An abbreviated Indiana Pacers preview

Alright, real quick, sans the pictures.

They lost a lot of their solid depth guys, with Marquis Daniels, Jarrett Jack, and Rasho all leaving. Granted, none of those are great players, but neither are any of the other guys they have, outside of Granger. And, considering the fact that they've mostly completely failed to really replace those players, it seems we're looking at another season of below-averageness without any real growth. We're way past the point of questioning what the fuck is going on in Indiana, as they've truly failed at building around a very solid player in Granger. TJ Ford is a nice point guard, and Roy Hibbert could be a damn good center, but outside of that, there's not a whole bunch to get excited about in Indiana. On a brighter note, this team has given/will continue to give the world a bunch of jokes about their cracker-dom, so that's nice.

Anyway, I see the Pacers being a decent bit off the playoff race in the East, but not truly horrible. They can be somewhat exciting at times, and I know they got a rep for playing in a lot of close games last year, but they're pretty 'meh'
