As good of a team as they may be, the Indiana Pacers had had the tendency to start slow in the season. Last year, they started the season losing even against mediocre teams. That is why despite finishing the season great, they mostly went under the radar as most NBA fans have already looked as a non-exceptional team that is not worth paying attention to.
Now, after making a noise as they made a successful run in the recent playoffs that saw them taking the eventual champions Miami Heat to 7 games before bowing out, the Pacers will have a chance at a great start for a season as they open the year with very winnable games against not-so-good teams.
The First Three Games
On the opening day of the NBA, they play against the Orlando Magic, a team that is laden with young talent but is still in the process of rebuilding and expected to be one of the worse teams for the upcoming season.
Their second game is against the New Orleans Pelicans, another team that is loaded with talented players but is still lacking experience and also considered to be in the process of rebuilding and might want to tank the season to help the cause.
The third game might be tougher as they play against a Cleveland Cavaliers team that made transactions in the off-season that was intended to make them competitive this season.
