INDIANAPOLIS -- The Los Angeles Clippers will make their only visit to Indianapolis on Sunday night to take on the Indiana Pacers.Indiana (8-9) will be without Paul George, who is battling ankle and back injuries. The Pacers were able to dominate the Nets on Friday night without their star, but the Clippers present a completely different challenge.Tonight is what I feel we can become, coach Nate McMillan of the Pacers said after Fridays win. I told the guys we cant go back. We cant keep going back and forth. Weve got to build off of this and establish our identity.With injuries to Paul George and C.J. Miles, the Pacers have turned to Glenn Robison III, and he has responded. He scored a career-high 20 points against the Nets.Coach told me to always be ready, and to be confident, Robison said.McMillan added: Hes really stepped up for us. Offensively, Im not worried about him. Im very confident with him on the floor.The Pacers have had a lot more success at home this season, winning seven of their 11 games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Three of those four losses, however, were without Paul George in the lineup.The Clippers (14-3) are off to a great start this season, but dropped their last game in Detroit, 108-97. It was their first road loss of the season.They came to play, coach Doc Rivers of the Clippers said. They were ready to play. I thought we just kind of showed up.The Clippers havent lost two straight this season and hope to avoid that again on Sunday.One reason for the Clippers success is their ability to get to the foul line. Through 17 games, they are taking and making more free throws than any team in the NBA.Free throws are a huge part of the game, forward Paul Pierce told the Orange County Register. If you have a guy that can get to the line or get to the basket down the stretch, thats a dangerous player.The Pacers have had some issues containing point guards this season, and Chris Paul is one of the best in the business.Paul is averaging 19.3 points in the Clippers wins, and only 10.7 points in their three losses. He scored 26 in his only game against the Pacers last season, including 11 points in the 4th-quarter.The Clippers are averaging 110.1 points per game, third best in the NBA, while the Pacers are giving up the sixth most points in the league (107.2)Indiana hopes its their recent players-only meeting will jumpstart a nice run.I wanted to get the guys together and wanted to get them to just start seeing the game differently, Paul George told the Indianapolis Star. Theres no reason why we cant communicate on the offensive end.Last season, the Pacers and Clippers split their two-game series, with both teams winning on the road. The Clippers have won their last two games in Indiana. Hockey Jerseys China .

Grand Prix Drivers Association chairman Alexander Wurz admits he is surprised by Formula Ones rejection of the proposed Halo cockpit protection device for 2017.On Thursday the F1 Strategy Group unanimously voted against?introducing the Halo design for 2017, instead agreeing that the device needs further evaluation and testing. Although there has been no official statement from the FIA -- who have been keen to push through head protection in time for next season -- it appears that it will not be introduced until at least 2018.Wurz told Sky Sports F1: They have started the development on this in 2010 so its not just happened overnight and they presented this Halo solution as a workable first go as additional head protection.In their opinion it is a better system than anything than anything we have at the moment and this is how it was presented to the drivers just a week ago, so Im surprised of this U-turn, to go away from what the experts recommend. Already its in a design process of the race cars with the technical guides of the teams, to now step away and delay by one year, Im surprised by that.Wurz -- who competed in 69 grand prix beetween 1997 and 2007 at Benetton, McLaren and Williams -- dismissed that F1 has lost some of its appeal due to its approach towards safety and says he sees no reason for the sport to have an element of danger.ddddddddddddLets say the most popular year of Formula One in 2009 with the highest global viewing figures, there is one clear graph, popularity goes up and is stronger. The racing was close, was competitive but there is another graph which is the opposite trend, which is injuries and fatalities, it just went down. So I see no coloration at any point that we need to have dangerous racing where drivers are endangered for the popularity.The guys want to see emotion, hero to zero moments, people spinning, making mistakes, a crash yes is part of such emotion but if the safety experts say we can save a life better, I think it takes nothing away from courage. If you go through Eau Rouge with 320 [km/h] you dont think I have this Halo thing above me and therefore I do it flat, because the impact hurts anyway. ' ' '
