How good does it get for us? First, Isiah left and we got Carlisle, but that wasn't good enough. Because, heading into Thanksgiving, on National TV, the ONLY game on at PrimeTime, and we can all eat Turkey, relax and watch the BEST TEAM in the NBA on TNT. Does it get any better?

It's a great feeling. I never liked the Isiah Thomas era since day 1, and i loved the Bird/Carlisle era since Day 1 but i had no idea they would have this team turned around so quickly.

We're 12-2 and that's with Pollard and Tinsley being major BUSTS and with Jonny Bender hurt. Bender's return will only add to our depth, add scoring and give us even more speed.

Anyways, happy Thanksgiving guys! Go Pacers!

I know this question was for Pacer fans primarily, but I'll answer. It doesn't feel good at all. You guys are off to a blazing start and are ppaying great basketball. I'm not a hater, so I won't try to bring you guys or your team down with sarcastic remarks -- so Congrats!

Just remember we got a long way to go the rest of the way.

You guys are off to a hot start and have looked impressive but I see you have a tough west coast swing coming up here

Nov 30 Sun @ L.A. Lakers
Dec 1 Mon @ Phoenix 9:00 pm
3 Wed @ Portland 10:00 pm
5 Fri @ Seattle 10:30 pm
7 Sun @ Sacramento

That two and a half game lead you have on the pistons will probably be gone after that trip

Pacers Fan

I personally can't wait to play the Lakers, the showdown between the 2 best teams in the league. That's really the only game i could see us losing on that trip. Phoenix, Portland, and Seattle should be easy victories and the same with Sacramento. Does anyone dare to put their sig on the line saying that we won't go 4-1 on this trip or better?

Road games across the country are 'easy' victories? LOL

You're joking right?

Pacers Fan

Have we lost a road game yet? Plus all the games are pretty much in Washington-Cali-Oregon except Phoenix so we shouldn't have negative things happen to us because of being away. We also get a day off between the games. What you want to put a Pacers vs Pistons sig on the line?

I'll say you guys lose in Sacramento. The Kings play really well at home. Brad Miller will be fired up to play that one also. I think that is an L.

Why would I put a Pacers vs Pistons sig on the line? Why do I really care what Indiana does on a west coast trip in December?

But, to say that winning in Arco arena is going to be easy? Or against other good teams on the road? I think the Pacers go 2-3 with wins over Portland and Seattle. The Lakers and Sacramento have not lost at home yet. That is more likely to stand than an undefeated road record.

Pacers Fan

How so is that more likely to stand? We have better records than all those teams yet you think in 5 games we lose more games than we have all of this year? I think i see some Piston jealousy.

Quite frankly I would be worried if I am a pacers fan. IMO this is about as good as the pacers are going to play. Yet you only have a 2 1/2 game lead on the hornets and pistons. The Hornets don't have monster mash and the pistons have had their share of injuries plus they have played a brutal schedule to this point. Whats going to happen when the Hornets and Pistons start playing good?

Pacers Fan

FYI We haven't had Jermaine for a few games but still won, also did you possibly think that Hornets are better without Mash? The same way as Seattle possibly being better with Murray in the lineup instead of Allen. The Pistons have had some injuries but what difference does it make when "superstar" Darko gets more playing time? Everyone has injuries and what it comes down to is that we can win without Jermaine, Hornets without Mash, and Pistons without whoever because they're still winning.

Is this a joke?? lol

wow, talk about one HUGE biased fan.

What makes you think Detriot AND NO will not go into slumps during the season? What makes you think either of those two are good enough to go on a 12-2 run? Why can't play Pacers play well all season long with a few bad streaks? Because we beat BOTH NO AND Det in their houses????

Tuff Schedules? Who has had a tougher schedule then Indy? Road games to Det, NO, Philly, Nets...... home wins vs Minny and played in our rivals home Knicks.

Man, people need to stop being so damn biased and talk about a team with respect, if you're going to be so biased might as well stay on Detriots forum.
