Indiana is off to another hot start this season, but after last season i have to see them play at this level longer before im a believer.  Danny Granger is a flat out stud however.

What do you guys think?

The Pacers did a lot to improve the defense in the offseason, the Pacers must improve their rebounding this season. TJ Ford is still one of the quicker point guards when healthy but his lack of size hurts them on the defensive end. The loss of Jarrett Jack and Marquis Daniels leaves a void on the offensive end that will be hard for them to fill with Mike Dunleavy still not able to contribute. Roy Hibbert has looked impressive in preseason and if he continues his strong play during the regular season the Pacers will have a shot at making the playoffs.

Key Additions: Dahntay Jones, Tyler Hansbrough, Earl Watson, A.J. Price, Luther Head

Key Subtractions: Jamaal Tinsley, Jarrett Jack, Marquis Daniels, Maceo Baston, Rasho Nesterovic

Projected Starting Lineup: TJ Ford/ Dahntay Jones/ Danny Granger/ Troy Murphy/ Roy Hibbert

Key Reserves: Brandon Rush, Mike Dunleavy, Jeff Foster, Josh McRoberts, Earl Watson, Tyler Hansbrough
