Indiana Pacers Headed Backwards in Power Rankings

The Indiana Pacers slide below the .500 mark once again this season, turning up the pressure on a under-performing team.

The Indiana Pacers are now on their first three-game losing of the season as this week’s edition of the power rankings roundup is upon us.

With the lack of consistency as of late, most of the experts (that aren’t enjoying an extended Christmas vacation) have Indiana sliding down the board, and understandably so.

The Pacers are starting to hit a breaking point where the fans, players, and organization all know that there is something wrong, even if they don’t know how to fix it.

The losses to the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics, and now the Chicago Bulls have put Indiana at the lowest point it is been at all season.

17This team really can’t string any games together. Paul George told reporters that Indiana’s “identity is inconsistency.” Not great. (Last Week: 16th) — Sports Illustrated

16One game under .500, with over half their games at home so far where they are 11-5. I am suspicious of this team being worse than their record. (Last week: 18) — CBS Sports

The Pacers face the Washington Wizards, the Bulls again, and the Orlando Magic this week as they try to get back on the right side of .500.
