The Nets will face another (slightly) banged-up team Tuesday night when they play the 13-6 Pacers in Super Bowl-mad Indianapolis. The problem is the Nets are really banged up, with MarShon Brooks and DeShawn Stevenson joining the (barely) walking wounded that already included Brook Lopez, Damion James and Mehmet Okur.
Roy Hibbert, the Pacers' 7'2" center, has been making great strides, but he underwent surgery Monday to repair a broken nose. If he plays he'll wear a mask. He also has a bum right ankle. Jeff Foster is out with a bad back. Otherwise, the Pacers should be fine and they are becoming a solid if young team, with Hibbert, Danny Granger, Darren Collison, David West and Paul George (who went 5-for-5 from three when the two teams played in Newark).
The Nets may have to start Larry Owens, the D-League call-up at small forward with Stevenson and Damion James out and Shawne Williams restricted to limited minutes. Brooks status will be updated later today although his tweets seemed to indicate he won't be out long.

so
if deron scores 20+ and hump has a double double and everyone else does their normal thing, do we win this game?
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
gonna have to play perfect on offense(less than 10 turnovers, 45%+ FG%, 50% from 3, at least 20 made free throws on 80% or higher clip)
and actually do something on defense

hopefully Jwill gets some minutes.. hes got to be given a chance to prove his worth.
Conditioning should not be an issue anymore… Owens and jwill are our x factors while the rest are down and injured.

Stranger things have happened
There’s a reason we actually play the games. Okay, I’m out of cliche lines to stay optimistic. Anybody got anything else?
With two potential first rounders
Lopez and Brooks…couldn’t the Nets build a team like the Pacers, without Howard?

Recent Dwight stories that are signicant - all pointing to Dwight departing sooner than later -
Ric Bucher:

Conclusion is still that Howard is traded after the All Star game.
Does this mean that all the talk about Nets clearing ADDITIONAL cap space to make room for Lopez’ 7.7 million cap hold is unnecessary?
i think it is posturing
Nets do that a lot. leak a false story to the dumb basketball writers who don’t use logic to confirm their story in other to try to push an action. it is generally unsuccessful.

Some minor outlets fell for it, and printed that Nets were giving up on season.
The more ORL believes that Nets could sign Howard without giving up anything in return, the more likely ORL is to trade Howard – which I believe is what BK wants.

DWill needs to go 30 and 10, Morrow add 20, Hump grab 20 boards
and we’ll be alright
and though they gotta worry about West and possibly Hibbert...
…Hansborough plays like someone just wanting to wreck **** up.
In the past 5 games, Morrow's shooting numbers:
17ppg on 48% FG, 41% 3PT
so
D-Will………Collison
Morrow…….George
Owens……..Granger
Hump……….West
Petro/Shelden…….Hibbert
not even bringing up the bench because there is no reason for the Pacers to lose unless they go partying right before the game or get kidnapped
