The NBA moves in all directions, every week, every night, but at the moment one trend remains fixed: Indiana wins its games no matter what, and the Playoffs remain in the sights of the Pacers. We’re on 8 wins in 10 games for Tyrese Haliburton and his crew, one of the hottest teams right now.
Who is hotter than the Nets currently in the NBA?
No one. But if it is necessary to designate a dolphin, the battle necessarily includes the Pacers of Rick Carlisle.
With 8 wins in the last 10 games, Bennedict Mathurin’s friends continue their good season by systematically finding a solution. We saw it this weekend once morest Portland, in a match which was however badly embarked, Indiana found its resources in money-time and the Blazers fell. Beginner’s luck? Not really, if we follow the Pacers since the start of the season.
Because it starts to be very lucky, following 41 games, when you are Top 6 in your conference.
Yes, Indiana is Top 6 in the Eastern Conference at midseason, and this one no one might have taken out.
Tonight, it was the Hornets who had to lay down their arms, in a game where Indiana was favorite. However, the punishment usually comes from a man you don’t expect. Tyrese Haliburton? Ok, but Buddy Hield? Bennedict Mathurin? Myles Turner? Against Charlotte, a franchise that has dreamed of having it for years, the pivot had a great time (29 points) and pushed back the transfer discussions around him even more.
Which leads us precisely to this famous trade deadline, to come in exactly a month.
When we see the good dynamics of the Pacers and the pleasure experienced by their fans, what state will this team be in on February 9? Will Myles Turner and Buddy Hield be transferred? Or will the extension rumors be confirmed with a new deal keeping the interior in the region? It’s a real dilemma that will await the management of Indiana, knowing that the atmosphere is ultra-positive at the moment.
Indiana wins, wins and wins once more, to thwart all possible and imaginable predictions. Who will be the next team to fall? Answer this week in the NBA.
