Not saying that the playoffs are a real possibility….but these next 3 games are very very winnable, and 2 against Chicago is a big jump in the standings…..just sayin………………………

It's more like,

If we feel there’s even the slightest chance left alive the playoffs are a possibility, they HAVE to win these next three. One loss to Chicago in these next three will be the final nail in the coffin. 4.5 out with 10 to go and, what…four teams to pass?

Only other chance the Pacers would have is if Detroit continues to fall off the face of the earth from here. And despite Detroit failing magnificently, I’m not going to bet on them winning less than four games down the stretch.

With all these knee injuries – Dunleavy, Granger, Daniels, Murphy, I remember early on in O’Brien’s tenure stories on the coaching style, and one of them was the training, no one trained them more and even on game days, actual proper training and not just shootarounds…

Could there be connection between this high-intensity training and these knee injuries? They are wear injuries these players have been receiving, and they’re the guys called upon to play some very heavy minutes from time to time…

Something I just wondered to myself, anyway…
