Pacers HC Vogel met with team Wednesday about airing 'in-house stuff to the media'

Roy Hibbert is tired of talking about the team's struggles, David West thinks the team has hit rock bottom, and Paul George thinks they're better than this.

The Indiana Pacers finally won on Wednesday, their first in four games and just their second in the past seven, but even then it was a narrow defeat of lowly Detroit.

As the team's laundry continues to be aired publicly - "We're splintering a little bit," Hibbert said Monday - head coach Frank Vogel thinks that's one area the Pacers can clean up.

“It bothers me,” Vogel said before Wednesday's game. 

“Guys should never air in-house stuff to the media. I talked to the team about it [on Wednesday]...I made sure to tell them that A) I don't believe we have 'selfish dudes' in our locker room and B) whatever you might want to say about your teammates, don't say it to the media. We have to get that stopped."

They have to get things figured out on the court, too, but maybe a re-galvanized locker room can help in that regard. 

Indiana has just six games left not only to secure the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but try to find their groove again entering the playoffs. Despite the relatively weak East this season, Charlotte and New York no longer look like simple outs in round one.
