Tonight you will not see the Indiana Pacers on TNT, however catch them on NBA TV. TNT will be showing the hopeless NY Nicks versus the New Jersey Nets. The NBA and network must have realized that the Pacers game would produce less revenue.

We have learned that the Indiana Pacers get no respect. Despite winning 61 regular season games, the Pacers get the task of playing the stepchild. Where is the love for Jermaine O'Neal who is playing against premier, Boston Celtics' player, Paul Pierce? Maybe the TNT will issue a memo saying "due to Ron Artest not playing, serving a one game suspension, the Pacers were considered, but lacked star power."

The Indianapolis Pacers will continue their march towards the covenant NBA Championship, regardless of what channel they are on. I do believe you will see those second choice Pacers in the NBA Finals. Tune into tonight's wonderful game, NY Nicks versus the New Jersey Nets.
