    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SALT LAKE CITY, March 5 (Ticker) -- Thanks to Jermaine O'Neal and Ron Artest, the Indiana Pacers could lose their final 20 games and still make the postseason.

    O'Neal collected 30 points and 10 rebounds and fellow All-Star Artest scored eight of his 17 points in the fourth quarter as the Pacers defeated the Utah Jazz 96-88 to become the first team to clinch a playoff berth.

    It is the seventh consecutive season and 14th in 15 campaigns that the Pacers (46-16) will play in the postseason. They have the longest current playoff streak of any team in the Eastern Conference.

    Maybe Jermane will sit a few out now? id rather see him sit out a few now than a few at the end for fantasy basketball purposes.

    IM sure he will sit a little and so will Artest they will lose some minutes per game, but not for fantasy reasons, for health reasons, the Pacers dont want them getting injured before the PLay offs

    It is VITAL..That they sit down now..Like the report says..We can lose 20 games and still be fine..So it is better if we rest J.O and let the other guys get some more playing time experience!
