By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – Only cramps can slow Paul George these days. Hydration might be the last hurdle for the blossoming third-year guard. George scored 17 of his 28 points in the second half of a 95-85 win Friday night over the Philadelphia 76ers. Roy Hibbert had 19 points and a season-high […]

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent Already playing without star center Andrew Bynum, Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said he decided to err on the side of caution and sit his star point guard. Jrue Holiday, averaging 18.4 points and 8.9 assists, is sidelined with a sprained foot for – at least– tonight’s game at Bankers Life […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent Touted by the Pacers as much more than a quality backup, D.J. Augustin hasn’t even been that. He’s been a major negative, and it’s easy to see why he’s relegated to Frank Vogel’s doghouse. He can’t make any shots, his turnover rate is high, and his defense is a joke. […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – The oldest player on the court swung the game like he used to in his heyday, showing his greener teammates how to complete a road victory in the process. Thirty-six-year-old Andre Miller scored eight points and added an assist in a 10-0 run in the final 3 minutes, […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – The ball rested on the edge of Paul George’s fingertips, nearly released at the height of his shooting motion, when at the last second he saw George Hill cut to the basket. Two points for Hill. Easy. And yet another sign of George’s recent resurgence. George had 22 […]

By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I’ve seen a lot in my eight years of covering the Indiana Pacers, but nothing like what I witnessed on Wednesday night. Paul George dropped nine 3-pointers after halftime to help the Pacers beat the New Orleans Hornets 115-107 in overtime. He broke Reggie Miller’s team record for threes in a […]
By JIM JOHNSON ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS — Every team goes through it at one point or another, especially in basketball. They go through a rut and a little skid from time to time. With the Indiana Pacers, the skid happened to be right out of the gate and has lasted the first two weeks of […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – The Pacers’ locker room was not the most uplifting place to be late Tuesday evening. Roy Hibbert sat slouched with his head down in the corner, as reporters scurried to find more productive players to speak with. Hibbert had played just 8 minutes in the second half of […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS – In need of an 11-point comeback, the Indiana Pacers clamped down like few teams in NBA history. The Toronto Raptors, less than 24 hours removed from a triple-overtime defeat, made one basket and scored five points in the fourth quarter. The Pacers still couldn’t win. DeMar DeRozan had […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent The Pacers have contacted representatives for free agent swingman Mickael Pietrus, his agent confirmed to IndySportsLegends.com Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the team announced that Danny Granger was expected to be out as long as three months with patellar tendinosis in his left knee. Should Indiana decide to bolster its […]
