Welcome!

The Pacers board just grew by an estimated 25% with your arrival. :-p

I'm kidding...its slowly getting more active here. Hopefully the trend continues.

Been a while since I've been here on a game thread. Is "tradition" not a thing anymore?

I forget who it was that did the tradition.

Bring it back?

I'm kind of weirdly excited to see Darren Collison again. Don't ask me why.

Ohh right Carroll starts for them, we got this :lol:

Victory Oladipo drew a pretty big applause from the crowd when he was introduced.

Let's hope no one gets hurt like Hayward made me sick.

On pace for 40, granted we are only about halfway through Q1.

Oladipo and Collison have been great.

Really hating our defense right now though.

Vic looks good, that guy can turn on the jets and burn down the floor!

Turner and Oladipo off to good starts. Curious to see who gets minutes off the bench.

Myles Turner with that monster dunk.
