Ford Injures Ankle

T.J. Ford, the Pacers' top scorer in their loss to the Cavs lastnight, had to leave the game momentarily when he injured his left ankle on a drive to the basket.

Ford went straight to the locker room but returned a little more than two minutes later.

"I came down on it and twisted it," he said as he sat with it wrapped in ice afterward. "I rolled it on the inside. It's a twisted ankle, but you have to play through it, especially when it's in the fourth quarter."

Ford will be able to play through the ankle injury which will take anywhere between 1 and 2 weeks to heal.

"It's just a minor tweak. A little discomfort but nothing too serious," added Ford.

The Pacers prepare to host the Boston Celtics tomorrow night and try to get on the board against the reigning NBA champs as the Pacers have been defeated in both matchups with the Celtics so far this season.​

DerMarr beast!

lol, of all the things you couldve commented on....:shifty:

Good chise...tough loss to the Cavs. but where did you get the nba teams logo you use for your games?

Found them on photobucket a while back, and thanks.

 

[mfbmike]

do you remember the names of them

No, I have them in my photobucket now but I keep it private. lol.

 

[mfbmike]

They really need to put a disclaimer on games like these that if you choose to play with a shitty team you run the risk of throwing your controller at the wall.

Player Of The Game:

Kevin Garnett

Quote Of The Game:
"Once again, neck and neck with them throughout the whole 1st half. Went into the half knotted up at 50. Got Kevin and Ray both into foul trouble in the 3rd and still managed to have them drop 40 on us in the quarter. Obviously Paul Pierce is a very skilled player and stepped up bigtime in his teammates absence but this is not understandable at all." - Pacers GM Larry Bird

sick game with daniels man, really liking this.

hey listen i just started a blazers chise lol, and im looking to do screenshots for the first time, but i'm having trouble uploading them. i know how to use reelmaker and how to save my screenshot, i just don't know how to upload. would you be able to help?

 

[mfbmike]

As far as playoffs you're on the outside looking in. Hopefully you can get up there in that up and coming powerhouse being the Eastern Conference. Nice chise though, great detail.

Yep, first time I've ever been in this situation. It's kinda nice though. Different.

Thanks G-House. Haven't seen you in a while. It's nice here despite what you might've seen in that other thread. You should come around more often.

Yeah, best game with him so far this season. He's actually been knocking down shots these past 2 games. Some games I am as cold as ice with him. He isn't exactly the best free throw shooter either.

If you know how to use the reelmaker and save the screenshot, you got the hard part of the way. Once you save the screenshot, just load it, like you were loading an association or whatever and then hit the O button (Ps3) to upload. Whatever button corresponds to the button on the right on the 360 controller would be the button to upload. Then it'll show up on the 2k community site.

Granger Eager To Play

Indiana Pacers swingman Danny Grange could make his return from a strained achilles tendon injury next Wednesday when the Pacers host the Golden State Warriors if he doesn't suffer any setbacks in the following week of practice.

"He's progressing well," Pacers coach Jim O'Brien said before Sunday's game against Boston. "It will be great to have him in uniform again."

Granger is practicing with the team and often scrimmages afterward with teammates. Wally Szczberbiak, who has been starting in his place, will slide to the starting 2 spot while Marquis Daniels will find way back to his the 6th man role upon Granger's return.

The Pacers have 4 more games to play before Granger's projected return, all of which are on the road against Eastern conference teams. Toronto, the Pistons, Milwaukee and Washington.

The Pacers are 2-7 since Granger's injury.​

I was 5-6 and about to hit .500 before Granger went down. God damn that sucks. :rofl:

Player Of The Game:

Jermaine O' Neal

Quote Of The Game:
"Yeah, people will say our defense was the reason we lost this one but in the past couple of games, our bench hasn't given us the boost we've gotten used to getting. Willie (Solomon) came off their bench and dropped 12 on us while noone on our bench managed to get into double figures. In close games like this, the bench guys are the X-factor." - Pacers Coach Jim O' Brien

Tough times without Granger, but should be real nice to have him back so soon.

So soon? lol, not soon enough! It's already been 10 games without him and I've gone 2-8.

I have 3 more games without him. Meh, could've been worse I suppose, he could've been out for the season. lol.

Hopefully I can turn things around once he gets back and get back to at least .500.

 

[packersfan4eva]

dang, better get this team turned around

ZOMG no DerMarr update?!?!!?!!?!?
