i dont care what anyone says...
Indiana Was a GREAT team with great coaching and management,but bad luck.
Now - Indiana is a GOOD team, with Great coaching/Mgt, and persisting poor luck...
last year they STARTED the season with 11 unhealthy players,as well as the constant set of playoff misfortune...(and artest)
Indiana isnt going away anytime soon -- they will remain a playoff force, able to sneak up on ANY team in the east -- if you think any differently - your nuts.
