Nope, no injuries. Miliic was involved in a 3 team trade with me last season. I gave them an expiring iirc.

yea grizzlies look nice. good win

Nice win, Griz are looking like a legit team finally.

I forgot to edit their record, they were 28-28 before this game. But still, very good for a young team. Imagine if they had a solid center. Either way, they are right in the playoff race in the west and weren't as easy this time around. lol.

It's funny seeing Mike Bibby back on the team he was drafted by after all these years.

[LC AAU]

Mike your team is rolling :shakehands:

[mfbmike]

granger is playen like lbj on this game for u

He was already a potent scorer when I started. I've developed the other aspects of his game to make him my "jack of all trades".

Similiar to an LBJ, yeah. :rockwoot:

Crawford Out With A Bruised Hip



Indiana Pacers guard Jamal Crawford bruised his left hip early in the 2nd quarter of the Pacers matchup against the Grizzlies lastnight.

Crawford attempted to drive towards the basket when he ran into Grizzlies rookie Blake Griffin and crashed hard to the floor on his left side.

As the whistle for the shooting foul was called, Crawford laid on the court, writing in pain.

Following a 20-second timeout, Crawford was helped to the locker room and sat out for the remainder of the game.

Crawford missed this mornings practice because of the bruised hip and is reported to be questionable for the Pacers matchup against the Bobcats tonight. Pacers trainers say he'll more than likely "miss a few games."

Expect to see Brandon Rush fill in for Crawford in his absence.

Brandon Rush

Quote Of The Game:
"We had great production out of some of our guys off the bench and that is huge when you have a starter nursing an injury. Not to mention, Brandon filled the void very nicely. It's been a shaky season for him as far as his role on the team with the roster moves that have been made, but he continues to show he is a capable player on this team." - Pacers GM Larry Bird

Mike just keeps pwnin nubs.

[Flight24]

rush filled in very nicely. love the pacers stadium, so clean looking.

[mfbmike]

nice win, you betta lose to my Nets.

The Nets.

All kidding aside, they used to give me trouble in our early matchups. Only because it seemed like they would get out on the break on every single possession. I should be alright but they are probably the "best" worst team in the league.

If that makes any sense.

Mike just keeps pwnin nubs.

It's too easy. Seems like the schedule for the 2nd half of the season has been much easier.

rush filled in very nicely. love the pacers stadium, so clean looking.

It's grown on me. I especially love how if you are pushing the ball upcourt fast and have numbers or pushing the break, there is a sound clip of cars racing by.

Tribute to the whole Indy 500 deal. It's sweet. lol.

Very nice win without Crawford.
GL against TS Nets (not that you'll need it against the Nets)

Rush stepped up bigtime. He's a solid contributor. At first I was so pissed at the Pacers for trading Bayless (he was my favorite player out of the draft) but Rush has come around.

Nice win, your cruising threw the season, can't wait til playoffs.

20 games left! I'm 5 wins away from matching last seasons win total.

[goDawgs1433]

Really nice win over the Bobcats, love the balanced scoring.

Good to see you're enjoying this as much as we all are. You need to pass last year's win total!

[Leftwich]

Mike I can't believe you still have this chise going....
