PRESEASON GAME



PACERS vs. MAVERICKS

Indianas preseason game tonight vs. the Dallas Mavericks will be the first hard test for new season. After the long off-season periode the team is very excited of the first regular game."The new team has a huge talent and it is filled well on all positions. We are going to make it into the finals!"says Indianas new GM Milian Eigner. Indiana has simply the same team like the year before. Except, that the closed Ron Artest came back to the team. New players are: -european point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius who came straight from Maccabi Tel-Aviv." Sarunas will give Jamal good recovery. He had shown in the European Championship that he can lead a game. He has an excellent 3-point shooter so he will also make some points. The fans know him from the Olympics Games 2000 and 2004 where he avereged 23.4 pts against the USA", says Milian Eigner.
Also new is Danny Granger. He will play Power Foward or Small Forward and he will get some minutes. His succes at college is really impressive. He was ranked second in the Mountain West Conference in scoring (18.8 ppg), third in rebounding (8.9 rpg), second in steals (2.1 spg), second in blocks (2.0 bpg) and third in three-point field goal percentage (.433) as a senior at New Mexico. "He's a very talented player with good hoops and moves and an excellent touch for a big man like him", says Indiana All-Star Jermaine O'Neal. But tonight we will see how good the new team is really. "The Mavericks will be the first hard test this year. They have an excellent team which is building on Dirk Nowitzki. We must play good defense to win the game. But tonight, we will be smarter", told Coach Rick Carlisle.

Matchups
Jeff Foster vs. Erick Dampier
Won't be a key matchup but when Erick Dampier take lots of rebounds it can be difficult for Indiana to control the post


Jermaine O'Neal vs. Dirk Nowitzki
The Key-Matchup tonight. Both are great offensive players maybe Nowitzki is a little better. He had shown this summer in the European Championship that he is the best European in the World and perhabs one of the five best player in the World. He had improved his defensive skills very much. When he's going to hit the shoots, Dallas win that matchup.


Ron Artest vs. Josh Howard
Advantage Indiana. Artest is an All-Star and the best defender of the league. Howard must play good defense because Artest had worked hard at his offense this offseason. Both are power players who can also shoot the ball from downtown. Normally, Artest win the matchup.


Stephen Jackson vs. Doug Christie
Jackson is the better offensive player, Christie the better defensive. But Christie can also score high cause of his good 3point shooter. Jackson must so defend Christe hard but he might not forgot to make some points. Balanced matchup.


Jamal Tinsley vs. Jason Terry
Tinsley and Terry can both score high. Terry has maybe the bigger offensive talent than Tinsley. But Tinley is the better passer.Important is the defender Normally Terry is a better defender than Tinsley but when he hasn't joy of playing preseason games it will be a balanced matchup.

[German Wings]

Good selection to play first the first game against the Mavs because they are a very good challenge for a team that claims to play hard (or even the best) defense. The Mavs got huge weapons on the offensive end:
Dirk Nowitzki is one of the best scorers (and player in the whole world)
Terry can put 20 point on nearly anyone in the league and stackhouse(I trhink he should start instead of doug) is also someone who creates missmatches!!

Godd luck!

[TbbTrier]

Unfortunately I didn't have found the time for the preseason game, because tonight, my home team in Trier had played in the league. But I will do it tomorrow.

Ps: i've found a way to enlarge my roster pic

[D-Lehm]

Very cool, guys from Trier. I'm from Trier too
When I play B-Ball-Managers in the I-Net, I choose TBB Trier as my team name. Nice similarity to your nick. We should talk German.

Viel Glück bei deiner Dynastie. Hast Dir ein gutes Team ausgesucht.

[TbbTrier]

check out the recap

[TbbTrier]

Great Preseason win over Dallas

Indiana 87
Dallas 68



In the first preseason game of the year, Indiana showed a great defensive effort and win in a lowscoring game 87-68 over the Dallas Mavericks."I'm happy about the game. We played very good defense and Jermaine took Dirk Nowitzki completely out of the game. But the team showed too, that we are a team with great offensive skills. Jamal has lead the game very well and gave nice 8 assists. Also some props to the bench. They gave us new energy when they came in the game and did also their thing well. All in all, we can look with confidence in the season", says Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle."I'm very dissapointed. We had a terrible day. That is all I would tell!", says an angrily Avery Johnson.

RECAP

In the 1.quarter, the game was very balance with some advantages for Dallas. Indiana hadn't such a good shoot percentage as in the complete game and Dallas won in rebounds 8-7.



In the 2.quarter the game changed completely. Indiana played sensational defense and hit also the big shots in offense. They controled the boards and the assist category. The Mavs hit nothing and so, Indiana went with a 41-29 in the half-time.


Key Players




3.quarter went out 20-20. Dallas controled the boards with 10-4 rebounds but they couldn't use that advantage because of 3steals from Indiana.



4.quarter was very one-sided. Indiana won that quarter 26-19 and got also 9 rebounds more than Dallas

2.Preseason Game

Tonight, the Indiana Pacers will play their second preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After the strong 87-68 win over Dallas, Indiana is the favourit for the game tonight."When we can repeat the effert from last game, we will win that game. But we must be carefully because Cleveland is a strong team which can win the Eastern-Conference. They have maybe the best player in the NBA, LeBron James, and also great players on all positions. Specially Larry Hughes (new from Washington wher he avareged 22 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.63 steals), one of the best defender, is a great player. They have one of the best centers in the league with Ilgauskas and their point guard, Damon Jones who came from Miami, which can make easily more than 20points with his excellent 3-point shoot" ,said Pacers GM Milian Eigner.
