Team has done well without Wall. Now we will shortly get to see his reintegration into the team (maybe next week?). Should be interesting. I expect a few losses as they get used to each other again.
But in the end, this may have been the best thing for them, long term. They have learned a totally different style of play (assist ratio is sickeningly good now), and it needs to stick. If so, they are a real threat in the east.
It will -- as always -- come down to matchups. Only Toronto looks better right now, so...we will see. Getting the 3rd seed would be huge for them, but it wont be easy. Pacers are playing really really well
