Well, the Pacers are struggling as of late, but if you are a glass-half-full kind of guy as I am, then you will see that it could be worse. The Cavaliers have now lost 9 in a row and are also trying to get back on track. The Pacers have taken care of business against Mo Williams, J.J. Hickson and the Cavs so far this season, but the Cavs are coming of a very close game against the Miami HEAT in which they fought and showed signs of breaking out of their slump.
The Pacers need this one tonight to get back on track as they face the Boston Celtics and New Orleans Hornets next. In order to come out with a win, Jim O'Brien is asking his captain, Danny Granger, to take more of a leadership role. In addition to this article, check out the rest of the links of the day....
