I'm running a bit behind today so I won't give you the most in depth pre-game breakdown of all time. Instead, I'll try to horrify you with a particularly gruesome graphic.

The good news is that the Hornets are a team we can beat. They are young and playing below average basketball on the year. One day their collection of draft picks will take off like we've seen happen with the Pistons. But that seems at least a season away.
However, keep your eyes peeled for Kon Kneuppel who has hit the ground running as a rookie. He's been scoring with a veteran efficiency and is likely leading the pack for Rookie of the Year.
On the Pacers side, we'll see yet another starting lineup. This time, Sheppard and Mathurin man the wings. Hopefully Mathurin can continue where he left off and be a catalyst for our abysmal offense.
