Indiana Pacers wing Danny Granger would like you to know that he thinks his team is the second best team in the Eastern conference right now, falling only behind only the NBA champion Miami Heat in that particular ranking. At least Danny can concede that Indiana isn’t better than the champs, he’ll give you that. Not better than the team that dumped them in six games last year. How kind and accurate of him.
Still, tell me why he should feel wrong, as you walk away from reading his thoughts. Why should Granger, after a tumultuous and strange NBA offseason, feel any different than this? Talk to me, after taking in Granger’s musings to the Indianapolis Star’s Mike Wells :
