Agreed this team was the best Pacer team of Reggie's era, was the only team to beat the Bulls twice during the regular season that year then pushed them to a grueling 7 game series one that Pippen even said after the game that the Bulls were lucky to get out of this series. Pacers would have probably been favorites in the finals that year had they beaten the Bulls. This Pacer team won 58 regular season games which was the most of any Pacer team ever (94-95 team had 52 wins, 99-00 team had 56 wins).
