The Indiana Pacers have smoothed out things after a rocky start to the month and have picked up two-straight wins.
With things once again looking good in Indiana, we gather some of the internet’s leading Pacersologists to take a look at some of the storylines and issues of the Indiana Pacers going into the rest of the month.
The Indiana Pacers are on pace to win 50 games, well above most of our predictions. Are you ashamed of yourself and why do you think you were so wrong?
Whitney Medworth: Hey, I picked 45 so I’m not that wrong! I will say they’re much better than I thought. I’m not even mad at Chase Budinger anymore and Jordan Hill, even though his bad is bad, his good is SO good for this team.
Dylan Hughes: I am not ashamed of myself because frankly I didn’t know what the hell to expect. I don’t even remember making a prediction except that they’d make the playoffs. So I really don’t know whether to feel surprised or not. One thing I will say is I did not expect them to come together so early in the season. And I still don’t think they’re quite together all the way yet.
Will Furr: I’m not ashamed at all. I pegged them 44-46 wins, I think? I still think that’s about where they end up. Good, not great team
Ben Gibson: My heart was hoping for this, but my head certainly wasn’t expecting it. There was little reason to expect this to go so smoothly so far. As good of a coach as Frank Vogel is, anyone would be tested to change both the roster and the style of play at the same time. The fact this has worked out so quickly is just a pleasant surprise.
