Passion. Pride. Pacers. An Association

[bleacherbum54]

That's because their college team is better than many NBA teams, including the Pacers.

You are on crack if you really believe that. Hell the Bobcats would beat last years UKs team. The NBA is a totally different level. UK may get paid better than most Bobcats though


good luck Fish win a ring for the hick from french lick

Jazz win behind Paul Milsap's 16

This season hasn't gone the way Frank Vogel wanted over the first month. "This game was the epitome of the month of November for us. We had our chances to reel them in, but our effort and offense wasn't enough." Pau Gasol said that the team was tired from a late flight last night "It always seems like we get stuck with back-to backs, it just isn't fair. No one feels sorry for us, we still have to go play." The Pacers head up to Portland for their next game.

Crawford's 20 fuels Portland to Victory

Jamal Crawford was a force on the floor tonight. He scored 20 points in 19 minutes as the Trail Blazers pulled away late to win 64-54 over the Pacers. Gasol "I need to get the ball in the post, too much of the offense revolves around Danny. I like Danny when he's hot, but over the last month, he's become a shot taker and not a shot maker." Granger scored 5 points on 2-8 shooting from the field vs. the Trail Blazers. The Pacers look to end the road trip on a high note in Lob City against Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers.

Balanced Effort Leads Pacers to Win in Lob City

Pacers star Pau Gasol called for more balance on offense after the Pacers fell to Portland last night. Tonight, balance is what led the Pacers to victory. Danny Granger led in scoring with 13 points, but was followed closely by Gasol and Nash with 12 and 11 points respectively. "I don't care about scoring the most points, I just wanna win." Pau said after the Pacers 73-62 win over the Clippers. It wasn't an easy ride for the Pacers tonight, the Clippers began the game on a 13-4 run, and Frank Vogel called a timeout with 4 minutes left in the quarter. The Pacers drew even at 19 to end the first quarter, and it was all Pacers after that points. AJ Price was brought off the bench and scored 10 points in 8 minutes. Star Danny Granger said that he was glad that Price could score, and that Price could have a team leading +/- of +17. "It really shows that from 1-15 on this roster, any one of us can lead the Pacers to victory on any given night." "Grab your popcorn Indiana, we're gonna provide a show Tuesday against Oklahoma City."

The Beast is Unleashed

Pau Gasol scores 24 as the Pacers earn their first winning streak of the season

Pau Gasol said the offense needed more balance after embarrassing losses in Utah and Portland. Tonight wasn't about balance for the Pacers, but Pau Gasol put the team on his back tonight, with 24 points, including 8-10 shooting from the free throw line. "It was a great win, anytime you can beat an elite team like the Thunder, I think it bodes well for our future. We beat Orlando, we beat Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit and now OKC. The East better watch out." George Hill, who only played six minutes combined in the last two games wasn't angry "Whatever it takes man, we believe in each other. From the starting five, to the bench warmers, we know that if we give 100% on the court when we're on it, we'll come out on top. We won't be outworked by another team." Jeff Foster, the longest tenured Pacer said, "I've never been in a locker room where we all believed in one another. It's truly amazing to see us beat the best night in and night out." Danny Granger said, "I'm glad we're winning, but we have business to take care of Saturday. We got beat by Cleveland the last time we played. We won't let that happen in front of our home fans. Hopefully Bankers Life Fieldhouse is packed, and the fans are ready for 3 wins in a row. The 7-13 Pacers are currently 6.5 games behind division leader Detroit, and 2 games behind 8 seed Chicago.

Paul George Seen Shooting Hoops at Local Gyms

Sources around the Indianapolis area have reported seeing Paul George shooting at local gyms in the area. Frank Vogel was please when hearing of this "Paul is a key player in our quest for a title, and we need his scoring. His defense is where it needs to be, but we need his offense."The sources reported George was shooting midrange jumpers, and nailed nearly every shot. One source was quoted "He looked like Kobe Bryant out there. Hopefully the Pacers can foster him and harness the scoring ability he showed in the gym.

Cleveland Shoots 26 Free Throws In Victory

Pacers coach Vogel and players were unavailable for comment after the Pacers 67-59 loss to the Cavaliers. Larry Bird said "I never got calls like that in the 80's. What a bunch of flops in Cleveland. Joakim Noah was right. Cleveland sucks."
