Rose’s 39 Helps Bulls Rally Past Pacers 104-99, Take 1-0 Series Lead

As a long-time Indiana Pacers fan, I had rather low expectations for this team. By low expectations, I meant a trip to the playoffs and then an early exit. So far, the Pacers have held up at least one part of the bargain as they grabbed the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, fending [...]

Grizzlies Dominate In First Half, Claw Pacers 99-78

A statistic that has been key in the Memphis Grizzlies’ success this NBA season is that they’re #1 in the league in steals and forced turnovers. And as any true basketball fan knows, those miscues often lead to transitional baskets. The Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers met on Saturday night in a game that was equally important [...]

Granger Jumper Helps Pacers Edge Knicks 119-117

Usually when the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers get together for a game, it is usually not dull and more often than not, high-scoring. Both teams got together Tuesday night at Conseco Fieldhouse, as the Pacers are trying to hang on to the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference while the Knicks are looking [...]

Granger-less Pacers Spank Knicks At MSG 106-93

For those who are Tyler Hansbrough fans, then you know what long and winding road he had to take to get to the NBA. As it were, league pundits had projected him to be a late-1st round pick in the 2009 draft, presumably because they had doubts about whether he could transition his college game [...]

76ers Win Third Straight, Down Pacers 110-100

As of right now, it is rather difficult to pinpoint. What I am referring to is the Indiana Pacers under interim coach Frank Vogel. Early on, they had a nice little win streak going; but lately, they have been losing at the wrong time of the season, in light of the fact that they are [...]

Rockets’ Surge Continues, Rout Pacers 112-95

It was not that long ago when it was assumed that the Houston Rockets were for all intents and purposes dead in terms of the Western Conference playoff chase. Friday night would find the same Rockets hosting the Indiana Pacers at the Toyota Center, having won five of their last six games and putting themselves [...]

Thunder Squashes Pacers 113-89, Durant Injured

The Indiana Pacers certainly didn’t get off on the good foot as they started their mini-Midwest swing through Oklahoma and Texas, starting at Oklahoma City Arena. You just knew it wouldn’t be the Pacers night as they shot an anemic 34 percent from the floor and were dominated in all of the meaningful statistical categories. Long [...]

Pacers Rally In Third Quarter, Outlast Warriors 109-100

A true test of an quality NBA team is how they can handle opposition whose offense is akin to a NASCAR race. In other words, lots of run-and-gun with little regard for defense. Zoom in on Tuesday evening, when the Golden State Warriors visited Conseco Fieldhouse to take on the Indiana Pacers. Both teams have [...]
