Pacers are pretenders. On track for a bottom 10 defense in NBA history and very poor rebounding team. Not gonna be able to last playing that way.

counterpoint: everyone scores a lot and it’s fun to watch

Someone called them the "Glass Cannon build" the other night, and I laughed for a while

False. If the best defense is a good offense, actually the Pacers have the BEST defense. Checkmate nerds!

All they need to do is just outscore their opponents. If they just put up 160 every game, they'll win most their games.

it gets exposed hard in the playoffs though

They need another good PF so badly. Buddy Hield and Aaron Nesmith are out here guarding 6'9" 250 players. Jarace Walker won't get there this year

Maybe they’ll be in the market for John Collins

Pretenders to what? They're like the 6th best team in the East and in the middle of a rebuild.

That seems about right.
