Pacers’ Win-Now Window Is Narrow | Indiana Pacers News

The Indiana Pacers are back with the same core squad that pushed deep into the playoffs last year, bolstered by smart additions like Ivica Zubac and Kelly Oubre — but this is a win-now team with no room for error. With a brutal Eastern Conference stacked with elite contenders like the Sixers, Knicks, Celtics, and Hawks, they can’t afford a slow start. Historically, only three teams have won titles without being a top-three seed — and the last one was the 1995 Rockets. Without a superstar or elite depth, the Pacers’ only edge? Home-court advantage. Their “gap year” is over — this season’s all about hitting the ground running and playing at maximum intensity from day one.
