NBA Franchise of the Year: Passion. Pride. Pacers.

Kaman shooting .428 from 3 pt line?!?!

He is like 3-7 on the season. lol, I've only taken wide open looks with him. Obviously, it wouldn't be that high if it was a normal thing.

^ plus the fact that 90% of your 3 point shooters are almost 50% on the year from 3. is kinda.. insane.

Only Granger is the high % from the shooters that consistently put up 3's. Everyone else is roughly around 40% which is pretty good but certainly not unrealistic.

Ford sucks from beyond the arch, as did Jarrett Jack. Chris Quinn came to me from the Heat shooting a high percentage and Dermarr Johnson who hasn't played in many games or gotten many minutes only took 3's when he was hot and happened to drain them. Him being 6'9 doesn't hurt either.

Playoffs Or Not, The Pacers Are A Better Team This Year

pacers_hawks_081230_M0210.jpg


Unless the Indiana Pacers manage to go on a 15 game losing streak, they're officially better than a season ago.

Danny Granger had 22 points, 10 rebounds, to go along with 5 steals, and Chris Kaman pulled down a staggering 20 boards and blocked 4 shots, as the Pacers matched last season's win total by beating the injury-depleted Atlanta Hawks 103-96 in Atlanta lastnight.

pacers_hawks_081230_M0017.jpg


Marquis Daniels also pitched in 18 points off the Pacers bench as Indiana reached 36 wins in 67 games - 15 fewer than it needed to get there last season.

"I don't want to make too much of it," Granger said. "Last season was a tough season for everybody. We're past that now."

The Pacers are currently 7th in the East and look to be in a perfect position to return to the postseason after a 2 year hiatus.

But even if the Pacers happen to fall off and miss the playoffs for whatever reason, the moves Pacers GM has made this year has made this team better. Now and for the future.

Aside from getting rid of the bad contracts in Jamaal Tinsley, Mike Dunleavy, and Troy Murphy early in the season, the Pacers have a plethora of contracts coming off the books this offseason (Wally's 13M, Wilcox's 6M, Hassell's 4.5M player option) and could make some noise come free agency. Not to mention, surrounding their franchise player in Granger with some solid talent.

Good thing you got Granger locked up. You planning on adding a big name to your team this offseason? Would be nice to see someone like Ben Gordon or something playing on the Pacers.

I don't think I will get in bidding wars for someone like Boozer or anything but I will definitely add a piece or two. Fill any holes that happen to arise, etc. :)

Injuries:

1987.jpg

Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat is suffering from a strained abdomen and will be forced to miss 15 days. The Heat are currently one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference right now and while Wade's injury may cause the Heat to land a lower seed in this year's playoffs, he should be able to return before the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs.

- Thunders Carlesimo on coaching hot seat?
 
You know it's funny you mention that. He used to have it on before the injury. When he came back from it, it wasn't there. Not sure why. I realized it a while back. I always tell myself I have to put the sleeve back on before I start up a game but it always slips my mind. haha.

With 12 regular seasons left to be played in the 2008/2009 season, the Indiana Pacers managed to nab their 37th win over the Dallas Mavericks lastnight.

The win gaurantees the Pacers will finish with a better record than they did a season ago(36-46).

Danny Granger scored 40 points and lit the Mavs up from beyond the arch(8-12) to lead the Pacers to victory.

Chris Kaman added 20 points and 9 rebounds to go along with 4 blocks to also help the Pacers snap a 2 game skid.

"It feels good to be back in a rhythm as a team," said Granger. "Defending home court feels good..Rivalry or not, it was an important game to get."

Despite the Pacers surpassing last season's win total, not many of the Pacers seemed to notice. Most of the Pistons players didn't know they had surpassed last season's win total until told by a reporter.

"We don't really think about the wins and losses," Pacers guard Wally Szczerbiak said. "Our focus is so much on the big picture. We're more focused on getting to the playoffs. We know we're good enough to win games. But the mindset around here is the playoffs. That's your focus."

And it's not just the veterans, either.

Pacers rookie Brandon Rush is among Indiana's youngsters who have embraced the idea that success, at least for the Pacers, will be determined by how they play in the playoffs.

"It's great," Rush said. "As a first year player, you want to come in and contribute to wins; winning is everything. The fact that we're continuing to get wins, it's a good move heading into the most important time of the season."
