Gotta get Boucher going for the sake of the bench. Sub him in early and give him some extended run. He’s basically out of the rotation right now.

we just need to shut down paul george and jamal tinsley and we're good

Hopefully this game will get Boucher out of the doghouse.

Pacers have a poor record but they have actually played very competitive games
1 pt loss to the Hornets
1 pt loss to Wizards
10 pt loss to Bucks

They are a much better team than their record. Sabonis is gonna give us trouble down low and Turner is going to hurt our already weak rim scoring. Again, we need to get out in transition, our team can't afford to play slow.

It'll be really interesting to see how we match up against Sabonis / Turner

I'm hopeful we can get a W but wouldn't be surprised with an L

Birch has been crap for 3/4 games and Boucher is more of a PF. We need him to play like he did last season.

Flynn should get some playing time. Nurse is treating him with kid gloves for some reason.

Early season experience can pay off too as the season progresses.

We’ve been ignoring offence for years. Surprised we’re not dead last in all categories.

Flynn's been wildly inconsistent as a pro - he couldn't even string together solid outings at the Summer League. He'll get another shot at some point, but I think Nurse is justified in not trusting him within the current framework/state of the roster.

It's mostly the first game (in which we shot 31/21/73 and scored 83 points on 39 TS%) that is dragging our numbers down. We scored 115 on 53 TS% against the Celtics, 95 on 50 TS% against the Mavs and 108 on 59 TS% against the Bulls. We'd be ~20th in those three categories if our first game wasn't what may arguably be our ugliest offensive game by the end of the year.
