Big win for the Pacers against a good Western Conference team. Very good for them pyschologically.

The Pacers right now are the best team in the NBA.

Well I wouldn't have expected them to win with pure offense, I mean come on, the Pacers have the defense likes or Artest and J O'neal. No way can they get past and not only that, they're stealing has disappated. I would've never wanted them to win either.

I just dont know what has happend to the Mavericks. No offence but they LOOSE to the sorry teams. Out of the 5 or 6 games they played only 3 good teams have beaten then (Wolves, Lakers, Pacers). I serioulsy smell a trade coming.

The Pacers may be good right now, but they will collapse in the second half of the season. If they do not collapse in the second half, they will collapse in the postseason. It is bound to happen but until then they are one of the best teams in the NBA. (Top 3 in my eyes)

If the Lakers get their act back together, everyone else could start kissing the finals goodbye, maybe except the Pacers.
