The Indiana Pacers’ up and down play has continued to plague this team. The fact that Paul George, this team’s saving grace, is a bit banged up doesn’t help either. Heck, just look at what happened when George missed a game with said injury – they lost to the Phoenix Suns by 20.

The Pacers will only go as far as George can take them, now on his bum ankle. The right move is to let George heal up, if that isn’t the case already. However, with a mediocre record, even in the Eastern Conference, isn’t a great sign for this team moving forward.
