Paul George addresses rumors about team chemistry

INDIANAPOLIS -

With sporadic team chemistry on the floor, speculation has run rampant off the floor.

Social media is abuzz with reasons for why the second half of the Pacers season has soured somewhat.Names like Roy Hibbert, Lance Stevenson, Paul George and George Hill have all surfaced in one way or another. Wednesday, though, Paul George said he'd had enough.

George resorted to his Instagram feed to post a picture of himself, George Hill and Roy Hibbert fishing to say, "These rumors have got to stop. It's getting old now and all you that believe them are ignorant."

"Just getting sick and tired of the media making up stories," George said after Wednesday's shoot around. "Just putting everything to bed. Everything to rest."

When Pacers fan James Ash saw the Instagram post, he said, "They look like they're having a good time. They've got good chemistry. Ain't no fighting. It's just rumors."

"I think it is a pretty good thing," added Glenn Gill, another Pacers fan. "I think there is nothing there. Just all rumors and I think it's a good thing they prove to everyone they really do get along."

It was a topic on Grady and Big Joe on 1070 The Fan Wednesday morning as well.

"I'm happy somebody is saying, 'Hush. Hush. The rumors are nonsense. You are ignorant if you believe these rumors'," show co-host Michael Grady observed.

Rumors have been swirling on social media about problems with team chemistry. George Hill, who was in the picture, tried to explain why teammate Paul George took the action he did.
