It's gonna suck something fierce. The Pacers scratched and clawed their way back to respectability... and then became the most unpopular franchise last season because they fell apart and didn't take responisbility. Most teams in the Eastern Conference got better; the Pacers got worse.
I want them to do well, though a championship isn't likely now (or perhaps ever
), but a part of me will always be screaming for them to tank, even though I know it's wrong for a fan to want their team to do horribly.
