The Pacers and Knicks tip off preseason action in New York which moves Pacers fans closer to the many answers waiting to be revealed in the regular season.
Don’t expect those answers tonight, though since preseason games rest in the sweet spot between Summer League and regular season action, where you can nod approvingly at any “nice to see” plays, rotations or efforts on the floor, while also wincing, but brushing off any problem spots during the game.
It’s preseason.
But the game within the game, is finding those opportunities to overreact when exposed to the potential answers Rick Carlisle runs out on the floor in his first game.
