They will get out of the blocks quickly, playing lots of different players, and flying under the radar. As the season progresses you'll see a different team evolve.
Opening Night: Ford, Dunleavey, Granger, Murphy, Foster
There will be trades made mid-season including Williams and Daniels, assuming they haven't been traded by opening night.
To Preserve the legs of the aging Foster, his minutes will go from starter to backup, and Hibbert will be moved into the middle. That change will take speed out of the front court, so to compensate Baston will start in place of Murphy. Dunleavey will continue to have stamina problems, so the three man rotation on the wings will give way to Rush as a starter.
Febuary 1 : Ford, Rush, Granger, Baston, Hibbert
Pacers make the playoffs, but lose in the first round gaining nothing but respect, and some huge experience.
Rush can't start over Dunleavy. Baston will never be a starter. Hibbert is still not ready. I prefer Murphy at PF, his a 11/8 or 12/9 guy which is good, the only thing people see bad to him is because his contract.
