40 and 12 means nothing when you are trying to get to early June. You have to forget about the first half of the season. I know that the Heat are going to come out with guns blazing, but how will the Pacers come out? Will Frank’s team come out with the same intensity that the Pacers had in the first half of the season? Or will they play sloppy basketball? Which will mean the Pacers will turn the ball over. One can only hope that the team’s good chemistry is still there from the first half. I am not implying that I think that the Pacers will fall flat on their faces, but I am just telling you what the media will be watching. I think that the Pacers’ chemistry in the first half was so good, and that’s why Frank was able to coach the Eastern Conference All Stars on Sunday. I will also be watching Lance Stevenson, because in my opinion he got left out of the All Star game. Here is what I think you should watch for in tonight’s game.
Frank needs to put a body on Kyle from Atlanta, because if he gets going then the Pacers will have to deal with him all night long. I think that there should be no reason for Atlanta to come into our building tonight and dominate us. I predict that the Pacers will man handle the Hawks by 30. It’s going to be a blowout for the Pacers. The final score will be Pacers 116 and Atlanta 89.
