Should the Pacers slow the tempo down on offense to help their defense?
THE `BURBS - The Pacers want to play with a lot of intensity on both ends of the court this season.
In order to do that, though, they're going to need to be able to use their bench.
Coach Jim O'Brien would ideally like to have a 10-man rotation this season.
