Knicks won't win, no no. Pacers by 5.

BTW, where do you get your logos from? Get them from nba.com, yours seem so old.

No it's not that I want to know, but that they are old-fashioned and making a suggestion to you to change it.

Nice Preview. I think the Pacers are going to win this one in a close game down to the wire. Both teams are good and can only get better from my eyes. But the Pacers will just dominate towards the end. Jermaine, Reggie and Ron will have a big game along with Van Horn, Thomas , and Marbury IMO

 

[3-pt.-gunner]

The Pacers should win even though J.O. is hurt. Just look at their overall record. It's the best in the league baby!

So any idea whether Jermaine O'Neal is going to play or not? Everywhere I've read is Questionable or Doubtful. Knicks are also expected to win by 3 though in the spreads.

 

[Ming637]

Great win over the best team in the league. Stephon Marbury has 23 points and 8 assists, Keith Van Horn had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Kurt Thomas had 9 points and 12 rebounds, Dikembe Mutombo had 3 blocks.
