INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers are on fire right now bruh!!! With their win on Sunday night over the New York Knicks they’ve won 7 straight and have become one of only 5 teams in the league with 20 wins.That’s good stuff right there!!

Talk about racing up the charts like Cardi B!! The Pacers are putting boyz on notice around the league and especially in the East. They won the first 4 games of the 7 game win streak without Victor Oladipo. That was unheard of last season when they were 0-7 without him. This year it’s next man up according to the big homie, Thaddeus Young, who was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday.

I had a chance to holler at Thad after practice on Monday and here’s what he had to say about why they’re puttin’ in so much work and how they were able to win without Oladipo.

Indiana is sitting in the third spot in the East right now just waiting on a boy to drop his sandwich. They held up for the moment behind Milwaukee who’s 19-9 and Toronto who’s 23-9. Yessir!!!! It’s beginning to look a lot like ballin’ season. Up next the Cleveland Cavaliers come rolling into town on Tuesday night.
