Indiana Pacers open season without Danny Granger

By

The Indiana Pacers were hoping to enter the 2012-13 NBA season with improved depth after shaking up their roster considerably during the summer. What depth they do have took a hit Tuesday and will be tested early and often. 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

Dwyane Wade, LeBron James too much for Indiana Pacers

The Pacers opened eyes … [Read more...] about Dwyane Wade, LeBron James too much for 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

Indiana Pacers didn’t play their game, let LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have their way

By

The Indiana Pacers attained a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference Semifinal series with the Miami Heat largely by playing their game. Feed the post (center Roy Hibbert, power forward David West) on offense; deny the post and the rim and play aggressive man defense. The Pacers fell 101-93 to the Heat in Game 4 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Sunday because they didn't play … [Read more...] about Indiana Pacers didn’t play their game, let LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have their way
