For now, it looks like Jermaine O'Neal will not be in the Pacers starting lineup, as they have Granger, Murphy, Foster, Dunleavy and Tinsley listed on the preliminary board, but that doesn't mean O'Neal won't sneak into the game...

Some other thoughts from the shoot-around and introductions-

1.) The Rose Garden has a nice crowd, especially for a Wednesday, but no one is more excited to be here than a couple guys around section 204. They've already started heckling Mike Dunleavy and I'm expecting some big things from that area as the game gets underway.

2.) Taureen Green can dunk, I'm pretty sure. At bare minimum, he can grab the rim with both hands from a standstill jump.

3.) When Josh McRoberts picks off his first open-court pass and heads down for the 1-on-0 fast break, get your cameras ready. He makes a 360 windmill dunk look like a lay-up.

4.) The tallest player on the floor, at least to start, for the Pacers is 6'11" Jeff Foster and he may have the ugliest sideburns in the NBA. Aldridge should have a field day against this front line...
