Re: Official NBA Season Thread
I'm such a Pacers fanboy. I'm well aware that we suck, but two last-minute wins -- one of them against the team I hate the most -- and I was already jumping up and down like it was 2000.
The team is doing some nice things on offense that they didn't do last year. Mainly, people are moving without the ball. There was a nice play in the third quarter where they dumped the ball to Jermaine O'Neal, and Jeff Foster cut to the basket for a layup. That would never have happened last year. This pains me to admit, since Rick Carlisle is my favorite coach of all time.
Danny Granger has had an awesome first couple of games. I'm skeptical about whether he'll be able to keep it up, but if he can this team will be a lot better than people (including myself) predicted.
