We’ve let this go on long enough; this Paul George wreckin’ crew situation. He’s killing it lately, and if he’s on your fantasy team, he’s killing it for you lately. And if he’s not on your team, you might not have noticed how he killed you lately. Last night he ended with 14/5/2, with 3 steals and a pair of treys. Not a flashy line, but it’s sneaky solid. Just like the Pacers. Everyone on this roster plays 30 minutes. Top scorers rotate from night to night like a high school volleyball roster. But when all is said and done, George has averaged 18.2 pts/ 5.8 rbd/ 3 ast/ 3.4 stl/ 3.2 3ptm in his last five. That’s top 20-production, kids. The scary thing is that he’s doing this amidst Granger doing Granger things, West’s migration to the East and Hibbert on the cusp of all-stardom. In just 12 short months, this went from Granger’s team to possibly David West‘s team to maybe Hibbert’s team to about-to-be Geor...

Granger’s Fourth-Quarter Pushes Pacers Past Jazz, 104-99

Forget the Orlando loss; let's talk George Hill's return

Yes, the Pacers lost to the Orlando Magic at home. Again. But let's not let that get us down. Despite all their turmoil and travel difficulties due to the Superbowl, the Magic gutted out the ugly win against the tired legs of the Pacers offense, undoing a lot of the good work they had been exhibiting on the road as of late. The Pacers did everything they could to lose that...

Now That The Super Bowl Is Gone, Can Pacers Matter?

Last Tuesday, a buddy and I decide last second to go to the Indiana Pacers game. It’s Super Bowl Week and it’s an excuse to go downtown for some SBXLVI ambiance. Plus, the tickets are $2 on StubHub, which is pretty much the norm for Pacers games these days. Midway through the first quarter, a tall, black man emerges from the concourse into our upper deck section and begins...

Hayward Heads Home to Play Pacers

Last season, when Utah Jazz rookie guard (and former Butler Bulldog) Gordan Hayward traveled to Indiana to play the Pacers for the first time, there were more fans there to see him than the home team. That night, Conseco Fieldhouse was overrun with Butler shirts and homemade Hayward Jazz jerseys. The rookie didn’t play many minutes in the game, but his mere presence back...

Indiana’s Three-Game Win Streak Snapped at Atlanta

On this night, the result would be much different...

Granger has 12 in 4th as Pacers top Jazz (AP)

Danny Granger sat at his locker, worn out and tired. He was dragging all day after taking medicine to help him get some rest, but it may have been too much for the Indiana Pacers forward. "It just slowed me down basically the whole time," Granger said. "It was supposed to help me sleep, but it kept me groggy the whole day.

Kyrie Irving needs his sidekick in order for Cavs to compete - Comment of the Day

"Irving needs his David West to get the Cavs to be a playoff contender. But hopefully the Cavs can give Irving more than just one other player who can play. Then they can be a championship contender instead of a playoff contender." - benny1699
