Can't wait to see this version of the team.

I expect, at some point, to see the three new guys from Sacto playing together since they are familiar with how each other plays.

This is the perfect match to put Nomadic skills to test.

Spent half the season being a CLECaus.
Now another half season being a Ghost Indiano.

Rooting for two teams while they face each other.
Schizophrenia at its best.

CLECaus: Cari - Kokoro - TweedleDean ´Moble - Afro JA

Garlandas' absence should help IND.
Levert Point Guarding should go beyond helping: should be Pacers life-saver.

But he will be anxious to prove his ex-franchise what a great loss he has been so I smell vengeance.
Let's see if one thing makes up for another.

Goga foiling that alleyoop attempt by Cavs is nice

Brissett putting in the effort so far

Haliburton pushing the ball is a welcome sight


Edit:

Wow, this is so much fun to watch, this team is exciting!

And it's great to see Washington and Jalen Smith getting the opportunity to play

I love how Carlisle has been giving opportunities to the "lower tier" players. What a breathe of fresh air, compared to how Bjorkgren coached the team last season

Ok.

Small sample. Tiny sample. Puny sample.

And yet I adventure an early take.

Indianos have decided to entire re-invent their game.

We went from a Double Big to a Small-ball fu*king Run'n'Gun.
Works like a dream.

Just turned the game on! Go Pacers!!!

Love to see Hali shining! He looks like he got a fire lit under him.

Buddy even with 2 early 3s??? I hope he stays engaged. You could tell he needed a change badly.

Even your bench is pushing the pace.

Jalen Smith looks like a real player as well.

Pacers absolutely crushed the deadline. Every one of your trades looks fantastic.

Awesome start with a 47 point first quarter and a 19 point lead.

If Rick Adelman and Mike D'Antoni are watching this game, I bet they are getting a boner.

Wow, didn't expect Jalen Smith to be a contributor at all

Pacers are suddenly good at identifying and developing young players WTH?

Is this Rick Carlisle?

Bickerstaff's a smart guy: he adjusted and ordered RRondo to control the tempo (Cari has not a clue how to do that).
And yet CLE cannot match the velocity, determination and straight offensive IND's game.

What surprises me the most is the defense.

A bit discombobulated at times but always aggressive, solidary, energetic and tough.
They face guys one head taller than them but they hustle and fight back without fear.

Impressive, so far.

It’s rare for me to say at half only 1 of 9 Pacers struggled and that was Goga.

CLECaus giantball is hard for Centers.
Sabonis suffered it too.

Well, he was the only one who could stand up to Jarrett Allen though

Allen was dunking at will all over everyone with no Goga

Goga does look like at the odd one out, but I think he's still useful

Biggest difference to me is that everyone is playing with a bit of an attitude. In a fun way. Don’t know if it’s Tristan’s addition or Hali, or what. Duarte’s even been strutting a bit in a fun way.
