Maybe I’m a little too high on the Indiana Pacers this season. Though, the fact that this team has the second best player in the Eastern Conference gives me confidence that Indiana has a great chance to make some noise in the Eastern Conference this year.
Paul George had a sensational season a year ago, and that was with him having to do most of the heavy-lifting on both sides of the ball. Now, with an improved supporting cast, which features Jeff Teague and Al Jefferson, George could be in line for an even bigger season.
The only thing that concerns me with the Pacers is their coaching staff. While it was fine that Larry Bird thought it was time for a change in leadership, even though I loved the work that Frank Vogel did, I’m not sure Nate McMillan is the answer.
