As Bird continues to churn the roster the question now becomes, Ellis or Stuckey?
Larry Bird needs to pick one because he can’t have both. The team doesn’t need two combo guards who need the ball in their hands, who shoot a low percentage from deep, who struggle defensively, and who have injury issues. It’s time to show one, or both, of them the door.
The Pacers are going to be good next year, really good. I have my doubts about whether they’re talented enough to beat the Cavs at this point, but they certainly have an excellent opportunity to at least make the Conference Finals.
