PG's return to Indy

[abidtsteele]

Billed in Indy as Oladipo and Sabonis playing against their former teams. No mention of PG.

Before the game the Pacers showed a long video going through all the greats in their history -- Wayman Tisdale, Chuck Person, Dale Davis, Jeff Foster, Jalen Rose, Reggie Miller, etc. Paul George was not included.

PG booed by fans . . . even those wearing his Jersey.

Multiple mentions that Oladipo has hit 2 game winning shots as a Pacer and that PG never hit any.

Things like this are why I love the NBA. Drama night in and night out

Almost Indy. Almost.

Love how Indy wins a few games and starts really feelin good about themselves.

They'll be bounced outta the playoffs by Lebron again come this spring.

People were saying this team would win 25-30 games. I'd be ecstatic to make the playoffs.

Just for the record, I think LeBron will bounce again this summer as well.

Man, you must really feel threatened by their little bit of success to make this kind of post.

Bad evening?

They lost that game. Too many turnovers and forced shots. They need to CTFD

Ha... I'm just messing with you guys.....

The Pacers are one of the feel good stories of the NBA this far.

With what's going on with the Warriors, I really don't think this season is at all about championship aspirations for all but a very few teams. For young, mid tier teams like Indiana, Philly, Milwaukee etc, its about developing as a team and starting to put some things together.

The Pacers are doing a great job at that.

Hate to burst the bubble here but that video that showed all the Pacers legends is the same video they've been showing for upwards of 4 years. It has never had an active player featured in it.

Love that article from Whitney Medworth

For someone living in France, Paul George made me following the Pacers, and the team with Granger, Hibbert, West, Hill & Lance was hands down my favorite of the decade.

Bitter taste in mouth with the way he left the franchise, but you can't forget the 2-way player he was before his injury.

This won't be the same anymore, the PG of the early years > PG now, and you can't always living in the past, but he really brought me back interest in the NBA.

But Paul George is always going be that ex Pacers fans think about, even if we don’t want to admit it. That’s OK. That’s not necessarily rational. Just understand that Pacers fans will always be hurt by how things ended with George. We went through a lot together, and those memories, good and bad, will linger for a long time to come.

The sad end of this relationship will be hard for us to get over, no matter how great this new relationship with Victor Oladipo and friends is.
