Indiana Pacers – One Of The Strongest Teams For The Title This Season

By

Everyone expected the Indiana Pacers to emerge as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season. However, even the most optimistic fan of the team couldn't imagine such a magical start in the 2013-2014 campaign. 10 games into the season, the Pacers have only lost once, from the Chicago Bulls and they are still playing without their former best player, Danny … [Read more...] about Indiana Pacers – One Of The Strongest Teams For The Title This Season

Indiana Pacers’ Lance Stephenson must be “Born Ready”

By

Lance Stephenson went by the nickname "Born Ready" as one of the nation's top high-school basketball players and one of the most decorated New York prep products. Often times, during his one year at Cincinnati and his first two seasons with the Indiana Pacers, Stephenson made folks wonder if the "Born Ready" tag was purely hype and little substance amid instances of … [Read more...] about Indiana Pacers’ Lance Stephenson must be “Born Ready”

Paul George plays like an All-Star for Indiana Pacers against East elite

By

We've been hearing since Paul George's rookie season in 2010-11 that he could be the Indiana Pacers' No. 1 guy and even a NBA-wide star. It appears George is approaching -- or already has approached -- that status. With stellar performances in back-to-back wins against the East's first- and second-place teams, the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks (albeit without Carmelo … [Read more...] about Paul George plays like an All-Star for Indiana Pacers against East elite

Pacers forward Danny Granger has been dealing with pain in his left knee and will be out indefinitely, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. That … [Read more...] about Indiana Pacers open season without Danny Granger

What the offseason might have in store for the Indiana Pacers

By

With the highly anticipated NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder now under way, a thought randomly popped into my head: It wasn't very long ago that I was thinking the Pacers could conceivably be playing in this series. That, of course, was when the Pacers had taken a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals after trouncing the Heat 94-75 in … [Read more...] about What the offseason might have in store for the Indiana Pacers

Indiana Pacers all out of sorts in wild Game 5

By

Wow, where to start with Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal series between the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat? The lackluster play from the get-go for the Pacers? The three flagrant fouls called? The injuries to Danny Granger and David West? Team president Larry Bird calling out his players for going soft? The Heat pretty much controlled the entire game Tuesday … [Read more...] about Indiana Pacers all out of sorts in wild Game 5

Game 5 not a must-win for Indiana Pacers, but a win would be huge

By

With this NBA Eastern Conference Semifinal series tied at 2-2, several local news outlets who cover the Indiana Pacers say tonight's Game 5 in Miami is a must-win for the team if it is to win the series and advance to the conference finals. I don't quite see it that way myself. I believe the Pacers are far more capable of winning a Game 7 in AmericanAirlines Arena than most … [Read more...] about Game 5 not a must-win for Indiana Pacers, but a win would be huge

Miami Heat panicking? Cancel practice, media session, Wade vs. Spoelstra (video)

By

Last night the Indiana Pacers treated the Miami Heat like Wall Street/the U.S. Government treats anyone who opposes Goldman Sachs- total obliteration. Indiana put on the whooping stick as the Heat trailed by as many as 21. Today, the fallout continues, as the Heat cancelled their media session and practice. It's circling the wagons time, as the presumptive favorite to win … [Read more...] about Miami Heat panicking? Cancel practice, media session, Wade vs. Spoelstra (video)
