I’m pretty sure this isn’t the kind of start Larry Bird and Pacers fans had in mind. Two wins, one against a mediocre Mavericks team and one against a bad Lakers team. Three losses, two of them blowouts against the Bulls and Bucks, and a loss to a Nets team who could end up being the worst in the league. All of these losses and even the wins have shown that the Pacers have turned what used to be their greatest strength into their biggest weakness, defense.
