Q's Key Match-Up:
Elton Brand vs Jermaine O'Neal:
Clash of two of the top five power forwards in the league. Will truly be an exciting matchup to watch for as Jermaine and Brand matchup very equally. Winner of this matchup should determine who's team wins the game.
Q's Quote:
"Disgusting performance by the Clippers a night earlier at the New Jersey Nets. This may not be considered a "must win" in the minds of many fans, but Q's mind is very different then others. After losing to the Nets, in a game which Clippers just blew a game which they had, they need to win this just so they can have at least a .500 road trip(they play @ Charlotte next). A loss here may just be the biggest one thus far this year. A loss may just kill the Clippers confidence causing them to go on a huge losing streak"
Q's Keys To The Game:
1) Take JO out of the game early.
2) Hit Shots.
3) Bench Kaman if he's having a bad game.
Q's Prediction: Pacers win 99-89
Q's Prediction Record: 17-5-2
