Renowned Russian commentator and expert **[Vladimir Gomelsky](#)** shared his insights on the prospects of the Indiana Pacers for the upcoming season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Last season, Indiana reached the finals but lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

**– Are there reasons to believe that Indiana won’t be able to excel offensively for a second consecutive season due to their fast-paced style, and that opponents will find ways to adjust?**
– Eventually, opponents will adapt to any strategy. Furthermore, the absence of Tyrese Haliburton will slow down the transition from defense to offense. I anticipate that Indiana will achieve around 46-48 wins, but they certainly won’t make it to the Eastern Conference finals, – Gomelsky expressed on his official website.
