Still very nice Mike.

I don't check in for a day and I come back to see you with Sheed. Have the pre-game rituals been exciting?

Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom get a taste of some Randolph juice. Anthony Randolph had a breakout game tonight off the Pacers bench.

Player Of The Game:

Anthony Randolph

Quote Of The Game:
"We didn't plan on coming into this game and having our reserves log heavy minutes as our starters got rest. Our shots were falling, and their's, well, were not. As simple as that. They couldn't slow our offense down and we were in control throughout. Almost every guy on our roster joined in the fun tonight." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien

Next Game:

this little 5 game win streakk is going to end against my lakers, mark my word...your losing to the lakers 112-86

So much for that.

And if they had pre-game rituals (i.e. VC net grab, LBJ Chalk), it'd be so sweet. lol.

Randolph is a monster. :eek:

Roster News:


Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics and Marcus Camby of the Los Angeles Clippers have both made it public that they are interested in resigning with their respective teams.

Injuries:


Mike Dunleavy just returned from a strained achilles that kept him out of the lineup for 2 weeks. However, Dunleavy is now back on the injured reserve after suffering a broken hand and will miss another month. It has been an injury-riddled season so far for the former Pacer.

[Vinsane]

Nice win. 50+ win season coming?

I'll make the bold prediction and say the season collapses, Mike misses the playoffs and gets fired.
