Don’t look now, but the Pacers have finally taken rookie Paul George out of the box. In last Wednesday’s win over the Mavericks, George came off the bench to score 16 points in only 18 minutes, including back-to-back treys early in the fourth quarter. (He was 4-of-6 from beyond the arc for the game.)

Last night, as the Heat fell behind early on the scoreboard and couldn’t penetrate Atlanta’s brick wall of a defense, the Miami crowd was more dead than Dr. Conrad Murray’s office phone … LeBron was back after missing two games with an ankle injury, while Bosh sat out with his own ankle injury.

In November, I wrote an article titled, “The Coach K Effect,” which talked about how the NBA was being dominated by members of this summer’s Team USA. It appears we weren’t the only ones to notice.

In case you didn’t know, Michael Jordan runs a monthly mailbag on Bobcats.com. You know, because that’s something you’d expect the G.O.A.T. to do.
