Ready for some Pacers Basketball?


There's a link you can go visit to see all the Pacers game this season. It should be an entertaining one that's only 66 games, so most of the games will have meaning. I think for this team, the Pacers, they need to start out strong.  Get some fans to support the team in a good first part of the season.  There's not a lot of time to pull those three and four game losing streaks.  With the core group of talent here, I am expecting a good season out of the Pacers.  They might not be in the top half of the conference, but I feel like anything less than making the playoffs would be a failure.  Hopefully, making a splash through free agency or a trade, will get this team another scorer or big man.  Those are the needs that I think need to be fulfilled.  I also think that Roy Hibbert needs to get all of his confidence going right away, and not have that mental breakdown he did last year.  With Frank Vogel at the helm, that should help out.  He seems like the players type coach who brings a lot of passion and energy to the team.  Danny Granger needs to step up and be a leader off and on the court. I hope he's more of a drive to the basket guy this year than sit back and take a three all game.  We need to see how George Hill fits in here as well.  Does he become a starter or sixth man?  That probably depends on Darren Collison. I loved the pickup of Collison last year, but he never played up to the expectations.  This year he needs to do that.  Paul George looked good in the playoffs, and I expect another year of maturity out of him.  That's just a few pieces of the puzzle. I know we are a small market team, and probably shouldn't be able to compete with the big teams, but why not?  If a team like Memphis could get their act together and knock off the Spurs last year and make a run to the Conference Finals with Zach Randolph as their main star, then surely the Pacers could get something special going this year.
