The Suns continue their six game roadie with game two in Indianapolis. The lowly Pacers have lost 10 straight and have the worst record in the NBA. They've also been decimated with injuries. The Suns need to take care of business early in this one and give the bench the bulk of the minutes as they'll be playing a back to back tomorrow night in Toronto. There's a good chance some Suns nursing injuries, I'm looking at you Allen, Goodwin, and Highsmith, might get the night off. Look for a who's who? of players from Indiana. Players such as Kam Jones, Kobe Brown, Micah Potter and Jarace Walker.

Q: Would you guys say that the Pacers are tanking? They obviously suck this season, but they're without Haliburton due to injury, and they lost Myles Turner in the offseason. Should they be this bad? I haven't been paying close attention; have they been resting guys and doing other tanky things?

They have good reason to tank. They keep their pick if it's top 4 (or something like that.)

I don't think they are sitting healthy players in an attempt to lose games they should win. They just aren't that great a roster, to be honest. They've also gone through a bunch of borderline NBA guys looking for the right pieces to put around Hali when he gets back. I think it's more of a single year rebuild.
