INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers will welcome a familiar face to Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Monday night, as former head coach Frank Vogel and the Orlando Magic will be in town. Vogel coached the Pacers for the previous six seasons. He holds the most wins in franchise history and compiled the second-best winning percentage for any Pacers head coach (.580).Larry Bird made a somewhat surprising move in the offseason, replacing Vogel with Nate McMillan. Both teams are off to slow starts this season, as they each enter Monday night with a 4-6 record. But Vogels Magic just took down the Thunder on Sunday and are hoping to build off that victory.For the most part, Vogel was well-liked in Indianapolis, and the fans should respond accordingly.I think Frank will get a great reaction, said McMillan. The fans will be able to show their appreciation for all that he contributed here.Itll be great, Paul George told the Indianapolis Star. Im sure itll be an emotional moment for himself and for our crowd.Vogel agrees. I have a lot of strong ties still there, he told the Orlando Sentinel. Some of my best basketball moments of my life were coaching the Pacers.The Pacers had aspirations of being a top team in the Eastern Conference this season, but have struggled to find their identity in the early going. Theyre coming off an uninspiring week in which they played two overtime games with Philadelphia, including one loss, and their first home loss of the season on Saturday night against Boston.Indiana is hoping to have George back in action. He missed Saturdays game with a sprained ankle.Scoring has not been the issue for the Pacers, as theyve averaged 108.4 points per game so far, good enough for fifth in the NBA.The opposite has been true for Orlando. Coming into Sunday night, the Magic were last in the NBA at 92.3 points per game. They exploded for 119 points in the win over Oklahoma City. They were led by Serge Ibaka, who scored 31 points and hit the game-winning shot against his former team.Im not going to lie to you, it felt good, Ibaka said after the game.The Magic were able to withstand Russell Westbrooks monster night (41 points, 16 assists, 12 rebounds) in the win.Both of these teams are among the NBAs worst in team defensive rating. They both are giving up over 108 points per 100 possessions, which is rare for one of Vogels teams. It will be an intriguing matchup for two teams that are both searching for their own identity.The Magic will be without Jodie Meeks (fractured fifth metatarsal) and the Pacers will be without Rodney Stuckey (right hamstring strain.)Indiana went 2-1 against the Magic last season and have won 11 of the last 13 meetings overall. Monday will be the first of four matchups between these teams this season. Kieran Trippier England Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. Jordan Henderson Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. http://www.englandsoccerpro.com/Jesse-Lingard-England-Jersey/ . "I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. Harry Kane Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Jordan Henderson England Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Premiership Rugby chief executive Mark McCafferty has criticised the scheduling of next years 10-match British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, saying it is not sustainable for players.The touring team are due to depart before the Premiership and PRO12 finals, with the first match taking place on the same weekend as the Top 14 final in France -- a clash which could rule out Toulons Wales fullback Leigh Halfpenny.But McCaffertys main concern is the length of the tour so soon after the gruelling domestic season.It is going to be very difficult next year, he told the Observer. It is a punishing schedule and I do not know why it was signed up to. Ten games over that period is a lot and there will be difficulty for players coming off that tour going into the 2017-18 Premiership.The Lions is in the mix as we move towards the season sstructure post-2019.dddddddddddd It is a fabulous brand and an important part of the economics for the southern hemisphere. It should carry on but it is not sustainable that players can go through a club and international season, be involved in that scale of tour and then be in shape for the following season.People involved in the Lions need to listen. Do you need to play that number of midweek games when the economics are driven off the back of three Tests in the main? Nothing can be done about next year but then the agreement will be up and things need to be worked out.The first game of the 10-match series is scheduled for June 3, 2017, with the final fixture coming against the All Blacks on July 8.
