thigh contusion! I would say more but i just realised that this is all a horrible nightmare. i know that in a few mins im gonna get up from this nightmare and everybody will be fit and ready to play,so im gonna shut up now and wait to get up.peace out!!
in light off the realization that it was not all a dream,i'm back.apart from the afore mentioned problem tonights game turned out pretty good. as soon as walker went out we went small with granger actually spending most of the time as the centre.making use of his 7-1 wingspan, simply brilliant was his performance considering he was up against nazr and rasho,finishing with an amazing 19 points 2 steals 2 blocks and a game high 15 rebounds including 8 on the offensive end. it is clear although just a pre-season game that he is ready for the nba.Artest and bender had good games too, infact bender came out on fire and kept the pacers in the game early.he ended up with 17points on a very good shooting night,artest ended up with another 20 point outing and had a strong 13 rebounds to add to those points including going 2 for 2 from long range.all in all good to see that pacers are doing good with what they have. imagine: C-Granger Pf-O'neal Sf-Artest Sg-SJAx Pg-Tinsley wow!!
