20 Points O'brien Claim Edge With Season

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It wasn't the homecoming he would have liked but win or lose these days Indiana coach Frank Vogel has made Pacers basketball relevant again. Vogel, who grew up in Wildwood Crest, a Jersey shore town about 70 miles southeast of Philadelphia, brought his club into the City of Brotherly Love on Monday and came up a little short against a Sixers team that, much like his own, is one of the most improved in the Eastern Conference.

 

Collins is hardly the only one that has been impressed by what Vogel has put together in Indy. The coach, who once idolized former Sixers great Maurice Cheeks as a child, has taken the latest club that revolted against Jim O'Brien and quickly turned it from lottery team to playoff contender to postseason gimmee.

 

"It's just surreal," Vogel said before the game about returning to Philadelphia. "I pinch myself on a daily basis that I'm even doing this. I keep it all in perspective and try to do the best I can. I believe in my ability to do this job at a high level."

 

Vogel, an early '90s Wildwood High School graduate that once appeared on David Letterman's Stupid Human Tricks as an 8th grader, had already coached the Pacers in Newark against the Nets and in Madison Square Garden against the Knicks but Monday was the first time he reached Philly as an NBA head coach. He brought along about 20 friends and family members to mark the occasion.

 

"I want expectations," Vogel said. "I want them having the bar set high. This team is capable. We've got pieces in place to do some really special things, to take this league by storm."

 

It's almost hard to understand how an affable coach like Vogel sat under O'Brien's learning tree. But that's the thing about Vogel, he's a pragmatist. He saw how far O'Brien's my way or the highway approach got and shifted gears. At the same time he soaked in the tortured genius' basketball acumen and incorporated that into his repertoire.
