Are the Indiana Pacers good? Yes. Are they great? Eh, maybe not.
The last few weeks have seen the Pacers bounce between looking like an absolute fraud while at other times looking pretty damn good. A rough December that included a 3-game losing streak exposed a few issues with Indiana, but they still remain as one of the tougher outs in the NBA, and especially in the Eastern Conference.
With wins over the Minnesota Timberwolves and Atlanta Hawks, the Pacers are building a win streak once again. But that came after that rough stretch before Christmas.
