If anything, the weekend games in Chicago reiterated the Pacers' depth and, indirectly, their dilemma. Not that coach Nate McMillan necessarily sees it as a problem, but it can be for the players.
"You can't play 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 guys," McMillan said following Sunday's practice at St. Vincent Center.
No, you can't, which is why McMillan has grown a little tired of answering questions about the details of the depth dumped on him by the Pacers' front office – a multitude of options that leaves first-round draft picks out of the playing rotation, has third-strong point guards in the starting lineup and has players normally out of the rotation making contributions when suddenly called upon to start.
