Watched the game on NBA League Pass and was most impressed. Hope
Danny Granger has a good dentist!
Previously I had watched the Pistons take the Pacers apart....really
no surprise as the Pistons are deeper than just about anyone else in
the NBA. And I watched the Celtics beat the Cavs. Cavs are not very
good on the road as they lost in New Orleans last night as well.
With only 2 games played in the regular season it is hard and
dangerous to draw any definitive conclusions, but I like what I'm
seeing from the Pacers and think they can only go up when Dunleavy
returns.
Now I need to catch a Raptors game to see how Jermaine is fitting in.
