The Indiana Pacers are 2-2. Victor Oladipo isn’t playing the same way he did last year, Myles Turner isn’t grabbing ‘enough’ rebounds, and the word regression is being thrown around like John Cena when he faced Brock Lesnar at the 2014 SummerSlam.
Perhaps most tragically, the victory song has only been heard twice this season.
But this is hardly the time to panic. At least not yet. The Pacers two losses are explainable even if they aren’t palatable. The wins where over not-so-good teams, but the losses had elements in them can’t be expected to happen every time.
