Where eould the Pacers be ranked if everyone were healthy?

[Imtheman]

I'd say 2nd or 3rd in east.

[colts19]

I would say 3rd at worst.

With the way they played in the playoffs last year it is kind of hard to tell. They seemed like a team that was falling apart.

Honestly, I'd probably say 1st or 2nd...Its hard to say #1 or #2 because ATL and Toronto have excellent records but the Pacers still had a better record through the 1st half of the last season. So its no guarantee they would have repeated that again this year but its definitely feasible.

Now by healthy, I'm mainly talking about PG. George Hill, Watson, West, all missed time but for the most part, West and Watson have been back full time with Watson missing the game the other day. Hill has been in and out. But they're still #1 in defense, #1 in 4th quarter points allowed and I haven't checked recently but I thought we were pretty good in rebounding too.......PG would only help those areas..

Offense has obviously been the problem. But they've been in most games, many of those games I was thinking, if only PG was in. CJ Miles has been playing well lately but I feel he would have been playing well a lot sooner if PG was in the lineup to take pressure off those guys and draw double teams sometimes.

Lot of it was chemistry issues with Lance, even though I liked Lance. Look at whats happened to him in Charlotte, chemistry issues there too. Last year I wasn't always sure who's fault it was but watching the team this year, they share the ball and everybody seems to get along.

Well, all you have left is George and a bunch of role players.

Charlotte overachieved last year.

Thats true but it has nothing to do with Lance..I mean honestly, Miles, Sloan and Stuckey have all combined to replace Lance's production. The chemistry has improved, the defense is still the same, but the offense has gotten worse although it wasn't good to begin with. But I've consistently blamed the offense on Vogel's system.....
