INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts are in trouble with three games left to play. Adidas Zx 750 Baratas .Theyre one game out of the AFC South lead, down the head-to-head tiebreaker to Houston inside the division and additional tiebreakers in the race for a wild-card spot.Their battered roster took even more hits during Sundays demoralizing loss to the Texans and now the Colts must spend the next two weekends on the road -- at Minnesota and at Oakland -- after putting themselves on the brink of playoff elimination.Outside the team complex everyone understands that Indy is likely to miss the postseason party for the second straight year. Inside the building, nobody is making a concession speech.Were not out of this thing, but we have to do our part. Everybody knows what we have to do, linebacker Trent Cole said.Being in this league 12 seasons, Ive seen a lot of different things, a lot of different scenarios. But we have to do our part.As usual, coach Chuck Pagano is fighting back with some reminders of the bouts hes already survived.He missed 12 games during the 2012 season, his first in Indy, to battle leukemia and then coached his first playoff game without offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who was hospitalized on game day.The next year in the playoffs against Kansas City, Pagano watched everyone count out the Colts when they trailed 38-10 less than 90 seconds into the second half. Andrew Luck wound up leading Indy to an improbable 45-44 victory.Last year, after losing Luck for nine games and playing five different quarterbacks, Pagano still managed to go 8-8 by winning the season finale with recently signed street free agents Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley taking turns behind center in the season finale.And after reports surfaced of a rift between Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson and rampant speculation about Paganos impending firing, both not only survived but also received contract extensions through the 2019 season in January.So defying conventional wisdom has become the norm for Pagano and he believes his team can do it again.You guys all know I have great perspective on things and I always keep that perspective with me, Pagano said.As much as it (the loss) stings, its ancient history as far coaches and players go.A handful of players relayed similar messages to reporters Monday.But to prove the doubters wrong, Indy (6-7) must do something it hasnt all season -- win three straight -- and still get some help.Even the players couldnt sugarcoat their frustration.We laid down -- its simple, receiver T.Y. Hilton said Sunday. Guys didnt make plays that were supposed to make plays.Pagano and cornerback Darius Butler said they believed Hiltons comment was made in the emotion of the moment and wasnt intended to be critical of teammates or coaches.Digging out of this hole becomes even more challenging now that left guard Jack Mewhort (left knee) and starting safety Clayton Geathers will miss the rest of the season. Both were placed on injured reserve Monday.And after failing to meet expectations with Luck healthy this season, Pagano and the Colts will likely be dealing with more speculation about the futures of Pagano, Grigson or both and whatever offseason changes could be coming.The Colts solution is simple: Focus on football, hope for the best and ignore the rest.We have these last few games and we have no idea whats going to happen, linebacker Edwin Jackson said. But we have to go out and win these last three games and see what happens. We took a big hit yesterday.Game notes Indy also put backup linebacker Curt Maggitt (knee) on injured reserve and filled two spots on the roster by signing veteran safety Duke Williams and promoting receiver Devin Street from the practice squad to the active roster. ... Receiver Donte Moncrief (hamstring) is listed as day to day. ... Pagano said outside linebacker Robert Mathis (biceps) is getting healthier, but that right guard Denzelle Good has not yet been cleared from the concussion protocol.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Adidas Superstar Baratas España .

NEW YORK -- Jeremy Lin fell just short of a triple-double, though there was a 10th assist after the buzzer.The point guard tracked down the game ball and gave it to Kenny Atkinson, who got his first win as an NBA coach not far from where he grew up.Pretty special, Atkinson said, his eyes welling up a bit.Lin had 21 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in his Nets home debut, Brook Lopez scored 25 and Brooklyn beat the Indiana Pacers 103-94 on Friday night.Lin drew some delirious cheers the way he briefly did during his run of Linsanity last time he played in New York, with the Knicks in 2012.Atkinson was the assistant coach who worked closely with him on that team, and Lins first thought was of the Northport native when the buzzer sounded.This is his and he deserves it, and I better not see him play with that ball or whatever, Lin said. He better get that framed and make sure he knows.Sean Kilpatrick hit consecutive 3-pointers during the decisive fourth-quarter surge and finished with 18 points for the Nets, who lost to Boston in their opener.Paul George had 22 points and nine rebounds for the Pacers, who were outscored 31-15 in the fourth quarter.The Nets opened their fifth season in Brooklyn by improving to 4-1 in home openers, an immediate highlight in a rebuilding season where there arent expected to be many of them.They brought the fight to us, George said. We knew coming in that this team necessarily (did not have) have the names but they play hard and they play together.The Pacers, who opened with a 130-121 overtime victory over Dallas, surged into the lead with a 31-point third quarter.But the Nets answered with a run early in the fourth, then took control after Georges basket tied it at 85 midway through the period.Justin Hamiltons three-point play snapped the tie and Kilpatrick followed with consecutive 3-pointers to put the Nets up 94-85 with about 4 minutes left. LLin closed it out down the stretch with some free throws and a basket in the lane. Adidas Superstar Supercolor Baratas. I thought Brooklyn came out and played harder than we did, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said.Pacers: Myles Turner, who had 30 points and 16 rebounds in the opener, finished with 13 points and 11 boards. ...

The Pacers six visits tied them with Atlanta for the most frequent home-opening opponent.THAD GLADThaddeus Young scored 19 points. He spent 1 1/2 seasons in Brooklyn and was told last spring by general manager Sean Marks that he wouldnt be traded. Then he was dealt, getting dealt to Indiana for the rights to first-round pick Caris LeVert. He wasnt disappointed by the deal, even though hes still trying to sell his home in Brooklyn. I think the farther we got into the summer, I think they realized that there wasnt any use in just holding me or continuing to keep me here if Im trying to be in situations where Im trying to win, Young said.HOME SWEET HOMEKilpatrick, a Yonkers, New York native, has scored in double figures in 21 of his 25 games as a Net. He is 20-for-40 from 3-point range in nine career home games at Barclays Center.UP NEXTPacers: Visit Chicago on Saturday.
