The Indiana Pacers have been on a 7-2 run in the past nine games after starting the season 0-3. As Paul George has stepped up his game, so has the team.

The Indiana Pacers continue to climb up the standings and the power rankings as they currently sit in the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. We gather the 8 Points, 9 Seconds staff to discuss whether this current run of success in sustainable and if Paul George deserves to be an MVP candidate.

Next: Is this team better than the 7th or 8th seed in the Eastern Conference?
