The good news is they didn't fold, which many people probably thought they would do, after falling behind by so many points. The boys in blue and gold fought back and got to within four points in the fourth quarter before eventually losing by nine. They'll have to chalk this is up as another learning lesson.

Ford out of the game in the first quarter. Literally. Evans so abused Ford that Pacers coach Jim O'Brien had no choice but to pull his point guard eight minutes in.

The Pacers should do that because they're not going to win a game on this four-game road trip. That's right, I said it. The Pacers will go 0-4 on the trip and head back to Indy with a 6-12 record. Their best two chances at getting a victory on the trip were against Golden State and Sacramento. They blew both of those op...

"They folded like a deck of cards," the person said. That's a nice way to put it. The Pacers should be embarrassed, ashamed, humiliated, disgraced at what happened against Golden State. The Pacers have issues that need to be resolved soon before the season completely spirals out of control. I'm sure most of you guys are ready to call for Jim...

Don Nelson is the real sub, here. The guy you take advantage of. The guy who doesn't mind the spitballs, just as long as there's a check at the end of the week. Keith Smart, who coaches the Golden State Warriors tonight with Nelson still on the shelf due to illness, is the real deal. He might be head coaching material, he might not be. D...

I'm glad to be a part of the Clipsnation family.  The Clippers come into Indiana finding out that the Pacers best weapon, Danny Granger, is out with a knee injury. This "should" make for an easy contest, but how many times have we heard that to find out otherwise... too many.
