Are the new Spurs.
If they don't win it this year, they'll win it next year.
If they don't win it next year, they'll win it the next year.
If they don't win it the next year...
Consistent, loyal team, built the right way.
This team, to me, is the most interesting team in the league, and I think Paul George vs LeBron James is a brooding face-off like the NBA hasn't seen in a looooong time.
Here's the most interesting thought the Pacers team brings up:
The growing super-friends trend in the league has worked only once, on a team featuring arguably the best player of all time, and arguably the best shooting guard of all time. Since James made the move, it has become, it seems, perceptibly, a necessity that players form super-teams.
BUT MAYBE IT DOESN'T WORK.
Maybe the heat are a glorious exception, where egos were put aside for the greater good, and it simply isn't the right way to build a team.
The Pacers certainly seem to make a point for the organic growth argument, and may mark a shift away from this super-team trend of recent years, back to loyalty and, well, "team".
I hope so.
I'm rooting for them, and I think they are strong, strong candidates to win it all.
(This is me trying very hard not to make an overly strong statement. Fuck it, Pacers win 2013-2014).
