Pacers fans prepared to throw shade at Paul George
With Paul George getting set to take the court at Bankers Life Fieldhouse for the first time in an Oklahoma City uniform, Indiana Pacer fans are ready to remind their former superstar which team got the better end of the trade.
Pacers fans had this night marked on their calendars since July 6, and judging by social media, George is about to get an earful.

Some fans are obviously feeling a little jilted:
In the first match up of the season between Indiana and OKC, Paul George fouled out after scoring 10 points and Oladipo put up 35. However, Oklahoma City still managed to come out with a 116-103 win.
Getting the win was nice, George will be looking to increase his production with all eyes on him.
Despite not having the best start to the season, George said he’s content with the decision he’s made and urges Pacer fans to come to terms with reality as well.

As Pacer fans will be quick to remind George, it hasn’t been the start to the season Oklahoma City was looking forward to.
However, there’s still plenty of time, and each win at this point will go a long way towards getting back on track. Regardless of the entertaining story line, this game feels like a must win.
