The Pacers were 32-50 last season and I see reasons for optimism finally. Danny Granger, Darren Collison and possibly Roy Hibbert give the Pacers a trio of players who could make big impacts. But the rest of the roster is pretty bad so the Pacers will have to ride that trio to improve this year. I would side on taking the under for Pacers’ wins in 2010-11 but it will be close. The Pacers are 200-1 to win the NBA Championship and I would keep my money in my pocket on that one.

The Pacers appear to be a lot deeper than they have been in the past.  But, the Eastern Conference is getting tougher.  Still, for some reason I like the Pacers to finish around .500 this season.  So I would make a small bet on the over if I had to make a call on the Pacers for 2009-2010.
