First off, a mea culpa. I've had nightmares about forgetting to post a game thread ever since we moved over here and yesterday it finally came true. You guys deserve better and I sincerely apologize. Won't happen again.

The Pacers won a thriller last night against the Mavs. So much for them forfeiting, I guess. You'd like to see the Pacers give themselves a better margin of error but I'm not complaining about game-winning daggers.

The Nets are bad. Like, only two wins in their last 13 games bad. For any other team, tonight would be a cake walk, even on the second-leg of a back-to-back. But unfortunately this is the Pacers we're talking about so expect a rock fight.

Expect D'Angelo Russell to go for 40. Expect Keon Johnson to look like prime Russel Westbrook. Expect Nick Claxton ... well I won't go overboard.
