From worse to better, under the radar and recovering their essence. This is how the Indiana Pacers are moving in an NBA season that was supposed to be very interesting for them, but whose first phase plunged their fans into deep dismay. All the pieces seem to be falling into place now in a team clearly on the rise, which could revolutionize the Eastern Conference.
It may seem crazy to consider that in an Eastern Conference with such a powerful duopoly as the one maintained by the Cavs and the Celtics, a strong competitor could emerge, especially not being the Knicks. However, there are compelling reasons to get excited about the progression of the Indiana Pacers who know exactly what they are playing, have regained confidence in themselves, and possess the experience of having played in the Conference finals last year.
They don't need Haliburton's stellar version for their game to flow, something that didn't happen last year, thanks to the good performance of a Mathurin who finds scoring avenues in tight situations, a Siakam who emerges as the great leader on both ends of the court, and a Turner capable of dominating the paint. They are an uncomfortable team for the top favorites, and the fact that they don't feel the pressure to win at all costs can greatly increase their dangerousness. The Indiana Pacers have significant things to say this season.
