Houston Rockets – Falling Apart For No Reason
Playoff-bound teams should look better than this, but at this pace, the Houston Rockets won’t be a playoff team for much longer. Jeremy Lin has never been the real reason for winning or losing, so it’s not his ability that really matters. Teams figuring out James Harden is a much more serious problem.

Indiana Pacers – The Best Defense in the NBA
While Paul George continues to show he can be a consistent and reliable scorer this season, the Indian Pacers defense is doing most of the work for one of the hottest teams in the NBA.

Indiana Pacers – When Paul George is Better Than LeBron James
It took him about a month, but Paul George is finally playing like the player the Indiana Pacers need him to be. So good, he even gets to outplay LeBron James when the two faced off.

Gerald Green – Another Best Dunk of the Season
It’s been mostly a successful second tenure for Gerald Green in the NBA after a couple of seasons in Europe and Chine, first with the Nets and now with the Indiana Pacers. Although his personal numbers haven’t been too impressive this season, his dunking, and especially his incredible dunk against the Utah Jazz, have been impressive as ever.

Indiana Pacers – Winning Through George Hill & Ugly Basketball
There’s very few pretty things about the Indiana Pacers this season. Still, after a rough start, which included losing six of their first nine games, they are finding ways to win and put the season back on track. How? Great defense, possibly the best in the NBA right now, and someone like George Hill hitting a huge buzzer beating layup for a rare road win.

Indiana Pacers – Paul George Isn’t Danny Granger Just Yet
I remember reading a few posts last season around the web about how the Indiana Pacers will benefit from trading Danny Granger, already on the decline according to them, and letting Paul George take over his roles, being the bigger potential and the future of the team. Now Danny Granger is out for three months, and it’s really up to George to try and make up for all the lost points and more.

Paul Geroge With the Greatest Dunk of All Time?
It wasn’t in an NBA game, just some exhibithion performance in Shanghai. Still, Paul Geroge of the Indiana Pacers, known for his athletic ability and dunks, pulled off a reverse 360 between the legs windmill dunk, someone no one has ever managed to do.

NBA Teams Under the Most Pressure in 2012-2013
Coaching hot seats and pressure from ownership or the media doesn’t always involve winning an NBA title, although it probably does for the Los Angeles Lakers after their high profile additions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard or the Boston Celtics, with 2012-2013 being the last chance to get something meaningful out of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.

Dwyane Wade Brings His Best to Cap Off Comeback Trilogy
What a difference a week makes. Dwyane Wade scored only 5 points in Miami’s first game in Indiana, en route to a 75-94 defeat. Chris Bosh out; LeBron James without any help. The Pacers actually looked like the better team and sudden favorites to win the series.

Nothing Wrong With Some Dirtiness in the NBA Playoffs
It’s hard to speak in favor of violence without coming out as a complete villain or douche, but it’s hard to argue about the fact that people love seeing athletes go at each other. Udonis Haslem hit Tyler Hansbrough instead of blocking him for what the Pacers Forward did to Dwyane Wade earlier on. Retaliation, in the right kind of limits, isn’t something to be frowned upon.
