O'Brien upbeat about team's depth, commitment

Seven new faces. Many more committed players. More depth. Reliability at point guard.

It was a summer of change for the Indiana Pacers, who report to work Monday hoping for a fresh beginning in the upcoming season.


"It's a function of wanting to be an Indiana Pacer," coach Jim O'Brien said. "These guys were willing to sacrifice their summer to get themselves in condition in order to play the type of basketball we're going to play. I just think we have a great attitude going into this year. I don't think we could have asked for a better group of people to start the year with."

Jack to battle for starting spot? Really? Who would start over Murphy? That is unless they plan on bringing in another PF. Haslem? Martin? Looks like the "Rush should start" comments will end. He's a rookie. With proven players playing the same position. Good to here the teams commitment this offseason. But like any article involving the Pacers it couldn't end without end without reminding us Tinsley still is a Pacer.

Only a severe case of sinusitis could keep T.J. Ford out of the starting lineup.

I'm seriously upset about the no love factor towards Diener.
