Jermaine O’Neal comes back from suspension; Pacers go on four-game win streak. Coincidence? Let’s look at some more numbers. How about the FREAKIN’ 55 POINTS he dropped on Milwaukee on Tuesday night? Hmm, 55 of his team’s 116 points–let’s see … yes, that’s roughly HALF THE FREAKIN’ OFFENSE. In Indiana’s last three wins, Jermaine has accounted for 38 percent of the points. Coincidence? Is it going to be a coincidence when the Pacers win the East and then the championship? I think not, folks. I think not. Of course, that’s for us Hoosiers to know and the rest of you to find out.
My line of the night: So many to choose from. Today I’ll go with Kevin Garnett (47 points, 17 boards) and Amare Stoudemire
(34 points Tuesday; 84 points in his last two games).
Off the bandwagon: Chucky Atkins (zero points in 26 minutes). It’s OK, he’s a point guard. He’s supposed to distribute the ball. Wait, he had one assist? Forget what I said.
