Strangest looking box score I've ever seen. So many DNP's. Orlando got the win, but I'm really shocked at how close the game was.

2 points from the bench. Man .. all four starters with 40+ minutes .. just awful.

Artest really helped his team out by jumping into the stands. :x

Those minutes are gonna take their toll very quickly.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

damn... time to raid the NBDL

Why be hating on John Edwards with only 15 minutes.

Heh. I didn't even know who John Edwards was before this game.

I would have bet a million dollars on Indy plus the points. The Pacers are like every team that is undermaned in the first game after having key injuries and/or suspensions. They will play on emotion and play well that first game, and the opponent will mentally let down...this always happens. I learned years ago never to bet against a wounded team that first game, as they always cover the spread and a lot of times win outright. Now, that being said, they will not have the same effort from now on, as they will start to get down and now others will be more wary of them now that they see what happened to Orlando.

the big three should be well rested for the playoffs

that is what the only good think you can say if you are a pacer fan and pacers make playoffs
