Pacers Power Ranking is Rank

Marc Stein unveiled his first NBA power ranking of the year on ESPN.com. I was prepared to scroll down to find the Pacers, but the seeing the P logo at number 29 was like a swift kick to the family jewels. Here' what he had to say.

I have to disagree with regard to the broader picture for the Pacers. They may very well finish worse than they did a year ago, but that doesn't mean things within the organization are worse. There is a transition in philosophy going on and to me, rebuilding the team's foundation is indeed, moving in the right direction.
