Game 64: Blazers vs. Pacers

Blazers Analysis Pacers
PG
Behind all of the Nicolas Batum hype of late, Andre Miller has been quite good himself. His only lackluster game was the blowout in Minnesota . In the other four games of the road trip he averaged 16 points and eight assists.
TJ Ford is still trying to get back into game form and may still need some adjusting while Earl Watson is mostly just a fill-in. With Bayless backing up Miller, I like our point guards to win this match-up.
PG
SG
Brandon Roy has been steadily regaining his BRoy game during the recent road trip and tonight it should get even better. I picture Brandon being a big part of the offense as our bigs try to defend Indiana's front line.
Brandon Rush has had his moments in his sophomore season, but nothing too special. He and Dahntay Jones will have a the task of chasing down Rudy and trying to stop Roy. I think Rudy continues his solid play and we win the match-up.

A truly difficult task for Nicolas Batum will be trying to contain Danny Granger. Granger is a stud, one of my favorite non-Blazer players in the league. He's battled injuries this year but appears to be back for the most part.
Nic has been tremendous on offense as well, and he'll be tested all around tonight against a team with two quality small forwards. Nic and Martell will have their hands full, and they won't be able to contain.

LaMarcus disappeared again on Monday in Memphis as far as the stats go. He did however make things somewhat difficult for Z-bo, but 13 and 2 is pretty brutal from our PF.
LA will have to deal with another strong rebounding power forward in Troy Murphy. Murphy is having a solid year and can be a threat from deep. LA will have to do work to hang with Murphy.

Having Marcus Camby is so nice when an opponent has a huge center who isn't  necessarily overly skilled. Don't get me wrong, Hibbert has been solid, but Marcus will make him work hard and prevent him from doing much at all offensively.
The combination of Camby and Juwan Howard should be enough to keep Hibbert in check, the question is, can they help enough in rebounding to counter the efforts of Granger, Dunleavy and Murphy? We shall see, but they win this match-up.
