Let the Wins Keep Coming

Another win for the Pacers as they took care of business up in the state of Minnesota.  Apparently, you don't want to anger Danny Granger as he went for 36 points, with 29 of those points in the second half. A little skirmish with Kevin Love got things going even more for Granger.  Love mentioned he doesn't like the Pacers at all, and thought they were a soft team. I've seen this team play, and they're definitely not a soft team.  Love is realizing that as well, and so have the Bulls.  So add two teams now that have disdain for the Pacers, and that tells me they are doing something right. If you're not getting "love" from teams for playing hard, then you're playing the smash mouth basketball this Pacers team needs to do. They will get another test tomorrow night against the defending champions in the Dallas Mavericks.  This is obviously not the same Mavs team that won last year, but still a tough team to play.  If the Pacers can pick up the win, that would be 4-0 this week with a game at home against yet again the Orlando Magic.  We've played them two times already and split the first two games with a home loss by 19, but a road win by 21.  Explain that to me, but with this shortened season, it's going to be full of those type of occurrences.
