At the time of this writing, the Indiana Pacers are 5-7 and have just lost their fourth game in a row. That the 5-7 start feels, what’s the word? Disappointing. It’s good that it feels that way. If I told you three months ago that the Pacers were going to start the year 5-7 you would have likely had one of two reactions.
A – Wait, what! Why are they trying? They’re supposed to be tanking for some nameless 18 year-old that won’t be good in the NBA for another 3-5 years, if ever!
B – 5-7?
