The OKC Thunder travel to Indianapolis for a match full of plenty of story lines.  TIP3 talks to 8 Points, 9 Seconds to get insight prior to the tip.

TIP3 today dives into three questions on the Indiana Pacers leading up to their match with the  OKC Thunder. This contest offers numerous questions particularly because of the players who used to be on opposite sides of the court wearing different jerseys.

As per usual Thunderous Intentions TIP 3 examines each game prior to the tip and asks an authority who can shed light on the opposition. Specifically, by pairing this information with TI’s pregame analysis it gives OKC Thunder fans a full picture of what to expect prior to tip. Lending insight for the Indiana Pacers is writer Dylan Hughes.  He is a feature writer at FanSided Affiliate  8 Points, 9 Seconds and an editor/lead columnist at 16 Wins A Ring.

George returns to Indiana:

In the first meeting between the squads the OKC Thunder won. This has been the narrative for each of the big stars as they’ve faced their previous squads. However, it took major efforts from Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook. Conversely, Paul George struggled facing his former team. In just over 19 minutes George scored 10 points, but missed all of his three point attempts (0-3) and grabbed just a single rebound. It’s likely George was pressing as he fouled out of the game.

This time around the OKC Thunder will be on Indiana’s court which could be even more stressful for George. Certainly the boo birds will rain down on him. On the other hand, Thunder Nation might end up getting to see George in more of a playoff like demeanor. PG13  is known to raise his game when the lights are brightest and the pressure is greatest.

With that, let’s dive in to TIP3 with Dylan Hughes.
