We're back at home, which after three-straight losses would normally be a good thing. Too bad we're living in the upside down.
This season keeps getting stranger as it goes on. Suddenly we're the black sheep of the NBA family. For whatever reason, we've attracted the Eye of Silvron and his army of super competent, super integrity conscious lawyers mean to make an example of us.
So the NBA didn’t talk to the Pacers medical staff, didn’t talk to the players, and proposed medicating injured players for them to play through injuries in an already lost season when deciding to fine the organization $100k.

Tonight, we take on the Sixers who have been having a rough two weeks. On the positive side, they did snap a four-game losing streak on Sunday against Minnesota.
Johnn Furphy Surgery
Our favorite floppy haired Aussie had a successful knee surgery. We look forward to him returning to court next year.
Johnny Furphy underwent successful surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee.
