Pacers: 2013-2014 Contenders or Pretenders?

**LkrFan** · 11-11-2013

8-0. Unexpected triple dub from my man Lance Stephenson: 13 pts, 12 asts, 11 rebs. Pacers are making their gym a house of horrors sporting a perfect 5-0 record. Their staple - defense and rebounding - did not disappoint as they held 8 to 79 points while outrebounding them 45-32 and locking them down to 41.3% shooting.

Their budding star, PG, efficiently dropped 23 pts and 7 rebs on 9/16 FGAs. Mt Hibbert chipped in with 5 swats - although his offense was offensively ty. Next victim: Milwaukee Bucks. Will they stay undefeated? Stay tuned.

Still contending...

this pacers team reminds me of the spurs last season
solid frontline and backups
solid perimeter and backups
the bench can easily replace 1 or 2 starting players if needed...

spurs once had that luxury 2 seasons, last year with jax wouldve made a difference in the finals....we went from a solid perimeter rotation of green kawhi and jax and ginoboli of the bench that will keep the bench defense honest, to not having jax and relying on scrubs to replace his defensive presence aka neal

i guess it all depends on grangers role when he comes back

is he going to take not only a backseat to PG, but also stephenson when his playing with the bench?

The writing is on the wall: it's PG's team now. I think he understands that. I'd like to see him back up PG if he can come back healthy. He should be good for about 15 mpg. They'll need Granger's experience to get past Miami just year. They got a legit shot tbh.

another winger who would accept his role as a defender out there

something the spurs fcked up when they got rid of jax, could give 2 s what he wanted from pop offensively a bigger role, but jax never in his career went hero mode that cost the game/series, another legit backup defender the spurs couldve used in the finals...

playing the heat u need a legit backup defender on the bench to come in and keep the heats lebron/wade honest if they are logging +40mpg

Pacers thrashed the spurs last night at at&t center

Blazers beat the Pacers the other night in Portland, the same place where our beloved boys in blue beat the Blazers last night. so Mavs > Blazers > Pacers > Spurs, imho.

23-5... Still contending. Now they're reincorporating D Granger into the mix. Scola, Granger, Mahinmi and CJ Watson should be a formidable bench as the season wears on. I approve.

n.... IIRC, PG, Blake, and CP3's contracts all expire at the same time, and George was a Clipperfan growing up

FIFY. His number is visual proof.

With teams such as the Los Angeles Clippers (his favorite team growing up), Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks all looking for a dynamic swingman who can create, shoot and defend, the chance of George being picked in the 8-15 range looks very good at the moment.

Indiana is a great team, but unfortunately for them, they play in the Lebron era, tbh..

"LeBron era," my ass. You had him beat. You had him beat and Media had already set up that poor Bosh to be the fall guy. You not only blew your 5th, but, you saved Bosh from being lynched. Even after it was over Media still chewed the bark off his ass for a few days out of complete shock. tee, hee.
