The Indiana Pacers are in serious danger of missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2008 and 2009.
Heading into last season, there was disbelief among Indiana Pacers fans that they could possibly miss the playoffs. With the roster they had coming into the season and the strong run the year before, many were hopeful that the Pacers could be strong contenders in the Eastern Conference.
Unfortunately, Indiana ran into some struggles early and was never able to get back on track, and missed the playoffs after losing in the play-in tournament.
