NBA Power Rankings: Here come the Golden State Warriors

16. team. 100. Getting a win over the Russell Westbrook triple-double-led Oklahoma City Thunder on the road, without Paul George, is a huge boost for this team’s psyche. Jeff Teague seems to be getting closer and closer to rediscovering the player he was for the Atlanta Hawks and that can only mean good things for the Indiana Pacers. Though they’ve been able to battle to split half their 14 games this year, this team has some troubling losses. The Pacers have dropped games against the Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns–all games the Pacers entered as favorites. If they win those three games they’re sitting at 10-4 and have the fifth best record in the league right now. Indiana has amassed the talent to be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, but they’re still working on the cohesion. If that ever comes together than this team has no way to go but up. They also need to hope that George and the rest of the injured Pacers will soon be back in time for them to begin to separate themselves from the bottom of the pack in the East.. (7-8). Previous: .
