Bojan's return!

This team is just so good and so very well coached.

With half the team in street clothes and we barely lost a game during that stretch.

Now, we're finally seeing what we're capable of when healthy, and just wait until we get Dipo back.

I haven't been so excited and proud of this team in years.

BTW, did anyone see Turner's post game interview? Seems like he was down and disappointed, but maybe that's just me?

Oh, and great to be back, I'll be here all season again (God willing).

Love this team!

Pacers

This has the be the best offseason the Pacers ever had right? All these players delivering and exceeding expectations.

Props to KP and his team, I have spoken too soon.

Didn't see postgame as we were driving home. Turner didn't score at all in the first half if I remember right. He sat more than normal. Some foul trouble but also Jazz were small except for Gobert and Rudy was out often.

Did it sound like he was mad at himself or the coaches?

Not mad, just sort of down in general.

I don't know, maybe I'm making too much of it, but just his body language didn't look that good after such a big win.

Just looks tired to me.

Team hasn't played in 4 days and he only played 24 minutes. Guessing it had more to do with him only getting 6 shots and playing fewer minutes than any of the other starters.

You may be right about that. He needs to find ways other than blocking shots to contribute. His last three games, his rebounding numbers are 4, 4, & 5. That needs to improve. Maybe he is having a problem adjusting to playing with more capable 'mates. The guys around him this year are all more capable at scoring, rebounding, passing and defense than in previous years. These guys all seem to have a better feel for the game, which should help him be effective, but I'm not sure that is happening. It sometimes looks like he is trying to play catch-up to match their levels?

Adjusting to playing more outside?
