I'd be surprised if Indiana didn't make the playoffs. Is there any chance Hali makes it back if so?

People will learn soon about AJ Mitchell. Another Thunder gem.

It's not even a question if they make the playoffs. Of course they are. they are just missing Hali. They just won't have the championship ceiling.

I don't think there's any chance, no. Officially, at least, he's listed out for the season.

Losing Turner is big for the regular season, too. There are plenty of people in the predictions thread here that had the Pacers as a play in team this year. I think they comfortably finish top six.

Based on what I’ve seen tonight, Ben Sheppard could find himself in Most Improved Player conversations.

Gotta give it to the Pacers they won't go away

This game shows how deep the Pacers roster is and Rick Carlisle and his staff are really good at player development.

Turner's impact isn't all that great. He isn't a post player. He isn't paint protector. Yes he's a stretch 5. That's his only value.

Rick out mastered Spo for me last season , he must be clear no1 HC in the league, at least that’s my feeling

Dort with a massive flop. This OKC team has no shame.

Patches Perry · Post #98 » by **Patches Perry** » Fri Oct 24, 2025 1:56 am

This is a great game

Ok pacer fans, that’s was a crap call.

Nesmith fouling out against OKC. Name a better duo.

Who wins?
