With the NBA Trade Deadline less than 30 hours away, every team’s GM has their BlackBerry perpetually plugged into their charger. Things are getting crazy, and as more and more trades begin to happen, the rumors are only becoming more intense. One team that many think could benefit from a trade is the Milwaukee Bucks. Do they ship Kurt Thomas to a contender? Does anybody want Michael Redd? Do they do anything this season, or just kind of ride it out? With all this in mind, I got up with Jeremy Schmidt of Bucksketball to try and figure out the Bucks’ next move. Read More »
Earl Watson is not normally one for YouTube highlights (or at least ones of his own), but this shot in last night’s game against the Bulls is kind of nasty. To have the composure to gather the ball after Tyrus Thomas knocked it away, and step up and knock it down from half court, shows why he’s been in the League so long.
This is just savage. To go along with LeBron’s 22-point, 13-assist performance is a route of the Pacers last night, ‘Bron also had four blocks, including this destruction of a Danny Granger drive. Poor Senor Buckets never had a chance …

Help might be coming soon for the Indiana Pacers. Mike Dunleavy Jr. who had surgery last spring to remove a bone spur in his right knee has been cleared by doctors to play.

This is definitely good news for the 5-6 Pacers, who are in need of another scoring option, particularly one on the perimeter.
One of the few bright spots in the Indiana Pacers’ slow start has been the encouraging play of second-year center Roy Hibbert. Throughout the preseason and the early part of the regular season, the former Georgetown Hoyas standout has upped all his stats. In his first four games of the ‘09-10 season, Hibbert is averaging 10.8 points, 10.3 rpg and 2.2 bpg. We sat down with Roy a few nights ago, when the Pacers were in town to play the Knicks.

Indiana Pacers star Danny Granger is as low key as it gets. But after Indiana’s third straight loss against Denver on Tuesday night, Granger aka Batman made a big statement by storming out of the locker room without speaking to the media. Prior to last night’s game against the Knicks, we talked to the All-Star about the slow start and getting that first win. As fate would have it three hours later, Granger got 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals as the Pacers went on to earn that inaugural “W”. Read More »
