They were so close to the NBA finals. So close they could see it. They could feel it. They were packed for it.
But close was as far as the Indiana Pacers would get. At least this year.
On a side note, I wish Paul George would have taken a picture of his suitcase. I was dying to see what his finals wardrobe consisted of. Maybe I can contact his stylist. Or Krissy from the Pacers.
But all is not lost. In fact, nothing was lost during this year’s playoffs. If anything, much was gained.
This has been a process for the Pacers. A three-year process to be exact. And every year, they’ve made it one step farther than the year before. The first year Frank Vogel took over as head coach, the Pacers made the playoffs. The second year, they won a series. This year, it was the Eastern Conference Finals.
Which brings us to next year…and the NBA finals. Why not? Tell them they can’t. Tell them they don’t have the talent, the experience, the mental toughness. It’s what they’re used to...
