The Indiana Pacers had yet another unsuccessful season. The team will miss the playoffs, as their current record stands 25-50, with only 7 games left to play. It was not a good season to digest for the Pacers fans. Indiana’s worst record was 20-62 in the 1982-83 season.
And yet the last 7 games are against contenders like the Sixers, the Nets, and the Celtics.
Though the players are averaging pretty decent numbers, their defense let them down this season. There are 9 players averaging in double digits. Myles Turner, Pacer’s best rim protector, hasn’t been playing since January this year. And as of now, Turner has almost fully recovered, but he will not return this season.
