Frank Vogel’s Pacers endured a roller coaster season where they were able to finish with the top seed in the East. That however wasn’t before when the team went through a terrible slump. It was impossible to miss the Roy Hibbert memes and memes all about the Pacers on the internet and it looked like the Pacers were going to lose to the Atlanta Hawks in round one but they pulled out the win in 7 games.
