In 2015, the Indiana Pacers also saw what life might be like without their franchise player, Paul George. Change defined the Pacers in 2015 and while certain storylines are still in progress, such as the emergence of C.J. Miles as a sharpshooter, the only thing for sure about the previous year was change, for better or for worse.
We saw the Pacers rebuild the team quicker than expected as they are currently in 7th place in the Eastern Conference, but only trail the first place Cleveland Cavaliers by four games. The fact all of these changes happened and the team looks to be in great shape going forward caught many people (including us at 8 Points, 9 Seconds) off guard, but should be a testament to Larry Bird’s prowess as the team’s president.
