The Indiana Pacers are disappointing this season, but at 16-18 and a half-game out of the Eastern Conference’s 8th seed, they aren’t exactly bad either.
They are a paradox. Paul George is closing out games like never before, but the team as a whole can’t shoot in fourth quarters.
They are inconsistent. There is a huge divide in the way they play in their wins and losses. In wins, they look like one of the NBA’s better teams, but in losses, hardly anyone looks worse than Indiana does.
