We’re now one game into the Victor Oladipo-less era of the Indiana Pacers, and although things aren’t looking great, they aren’t exactly dire yet.
Indiana traveled to Memphis to play the 20-29 Grizzlies who are better than the 14th spot they currently hold in the Western Conference. If Memphis was in the East I have no doubt they would be a playoff team thanks to the dual threat of Mike Conley and Marc Gasol. This hypothetical Eastern Grizzlies team would probably fall somewhere between the Wizards and Nets.
