Game 45 Raptors @ Pacers

The Raptors are putting a nice little run together here at the end of January winning their last 2 games. Today they will visit the Indiana Pacers who at 16-30 are a shell of their once mighty selves.

• C.J. Miles won't be playing for the Pacers tonight. He's missing the game due a groin strain. Not a tear like DeMar DeRozan had, but still a painful injury and i'm sure the Pacers are looking to be cautious.
• Speaking of DeRozan he returned to his true form in Sunday's game against The Pistons scoring 25 points in the contest.
• The Indiana Pacers are still a difficult team. Though the Raptors lead the East in paint points (45.3 per), they'll have to aim for double that going against the gigantic Roy Hibbert.

Song Of The Day

"Going Back To Indiana" - Jackson 5

Yes it's true the King Of Pop Michael Jackson had his humble beginnings in Gary, Indiana back in 1964 when he and 4 of his brother's became The Jackson 5. Sure Michael was the star, but Tito has his time to shine in this one with a scathing Bass solo. Forget all the Jackson Family whackiness and enjoy the song for what it is. A catchy, classic that harkens back to a simpler time.

East beasts!!!
