With the NBA All-Star weekend upon us, it seems like a good time to take a look back to the preseason and evaluate the IC preview and predictions for the Pacers season.
Spoiler alert: They were a bit off.
Well, the win total predictions were off, but the worst case scenario wasn’t too far off. Even the ‘best case scenario’ came with qualifiers, including the word healthy — twice — in the first sentence, so this was always going to be a season in transition even at its best. And as for health concerns, the Pacers are 60 games in and have yet to be healthy, so their best case scenario never had a chance.
