The Indiana Pacers might be the 12th best team in the NBA. Or the 10th worst — 20th overall, for those not wanting to do the math.

With losses to the Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors — in particularly ugly fashion — it is easy to doubt whether this team is even in the middle of the road.
