The Pacers have rebuilt in a big way on the fly once more by adding several veteran, old heads to help support Paul George and second-year big man, Myles Turner. Larry Bird put Nate McMillan in charge to put a style of play in place that will push the pace and generate more offense, despite McMillan’s past history of coaching more methodical teams that were efficiency offensively, but slow. McMillan maintains that what worked in the past was dictated by his teams and that the game and this team are vastly different now.
