In my mind there are three games this decade which clearly stood out above all the others. After those three, however, the comparable contenders are bountiful. There is a legit case for the higher seed in each of the matchups not involving the top three, and perhaps the biggest example of this is the 6/11 matchup we tackle today. 6. REECE GAINES BREAKS HEARTS AT MARQUETTE (2/15/03) Coming off of a...

BOX SCORE How much can you really take away from a game like this? I could talk about how good Oden looked when Al Jefferson wasn’t sneaking around him for buckets. But it’s the Timberwolves. I could talk about how that two point-guard lineup was pretty nifty again. But it’s the Timberwolves. Portland is working towards becoming a very good team, Minnesota is a mess. That pretty...

THE `HOUSE - It didn't take long for me to get an "Earl Watson needs to be the starter" comment. It took two quarters for somebody to contact me. Calm down, it's only one game. What Watson's 16-point, six-rebound performance showed was that Pacers coach Jim O'Brien has a reliable backup (minus the controversy) he can turn to. Watson did a good job running the point against the Warriors....

THE `BURBS - All-Star Danny Granger has missed the past two days of practice with a bone bruise in his heel. There's no need to panic about the bruise, according to Granger. He said the injury isn't serious and he expects to be in the lineup in the season opener against Atlanta on Wednesday. Jeff Foster is in Boston getting treatment from physical therapist Dan Dyrek for his ailing back. Coach Jim...

THE 'BURBS - A Pacers spokesman said team president Larry Bird isn't commenting on the report in Sunday's New York Post surrounding his future. The spokesman said Bird isn't commenting because he already addressed his future prior to training camp. Bird said in an interview last month that he plans to remain with the organization until things at least get turned around. Like owner Herb Simon, coach...

Travis Diener checked in again to give you guys an update on the team's trip to Taiwan and China. The first game went extremely well. We played hard and aggressive throughout the whole game. Coach (Jim) O'Brien was pleased with our effort. Roy (Hibbert) probably played his best game as an NBA player. The big fella had 20 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks. He really controlled the paint. The thing...

Pacers point guard Travis Diener was nice enough to check in from Taiwan to give everybody an update on how the trip is going. I'll have a bowl of fruit loops and a glass of orange juice as I watch the Pacers take on the Denver Nuggets bright and early Thursday morning. Talk about a long, long, long flight. It took us 17 hours to get here. We had to stop in Alaska to change crew and fill the plane...

THE `BURBS - "Did Dunleavy suffer a setback?" That was one of the first questions I was asked after the Pacers signed Luther Head. The answer: No. Dunleavy is still doing well in his rehabilitation from knee surgery earlier this year. So there's no need to start panicking about Mikey D. Larry Bird has had his eye on Head for a couple of years. He mentioned Head's name to me earlier this...
