I’m similar on the Pacers. I quit watching due to their refusal to rebuild. It was obvious they were content being middle of the road. I have no interest in that. I’ve started to pay attention a little more since the Sabonis / Haliburton trade.
Ballard’s Colts are starting to remind me a little of those Pacers teams I hated. The risk aversion is maddening to me. I enjoy following and rooting for rebuilding teams as well as top level teams. Swing and miss and I’m fine. Strike out and never take a swing and I’m pissed. It’s the mediocre teams where I see little future that frustrate me. And that’s what the Colts are right now. Irsay is the saving grace though. I believe he wants titles not just “good” teams. That was not the case with the Simons.
