Eight weeks ago, Kevin Pritchard was shown to the Indiana Pacers’ center stage. A legend had just flapped his wings and fluttered away, the spotlight was Pritchard’s alone. His task was clear, build a roster so compelling that Indiana’s All-sStar, Paul George, would want to stay and finish his career in blue and gold.
Two weeks ago, George snuck up behind Pritchard- like Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber but switch Daniel’s powder blue suit for one of gold and purple- and cracked him in the back of his knees with a walking cane. George then trotted away aiming west.
