Indiana Pacers

After successfully returning from a broken leg—Pacers’ Paul George has looked quite comfortable for the past three games with averages of 11.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Needless to say, his return has been a source of inspiration for the team, contributing to the team’s recent success as they strive to keep their playoff [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

The Indiana Pacers appeared like a franchise well on its way to locking up a postseason berth after ripping off 13 wins in 15 contests. Behind point guard George Hill, the defending Eastern Conference regular season champions climbing to the No. 6 seed while the Milwaukee Bucks continued to falter appeared to be a realistic [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Fuhgettabout March Madness. The NBA playoffs are almost here. Sure, you could watch college kids, some of them highly touted Association prospects, soak up late-winter, early spring spotlight as they sap 30 seconds off the 35-second shot clock trying to score, only to usually not score, en route to securing or losing a national championship [...]

Looking to identity and subsequently acquire what’s missing in your life? You’ve come to the right place. NBA power rankings are here. Before we begin, there is one housekeeping note: What follows is not the direct result of records alone. There will be lottery teams ranked higher than playoff teams and everything in between. Power [...]

Thou shall fear no evil, because the NBA power rankings are here to save the day. It’s been forever since we last saw each other. Like, a whole week or something. A lot has happened since then. The Warriors are clearly tanking, trying to avoid a first-round dance with the Thunder; the Nuggets fired Brian [...]

A 25-34 record shouldn’t be good enough for eighth place in the playoff picture, but the Indiana Pacers surely don’t care that the collectively mediocre Eastern Conference means they hold that position. And it’s not their responsibility to make excuses for it, either. Sunday night, the Pacers knocked off the Philadelphia 76ers 94-74, using a [...]

Goodbye, All-Star discussion and NBA trade deadline. Hello, playoff race. It’s that time of year again. The focus is on the playoffs and various position-jockeying that’s going on. This week we have a lot of movement to cover, from the Blazers’ slump, to the Spurs’ mounting cankers, to the Thunder’s improbable surge, to the Sixers [...]
