Pacers forward Danny Granger chatted with Jorge Sierra of HoopsHype.com this week and discussed a variety of topics.

For one, Granger agrees with the team's stance on rookie guard Lance Stephenson, who has been banned from the team's facilities in the wake of a domestic abuse incident.

"You have to put your foot down at one point," Granger said. "We've had a lot of incidents happen in Indianapolis that caused bad publicity for the team and the community. You have to put your foot down and take a stand about things."

Granger also said that he thinks he and new point guard Darren Collison could be a tandem for years to come.

"He's young and I'm young. I think we can be a lot of years in Indiana together."
