The 7-8 Detroit Pistons have a better record than the Indiana Pacers. At 6-8, losing to teams without their star players and Tyrese Haliburton having a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde season plays a role in the twisted reality in which the Pacers exist. On Monday, vs. the 2-12 Toronto Raptors, the Pacers can be above the mediocrity of the Eastern Conference or the shining example.
Following years of chasing the championship high of 2019, the Raptors finally accepted the rebuild era. However, the Pacers exist in an inverted reality. Indiana's playoff journey began last season, and it doesn't plan to abort the mission for gold prematurely.
With injuries to Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley, the Pacers must strike when the iron is hot—unlike the 94-90 loss to the Paolo Banchero-less Orlando Magic on Nov. 13.
After Myles Turner's revealing postgame comments following Sunday's 119-110 victory over the Miami Heat, perhaps the Pacers can now all look in the mirror and see that the rough start to the season isn't them. Unless the unfamiliar image in the mirror has consumed them
