They know their "role" as you say and they take great pride in performing it. Beverly for example...yeah even when the big guys come out they don't have a let down. Make no mistake, Leonard and George are the headliners, but Beverly is as much of a leader as either of them on that team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, the team is deep on really good defenders and Lou Williams can flat out score. PG had a poor offensive game but the depth is such that either PG or Kawhi can have off nights and they have other guys fully capable of stepping up. And they’re just now getting healthy and playing together. Should only get better, and Kawhi in the playoffs - best player now in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Williams almost reminds me of the role Ron Harper played in the 2nd Bulls three-peat. Is he at the same level of the big duo? Of course not. But he's multi-talented and can (and has on lesser teams) fill it up if his number is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention I hate the Lakers? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 The Pacers have the 2nd best record in the NBA vs teams with a .500 record or better. That's obviously been without Victor. Not bad at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Commissioner Stern He had a number of controversial moves and policies, but absolutely. He was largely responsible for changing of the face of the NBA, from things as simple as a dress code for players, to the drug policies, to internationalizing the game. Huge impact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I did not realize that the Pacers had the most home wins in the Eastern conference the past 10 years Also made the playoffs in 20 of past 30years.
