Indiana Pacers

There was no stumbling of words or stopping to collect his thoughts before speaking. Indiana Pacers shooting guard Brandon Rush knew what he wanted to say.

By mwells THE `BURBS - Don't tell Pacers coach Jim O'Brien summer league games are meaningless. It looks like former Pacers first-round pick David Harrison is attempting a comeback. Things are relatively quiet on the Pacers' free agent front these days.

The NBA's free agency period starts today, but the Indiana Pacers' shopping list is short. They have about $8 million to spend, and their priorities are to re-sign restricted free agent Jarrett Jack and stay below the luxury tax, expected to kick in at about $68 million next season.

The Indiana Pacers have made qualifying offers to point guard Jarrett Jack and forward Josh McRoberts, making them restricted free agents.

The Indiana Pacers have made qualifying offers to guard Jarrett Jack and forward Josh McRoberts, giving the team the right to match any other offers the players' receive as restricted free agents.

The Indiana Pacers will not exercise their team option on guard Marquis Daniels.

By mwells THE `BURBS - The decision not to pick up Marquis Daniels' $7.5 million team option was not an easy one for the Pacers. President Larry Bird and general manager David Morway would have little wiggle room to make any kind of offseason moves. They've now got about $9 million to work with this summe...

By jrabjohns Since he's been making the Pacers draft picks, Bird has gone for proven college players. Center Roy Hibbert and Brandon Rush, last year's first-round picks, were established college players. He said Thursday's draft developments had no real bearing on whether or not they re-sign restri...

By mwells The Pacers are on the clock. Jonathan Bender. Jermaine O'Neal. Mike Dunleavy. One player that likely won't be moved this week is locked-out point guard Jamaal Tinsley. The Pacers hope to move Tinsley before they go to arbitration at the end of July.

 IN “This is a busy time of year,” said O'Brien, looking around his subterranean Conseco Fieldhouse office cluttered with three video monitors, stacks of player videotapes, and mounds of draft prospect notes. “Lots of long days.” But O'Brien, who himself ...

The Pacers need a PG and can get it with Tyreke Evans. One of the question marks around Evans is what position is he? 1? 2? Combo? What makes this work here is that the Pacers have a history of making combo guards work. Look at the Jarrett Jack/TJ Ford ...

By mwells President Larry Bird, general manager David Morway, coach Jim O'Brien and the scouting department are heading to Chicago this week for the pre-draft combine. The Pacers won't work out potential draft picks at Conseco Fieldhouse again until June 11.

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The "go figure" stat of the night is that two of the Pacers' seven wins have come against last year's NBA Finalists; the Pacers won their home opener 95-79 against the Boston Celtics. The Lakers swept the season series against the Pacers 2-0 last year and own a 51-19 advantage in the all-time series but they have not had much success at Conseco Fieldhouse, falling to 3-7 in that building. You may recall that two seasons ago the Lakers blew a nine point third quarter lead at Indiana in a 95-84 loss that Coach Jackson, tongue planted firmly in cheek, called "sad," saying, "They just got 'sad' tonight--'s-a-d,' you know what that is, right? It's sunlight deprivation--when you get out here, it's all gray and the California boys get depressed and t...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) I have to say, comments from the other boards are more fun to collect when the Celtics are winning. But, the Pacers fans have a right to be proud of their team. They played with heart and the Celtics did not. Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) Danny Granger scored 20 points and T.J. Ford added 19 points and four assists while not committing a single turnover as the new look Indiana Pacers beat the Boston Celtics 95-79 in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 18,165 at Conseco Fieldhouse; the Pacers set a franchise record for fewest points allowed in a home opener. The Pacers were without the services of Mike Dunleavy--who started all 82 games for them last year--and they lost starting center Rasho Nesterovic to an ankle injury early in the fourth quarter when the Celtics were still within striking distance. The Celtics hurt themselves by committing 24 turnovers, shooting just 27-78 (.346) from the field and making just 21-35 (.600) free throws but--as Boston Coach Doc Rivers freely...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman Everyone who penciled the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic or Detroit Pistons into the NBA Finals better have some erasers or liquid paper handy. As LeBron James warned everyone last week, "Teams better get their wins against us now. They're trying to kill us and talk trash about us now because we have guys who are out but when we get our guys back it's going to be a different story." James is more than capable of delivering on those words--he's no Anthony Smith. The Pacers opened the second quarter with a quick 10-0 run as the Cavaliers missed three shots and committed another offensive foul but Indiana was not able to get closer than eight points. James and Hughes combined to score 10 points for Cleveland in less than two minutes as the Cavaliers pus...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman In the second quarter the Suns once again built a double digit lead and when Stoudemire's two free throws with 2:38 left made the score 66-51 it looked like Phoenix might be ahead by more than 20 by halftime. Instead, the Pacers outscored the Suns 13-3 down the stretch to remain very much in the ballgame. Stoudemire led both teams with 23 points and seven rebounds at intermission, while Nash had eight points and nine assists. O'Neal and Tinsley each scored 14 points for the Pacers. The Pacers enjoyed advantages in both rebounding (26-22) and points in the paint (36-26) and they held the Suns to 0-8 shooting from three point range (the Pacers finished the game with a 50-45 rebounding edge and a 58-46 points in the paint edge, with the 58 points bein...   [read the full post]
