IDK, I wouldn't sleep on the Pacers. They took the Cavs to 7 and added to their roster. I think the C's can beat them, but they could be a legit #2-#3 in the conference.
I agree. I think Evans was a great get for there roster. I also think people don't realize that Turner is 2 full years younger than Embiid and still improving. Kyle O'Quinn was a really nice get as a backup also. I think they could be very good next year.
I'd put the Pacers up there with anybody outside of Philly, Toronto, or Boston.
I like what they've done with their roster a lot, and they could win 50+ in the regular season. I just don't really fear a team with Oladipo as its only elite scorer. Keep in mind I really like Oladipo, since before he played for the Pacers.
Tyreke Evans averaged near 20 points in 31 minutes last year shooting 40% from 3. Then you get another leap from Turner and that is a pretty decent amount of scoring, no?
Regular season, sure. Doesn't scare me in the playoffs.
I'm with you here. I don't think Indiana is going to be any sort of threat to the C's. I also don't see them winning many more games then they won last year as I think they overachieved and believe teams will start to figure them out.
