Domas must have had a can or two of spinach pre game it seems

Anyone see this drive from Turner earlier? don't think I've ever seen Myles pull this out.

Myles' development of his drive game to complement his shooting is huge. The numbers don't reflect it yet, but he's really taken the next step as an offensive player IMO.

When he starts shooting it like everyone knows he can he is going to be a real problem for defenses.

LOVED the defense last night. Thought we took them out of what they wanted to do. Fun group to watch.

Special shout out to Sumner

In both his starts so far, he was tasked with guarding the opposing team's best player, Curry and Lillard, and he did a pretty good job at it

Yes it was a team effort, but Summer was the first guy Pacers threw at those two elite PGs

Agree his length and athleticism gave those smaller guards problems.

Turner looked much smoother than he used to look. He has added a lot to his game at this point. Of course I'd like to see him do those things to players like Drummond, but there is still hope.

McConnell (AKA New Dad) is just an absolute pest to opponents. Like a mosquito that keeps bugging you and you can't get it to leave you alone. Love it!

Guess I just figure if I don't have anything to say.....I probably shouldn't say it. Or something like that. :lol:

Our team looks freed. #positiveandwinnervibes

Trade hasn't even happened yet and already someone reporting that Victor wants to go to Miami.

Yeah he's gotten way more comfortable driving the ball. Crazy to think when we drafted him he didn't even run right. It's things like this, the improvement that doesn't reflect in any stats, that most non-Pacer fans miss about him.

Development wise from last season, he's really done basically everything he should have to play his role. And I know some people rag on him for the yoga versus focusing on strength training, but what he's been doing seems better for his skillset.
