The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled, The Pacers Are Winning The Championship This Year

The planets have aligned, the power of the cosmos have been unlocked, the Pacers are officially winning an NBA title this year. In order to harness this black magic the Pacers had to crawl through 500 yards of shit. The NBA had to allow players to wear 00*, both of Indy's back up centers had to go down with torn Achilles injuries, lose to the Pelicans and Raptors, bring in some guy named Moses Brown, cut Moses Brown, get called the worst body language team in the NBA (not sure how the fuck that's measured), trade with Miami for former Hoosier Thomas Bryant, AND finally have Myles Turner sit out with calf soreness so that Thomas Bryant could get the start against the Bulls thus arranging in lowest possible numeric value a force that will tear unsuspecting NBA teams apart. 

* The first NBA player to wear 00 was Robert Parish in 1976. Some people hate 0 or 00 being a jersey #, but I loved Gilbert Arenas being called agent zero for wearing, so I have no problem with two zeros on a jersey. 

After a rough start to the season, it looks like the Pacers are back on track. Haliburton is playing like a super star again, Nembhard is healthy and showing how important he was to the starting line up, the bench players are going back to playing their actual positions, and the young guys aren't being asked to carry the team with a ton of minutes. It's actually fun to watch this team and not a chore that you dread. My only complaint is that no one watches the NBA anymore so no one will see the Pacers be crowned champs at the end of the season. Sad, but I'll see you all at the title parade in Indy.
