Indiana Pacers
Paul George…For Now
The Indiana Pacers, if nothing else, should be thankful for Paul George. For now. Even though he’s under contract for the next couple of years, he has to feel some sort of frustration. The Pacers have been taking steps back, instead of forward, over the last couple of seasons.
After nearly pulling off one of the biggest upsets in NBA history in last year’s playoffs, many thought the Pacers would be in the running for a top 3 or 4 seed in the Eastern Conference. However, the opposite has happened this season. Instead of getting off to a hot start this season, the Pacers are limping out of the gate, at 7-8. Still, as long as Paul George is on the team, they have a shot.
