[illWILL8455]

Expectations are high for the Indiana Pacers this season. The heart breaking elimination against the Miami Heat stung, but Pacers are poised to make another run at the playoffs. Their confidence is at an all-time high considering how they gave the eventual NBA Champs everything that they could handle in their series. Indiana is confident that they are ready to take the next step this year

2012 NBA Draft: Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers selected Miles Plumlee out of Duke University with their 1st round pick. Plumlee will look to develop his game while coming off the bench behind Roy Hibbert, David West, and Tyler Hansbrough. The Pacers like the physicality that Plumlee brings to the table and feel as though they can develop him over time so that he can become a solid role player. Plumlee is also from the state of Indiana.



Orlando Johnson was also acquired on draft night. Pacers' management hopes that Johnson will be able to score from distance, while providing defensive toughness. He will likely not see much action behind Paul George, and Lance Stephenson


OFF-SEASON TRADES



The Pacers made one off-season trade. They traded Gerald Green, and Ian Mahinmi to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for DeSagana Diop. Pacers' management stated that the deal was made for financial reasons. They made sure to mention how much they appreciated how hard Green played during his time with the Pacers and that they wished them both the best of luck going forward. Diop will likely not see much action playing behind Roy Hibbert, David West, and Tyler Hansbrough.

BREAKING: Danny Granger guarantees the the Pacers will make it to the NBA Finals



-Following a team shoot around, Danny Granger was asked how he felt about the upcoming NBA season. Granger responded with a very bold statement. He assured all of the reporters of the fact that "The Pacers will be in the finals this year, I guarantee it." Granger continued to make bold claims as the press conference progressed.

"We feel as though we are ready. Simple as that. Last season we ended up losing to a good team. A good team that got great calls. We were also a good team last year, but we got better. That's all I am saying about that, this year it is gonna take a lot more than a few calls to eliminate us. We'll be in the finals. Take that to the bank." Granger finished his interview in dramatic fashion.

"I bet if it was Lebron up here saying this everyone would love it, but because its me up here, y'all will take it wrong. Wonder why we don't have but two nationally televised games this season. We play physical basketball. Nothing flashy and y'all don't like it because it don't get ratings. It's okay though, it's all good. Y'all will have to put us on TV when we march to the finals this year. That's money in the bank."

Granger then stood up, and walked out of the room, despite reporters attempting to ask further questions.

None of the Pacers' management would comment on the event. David Stern issued a statement saying that the he was aware that certain comments were made, and he would act accordingly to address them.
