Pacers Win Big At Detroit

To follow up their disappointing exit in the playoffs last season, the Pacers opened the 2011-12 season with a win over the Detroit Pistons 59-49. Danny Granger led all scorers with 18 points, including 2-3 from beyond the 3 pt. line. David West struggled in his first game as a Pacer, scoring only 4 on 1 of 3 from the floor. "It's tough to only get 3 touches, but I'm here to win, not get the most touches, whatever it takes to win, I'll do it." The Pacers bench scored 21 points led by Tyler Hansbrough's 9. The Pacers have a much tougher challenge on Friday night in Oklahoma City against the Thunder, and their 1-2 punch of Durant and Westbrook

Pacers?

I'd take a team like the Timberwolves.

Durant, OKC too Much for West, Pacers

Kevin Durant's 21 points were too much for the Pacers Friday night as the Pacers fell to 1-1 after a 55-49 defeat. David West matched Durant with 22 points, but it wasn't enough. Coach Frank Vogel was pleased that the team didn't give up. "It's easy to pack it in," Vogel said "after the Thunder started the 2nd half on a 7-0 run, our guys were more motivated than ever." "Even though its not a W in the standings, I feel that we gave our fans and the viewers on ESPN a great game." Danny Granger has been through the ups and downs with the Pacers and said "There's something about this team. I hope we can do something that no Pacer team has done since the 70's." "We got a big game tomorrow against Boston, we need our fans to be big." The 1-1 Pacers will head back to Indianpolis for a meeting with a playoff contender in the 1-1 Boston Celtics. Guard Rajon Rondo has been linked with the Pacers via trade rumors. Both the Celtics and Pacers deny that Rondo was discussed.

Celtics Leave Pacers Searching for Answers

With so much hope and optimism after beating the Pistons, the Pacers lost both games of their first back-to-back of the season, getting blown out 80-65. "We lost control. That's what most of the problem was. Rondo and the Celtics will make you pay, and they did just that tonight," Frank Vogel said. Danny Granger put 33 up tonight on the scoreboard, but it just wasn't enough to round the Pacers into victory. Rising star Paul George said "The offense is lacking balance. Granger and West are getting all of the touches. It's hard to win when opponents are keying on two players. Me and Darren can ball. Roy [Hibbert] can too. I can bear not scoring when the team is winning, but we haven't been winning. It's time for coach to look at balancing the offense." Coach Vogel's response "We give Paul opportunities in the offense to get his, he chooses to pass to Danny or David. It's on the players to turn this around. The practices we'll have the next few days will focus on rebounding and defense. Looking at the Bulls, they are very successful with defense and rebounding being the base of their offense." The Pacers host the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, and look to get back to 500 on the season.

Granger Named Eastern Conference Player of the Week

Danny Granger has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the week. He's currently 2nd in the NBA with a 21.7 average points per game. Granger said that he appreciates the league noticing what he does, but its hollow because of the Pacers' struggles over the past two nights. "I'd trade all these individual awards I earned in high school, at Bradley, and New Mexico for one NBA Finals Title in Indiana."

Rockets Leave Pacers in the Dust

Vogel and Pacers looking for solutions to big problems

Silence. That was the only sound from the Pacers locker room after getting destroyed again at home, 75-48 by the Houston Rockets. "This is fucking embarrassing." Vogel said. "I don't know what to do, I only have so much. Too many whiny players. Just play and let me coach, OK?" Jeff Foster, a man of few words and minutes in the rotation said it best, "These guys just don't have fun off and on the court. We have to find a source of fun. If we don't, heads will roll." General Manager Larry Bird said "I'm behind our players and staff 100% right now. This is the same team that pushed the Bulls to 5 last year. I'm not ready to revamp the roster." When asked about what position needs the most help, Bird said, "We've been looking at upgrading the PG spot for awhile now."
