Now we can all be relieved.  This team is no longer has the chance of hindering its long term success by making the playoffs as the 8th seed.  With a disappointing performance against the Wizards.  And why?  Not the return of Agent 0, Not the All-around performance of Antwan Jamison, Not a Streaky Deshawn Stevenson, but Roger Mason.  Roger Mason….let that set in.  Roger Mason puts up 31 points against this team including shooting what seemed to be lights out from the 3 point line. (It was actually only 7-9, only.)  And there go this teams playoff hopes, finally.  I say finally because this team scrapped and held on to the possibility of being a playoff team for much longer than I thought they would.  So long that at some points, I thought they actually might do it.  Luckily for all Pacers fans, Larry Bird and Donnie Walsh, they did not make the playoffs.  Give me the Lottery!!!!  Enough of hanging on to the false hope of the playoffs being the path to an NBA championship.  Don’t get me wrong. It is the path to the title, but not when you have the talent of this Pacers team matched up against a well rested Celtics team with the Big Three.  The Hawks just got beat by 10 basically by the Boston reserves alone.  A quick 4 and out is not nearly as good as what looks to be atleast the 11th pick in the draft.  Again, Give me the Lottery!!!  With some luck, this team might even be able to squeak out a pick in the top 10.  With how deep this draft is, that would be amazing.
