Stephen Rhodes 
Posted in Poor Gilbert Arenas. He has arguably his best game of the season yet somehow managed to choke at the free throw line late in the fourth quarter during the Indiana Pacers-Washington Wizardsgame that took place Saturday night at Verizon Center. The point guard had a chance to seal the win for the Wizards with 6.6 seconds left [...]

Pacers Snap Six-Game Losing Streak, Crush Nets 107-91
With Danny Granger gone for a period of time because of a torn right plantar fascia, the Indiana Pacers are losing about 25 or so PPG. Which means that they have to get their offense from other sources. During Friday night’s game against the New Jersey Nets, they had to rely on a shared [...]
Boozer’s 35 Powers Jazz Over Pacers 96-87
It is nice to know that the Utah Jazz have some offensive options, although you wouldn’t know it by the different number of players that contribute, day-in and day-out. Yet against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, the Jazz’ hero would be Carlos Boozer as he would drain 35 points, leading Utah to the 96-87 [...]
Murphy’s Double-Double Helps Pacers Sink Clippers 86-73
Usually, when two teams are involved in a low scoring game, it is usually because of one of two things: shutdown defense or neither team could hit the broad side of a barn. During Wednesday night’s game between the Los Angeles Clippers at Conseco Fieldhouse, the latter applied as neither team shot 40% (Los Angeles [...]
Pacers Rebound From Big Deficit, Beat Bucks 115-108
The Indiana Pacers, despite not going to the playoffs this season, could have chosen to do what a lot of teams in their position do – pack it in. In their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, they perhaps showed what they were made of as a team as they somehow managed to overcome [...]
Hawks Solidify Playoff Seeding, Beat Pacers 122-118
I think it is safe to say that the Atlanta Hawks are for real. They have a relatively good mix of youth and veterans; the three years or so it has taken for the Hawks to gel into a playoff-contending team are finally beginning to bear fruit. In Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers at [...]
Pacers Shoot 55%, Blast Raptors 130-101
Although the Indiana Pacers more than likely will not make the playoffs, you cannot accuse them of playing out the string. In Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors at Conseco Fieldhouse, they played like a team that was actually in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt; they shot 54.9% from the floor as they easily disposed [...]
Spurs Shoot 55%, Hold Off Pacers 126-121
Typically when you think of the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers locking up, high-scoring games don’t exactly come to mind. Yet a funny thing happened on the way to Conseco Fieldhouse on Friday. Both teams shot fairly well (Indiana shot 51.6% while San Antonio shot a sizzling 54.9%), which tells you that defense was [...]
