Pacers beat the Grizz easily tonight.

PG24 was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

Indiana matched the best winning streak to start a season since the Lakers and Hornets were both 8-0 in 2010.

We don't play again until Friday.

Pacers are also #1 in every power ranking.
Some notes taken from the various power rankings

quote:
Starting five is outscoring opponents by +28 per 48 minutes.

quote:
Roy Hibbert already is claiming defensive player of the year. Four-plus blocks a game is a good start.

quote:
Something tells me all the winning (and suffocating defending) they're doing without Danny Granger is only going to make it easier to force him to accept a role when it's time. Guess we could launch into a "peaking too soon" debate if you want to try to manufacture something to worry about here.

Pacers got beat by da bulls.

PG24 was 3-for-14 with 12 points in 33 minutes.

“It’s not about a streak. We have to approach every game the same way. It’s our 1st loss of the year. It will just keep us working harder. We have learned from the streak. Many games we had to battle back or try and hold the league. Those are things we will take from the streak.” – Paul George

Next up... The Knicks this Wednesday on ESPN

Pacers started off slow. Pacers scored 31 in the 4th to force OT.

With the Spurs loss yesterday, I suspect Pacers to take over #1 in the power rankings.

As a Pistons fan...

However, I do enjoy watching Indiana and they are primed for a run at the title. Should be fun for you to watch unfold.

I missed the game, but heard that Indy went off in the 3Q

Hope these two meet in the Finals for all the marbles.

Go Spurs Go.

Wow. What a game last night.
Beat the Heat in their first meeting of the season.
PG24 had the jitters and started off slow. He came alive when James got his 3rd foul with about 9 min. in the 3rd quarter. Hibbert was a beast with 24 points.
Pacers are 10-0 at home with 5 sellouts.

Bobcats this Friday
