INDIANAPOLIS -- Nate McMillan learned a lot the last three seasons as an Indiana Pacers assistant. Nike Air Force 1 Australia .Working with a more mature team and established leaders, McMillan shed the drill-sergeant label he earned in Seattle and Portland. Working with a defensive-minded team, he found it to be OK to loosen up the reins on offense. And because he wasnt the head coach, McMillan had time to rethink his coaching philosophies.All the new Indiana coach has to do now is stay true to those lessons and keep winning.What we have to do this year, including me, is reinvent ourselves, McMillan said. The style of play has changed and a lot of teams have gone small ball. I think Golden State and Memphis really changed the way people developed their teams. You saw, not long ago, it was big versus small. Small won.Now everyone is trying to adapt.A year ago, Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird promised fans a faster, more entertaining style of basketball. Instead, it got scrapped because Indiana didnt have enough pieces to make it work consistently. Indiana made a first-round playoff exit and Bird hired McMillan to replace Frank Vogel.Bird continued the transition this offseason, acquiring point guard Jeff Teague and power forward Thaddeus Young in trades and signing free agent center Al Jefferson to go with three-time All-Star Paul George and budding second-year center Myles Turner.And suddenly, the future looks bright.I think its back, George said when asked about the Pacers title hopes. Having David (West) and having Roy (Hibbert), that was a great unit. I dont want to jump the gun and say this is the best team Ive played on, but it certainly could be.McMillan just has to find a way to embrace the new style and win games in ways most people never envisioned in his first two head coaching stops.This is a different team. We have a lot of guys in their prime and I hope we have a lot of hungry guys, McMillan said. I think they want to be part of a winner and, hopefully, they want to win big.Here are some other things to watch for from the Pacers:RATED PGIn his first full season back from a broken leg, George led the Pacers in scoring (23.1 points), was second in rebounding (7.0) and third in assists (4.1). He was even better in the playoff (27.3 points, 7.6 rebounds) despite acknowledging he wasnt completely healthy. How much better can George be this season?Ive always kind of seen myself at that next (elite) level of talent, and I think this is really my first opportunity to prove Im the best player on the court every night, he said.BACK HOME AGAINTeague returns to his hometown, and the former All-Star is a more natural point guard than his predecessor (George Hill). Teague also is quicker and better at getting to the basket than Hill, all of which will help smooth the transition. But without Hill, the Pacers lose a versatile defender. Teagues contract also expires at the end of the season.TURNERS TURNTurners rookie season was first slowed by an injury, then by his inability to crack the starting lineup until midseason. Yet the 6-foot-11, 20-year-old showed so much promise that the Pacers wasted no time naming him the starting center, and they expect the progression to continue this season.My approach didnt change, the quality of my work changed, Turner said of his offseason. I was really able to hone in on what I wanted to work on.SHOOTING STARSThe biggest question is whether the Pacers have enough 3-point shooters to make the spread offense work. Bird and McMillan discount those criticisms, figuring Teague, George, Monta Ellis, Rodney Stuckey, C.J. Miles and potentially Turner can all shoot 3s.BUSY FIRST WEEKThe Pacers are busy right away: The opener comes at home Oct. 26 against Dallas, followed by back-to-back road games against Brooklyn (Oct. 28) and Chicago (Oct. 29). Nike Air Force 1 Mens . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. Nike Presto Off White . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. http://www.airforceoneshoesaustralia.com/nike-air-vapormax-australia/vapormax-anti-fur.html . At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.Rory McIlroy’s hopes of defending his Wells Fargo Championship title were kept alive with a monster birdie late in his third round at Quail Hollow. The world No 3 had little to cheer about during a disappointing moving Saturday, but brought a huge roar from those around the 17th green with a remarkable birdie putt.Heading to the penultimate hole two-over for the day and nine shots off the pace, McIlroys tee shot found the dancefloor but landed some 80 feet from the pin. McIlroy carded five birdies, four bogeys and one double-bogey in his round MMcIlroy then guided his long-range putt a long way left of the flag but watched it break and catch the slope, seeing his ball roll in off the right-edge of the cup. Balenciaga Speed Trainer Triple Black. That birdie-two helped McIlroy close a one-over 73 and get back in to red figures for the week, although still leaves him a long way from the top of the leaderboard.Click on the video at the top of the page to see McIlroys putt for yourself!
