We know the Pacers are going to score, right?
They gave every indication of that in the preseason when they averaged 107.2 points. Sure, it was just the preseason, when players assured of a spot on the team tend to give less than their best effort – especially on defense – but they also played their entire starting five in just two games, and only for about 30 minutes in each of those.
All of the major moves in the off-season was made for the cause of offense. Jeff Teague, Thad Young, Aaron Brooks and Al Jefferson weren't brought in to lock down anyone, they are here to help put up points.
