Pacers lost last night, though the only starter to play over 30 minutes was Brogdon.

Feel like we always lose to the pacers. Especially at home

I feel like Indiana is better than its record. Hopefully we're not going in overconfident. Hopefully a Monday crowd can bring some energy.

Brogdon always finds a way to hit a big shot on us.

Feels like our game to lose. The high from the 76ers win should be a nice little momentum boost.

I heard Vanderbilt and McD might not play flu-like symptoms.

That would really, really hurt. Against the combo of Turner and Sabonis we would basically have KAT, Reid, Knight, and Prince as our only size.

Update: Turner has a non Covid illness and is also questionable. Could make a huge difference if one or both of the above Wolves do not play.

Looking at schedule, there isn't a single gimme game in the next 15 games or so

Frankly, I don't think we are good enough yet to consider any game a gimmie. We need a lot more consistency.

He'll be 29 next week. This is his 6th NBA season.

He was in college for 5 years (injury redshirted his sophomore season), so he turned 24 during his rookie year.

when I said gimme, I meant more like matches against teams that are tanking or in bottom3...not that Wolves would be guaranteed to win but atleast they would be heavy favorites.

Might actually be exactly what this group needs to keep them engaged.

I'm here for the Nathan Knight Show!

Keep in mind, Knight and Bolmaro have a good connection forming from training camp and Iowa.

All I can say is KAT and Reid better be ultra conservative on defense and the boards. Foul trouble in a game without V8 and MCD might see Ant play the 5 before the night is over.

This should be a game where Knight gets some significant rotation minutes. It's actually a good game to use Knight since the Pacers play with a lot of size (Turner/Sabonis), and Knight is one of the few guys on the roster big/strong enough to matchup with them.
