Seems our playoffs hopes are dashed with this completely. He left shootaround 15 minutes in...

Jack is going to play.

Yep



Charlotte Bobcats leading scorer Stephen Jackson told coach Paul Silas he'll play tonight against the Indiana Pacers, despite Jackson sitting out most of shootaround with a strained hamstring.

Silas said he'll start Jackson, but is still leery of how well Jackson will be able to get back on defense. He sat out Saturday's loss in San Antonio and didn't practice Monday and Tuesday.

Rather than ask Jackson to guard Pacers leading scorer Danny Granger in this condition, Silas said he'd initially have Gerald Henderson guard Granger, then likely turn to Dominic McGuire.

Silas said his players know the stakes tonight, with such a small margin of error to pass the Pacers for the eighth playoff spot in the East.

"Like unbelievable,'' Silas said of emphasizing that to the players. "They understand it.''

Screw Jack, I just hope Oak's back is getting better. Hard to picture Oak being taken out in a wheelchair...:(
