Lakers - Pacers Preview Per NBA.com

It's not clear if Indiana Pacers fans will get to see one player who was a key part of their past and one who tormented them many seasons ago.
Roy Hibbert and Kobe Bryant are both questionable for the Los Angeles Lakers in Monday night's visit to face Paul George and the Pacers.
It's an interesting debate as to whether fans in the Hoosier state are more interested in watching Hibbert or Bryant play for Los Angeles (11-42) in this contest.
Hibbert spent his previous seven seasons with the Pacers (27-24), making the All-Star team twice and ranking 11th in club history with 5,909 points, fourth with 990 blocks and seventh with 3,623 rebounds. The center developed into one of the league's top defensive players before he was traded in the offseason to the Lakers for a second-round pick.
He sprained his left ankle in Saturday's 106-102 loss at San Antonio so it's not clear if will be on the floor as a visitor for the first time at Indiana's only trip to the NBA Finals.
Although Bryant is the NBA's worst shooter among qualifying players at 35.4 percent, he's been more effective at 40.7 percent while averaging 28.3 points in his last four games. He scored 25 on Saturday as the lowly Lakers nearly ruined the Spurs' perfect home record.
The 37-year-old guard said afterward that it isn't easy getting his aging body ready to play.
"I was happy that I was able to get loose a little bit," he said. "I felt like the tin man for a while. I couldn't find any oil anywhere to loosen up these joints."
Bryant will play in the All-Star Game opposite Pacers star George, who has totaled 61 points on 52.9 percent shooting in his last two games after averaging 14.0 on 27.3 percent in his previous two.
"I think as one of the leaders of this team, offensively I'm looked upon to be the scorer," George said. "I think I was pressing in the past two games, it was just my rhythm. I feel like my rhythm, I'm not rushing, I'm playing my pace and it's been putting me at a better rhythm."
Indiana used a style it calls "smash-mouth" in Saturday's 112-104 home victory over Detroit with big men Myles Turner starting alongside Ian Mahinmi, who returned to the lineup after a four-game absence with a sore lower back.
"Coach (Frank Vogel) has been telling us we're a smash-mouth basketball team," Turner said.
The Pacers held a 42-38 edge on the glass and should enjoy similar success against a Lakers team near the bottom of the league in rebound margin at minus-4.1.
Los Angeles missed a chance at its second three-game win streak Saturday. Julius Randle had 15 points and 17 boards.
Indiana has captured four of the last five meetings after winning 107-103 on Nov. 29 behind George's 39 points. Bryant made 4 of 20 shots and scored 13.

He is; but we will probably see this Laker vs ex-Laker match-up some. |

We just need Lou Williams to sit this game too so we can see this lineup in action.
Or Byron would probably start Young like the moron he is.

After how we played them the other night I actually think we'll beat the Spurs along with Brooklyn, Milwaukee, and Memphis.
15-46.

I think we beat the Nets & Nuggets, Bucks a toss up.
This game will be close too; we could pull it out in the end if we stay close early on. |

I posted in the trade/free agency discussion about Joe Johnson, you can look there and discuss if you may.

Who cares? It's still the best lineup to go with from a pure competitive and player development stand point.

The Pacers starting line up will be.
SG- Monta Ellis
PG- George Hill
C- Ian Mahinmi
SF- Paul George
PF- Myles Turner
Since Myles Turner has been starting and when Mahinmi has been healthy those are the starters.
Jordan Hill comes in for Mahinmi. Joe Young for George Hill, CJ Miles for Ellis and Lavoy Allen for Turner
then at the start of the 2nd quarter Glenn Robinson the 3rd comes in for Paul George, that is Vogel's normal subbing rotation |
