JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jalen Ramsey and Steve Smith had to be separated in the fourth quarter and again after the game.Jacksonvilles rookie cornerback even refused to talk to Baltimores veteran receiver following the Ravens 19-17 victory Sunday. Ramsey didnt hold back in the locker room, though, a move Smith later questioned on Twitter.Once youre beating youre opponent whos in front of you physically and psychologically, they tend to get mad like that, Ramsey said. I dont care how old he is. I dont care. You line up in front of me, youre going to get me. If that made him angry, then he can go home and sleep on it. I dont care. You aint going to try me as a man. At the end of the day, it is what it is.Smith had long left EverBank Field when he saw Ramseys quotes and defended himself on Twitter.I gave U every opportunity to speak face to face, Smith wrote.

They overcame the loss of their top scorer to win a division title and make their deepest playoff run in nine years. They put the defending champion Miami Heat on the brink of elimination and recaptured their fans in this basketball-loving state. Now one of the leagues youngest teams insists that Monday nights dismal season-ending loss wont stymie their ascension. It will only make this team better and tougher. "First time for a lot of us to be in this situation, Game 7," budding star Paul George said after the 99-76 rout ended Indianas run in the Eastern Conference finals. "They (the Heat) really ramped up the pressure. We should have taken a deep breath and remembered its just a basketball game and doing what weve been doing all year long." A year ago, the Pacers were pondering so many other things heading into the off-season. George had struggled mightily against Miami in the playoffs and promised to return a different player. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh continually sliced up Indianas defence. And with such a young roster, many wondered how long it would take this team to mature. Turns out, not long at all. George delivered on his promise, taking the reins when Danny Granger started the season on the bench because of an injured left knee, and wound up being selected the NBAs Most Improved Player. Center Roy Hibbert signed his big contract, spent the off-season training MMA style and eventually showed he was worth all that money by dominating the middle in the playoffs. Forward David West returned to form, providing inside muscle and veteran expertise to help stabilize the Pacers when times got tough, and George Hill and Lance Stephenson fit neatly into their new roles. Together, Indiana turned the conference finals into the most compelling playoff series of the post-season and they didnt even have to be perfect to nearly upset the defending champs. Coach Frank Vogel pulled his rim protector, Hibbert, out in overtime of Game 1 and when George overplayed James on the final play, the four-time MVP drove in for an easy game-winning layup as the buzzer sounded. The Pacers failed to protect their home court in Game 3, blew a halftime lead at Miami in Game 5 and a first-quarter lead in Game 7 at Miami. The missed opportunities prevented Indiana from turning the NBA Finals into an old ABA donnybrook with San Antonio, and the scary part is what the Pacers can do next -- if they keep the core group together. Indianas top off-season priority will be re-signing West, who heads into free agency after posting averages of 17.1 points and 7.7 rebounds during the season and virtually identical numbers in the playoffs. Despite speculation that the 6-foot-9, 250-pound soon-to-be 33-year-old West might rejoin ex-teammate Chris Paul, West has continued to make it perfectly clear where he would like to play next season. "This is my group. These arre my guys.dddddddddddd. You know, I cant see myself going anywhere else," West said after Mondays loss. "Were the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, one of the top four teams in the league, in my estimation, based on this year. This group is a solid group. It gives me as an individual the best chance to accomplish the goals that I have left in terms of my future, and thats competing at this stage of the game every single year from here on out." The question is how much can this small-market team afford? Last summer, Indiana gave big contracts to Hibbert and Hill. The Pacers also face the costly proposition of trying to re-sign George and Stephenson, who are scheduled to become restricted free agents in 2014, while trying to improve a bench that didnt provide enough scoring punch in the conference finals. The Pacers must also decide what to do with Granger, who led the Pacers in scoring each of the previous five seasons. In 2012-13, he played in only five games and watched from the bench as the Pacers came within one win of reaching the NBA Finals for the first time since Reggie Miller & Co. in 2000 Grangers absence gave Indiana a glimpse i
