The Pacers are in New York on Tuesday night to play the Knicks in the first of back-to-back games with the Nets waiting at the Fieldhouse on Wednesday.
The two games tip off a 10-game stretch that would be a struggle regardless of how healthy the Pacers were or even if they had been playing at a high level. Unfortunately, good health and high-level play have been sparse for the Pacers.
So, with that in mind, brace yourself for the next stretch of the schedule which hopefully will provide some nice surprises along they way and a chance for the current Pacers to exceed the diminished expectations.
