Pacers will wear their new "association" jerseys, aka the white ones.

What do you guys think of the jerseys?

Tough on a back to back, but we can win this.

Hope we see some sharper shot selection and continue to run the floor hard, and throw the ball around to spread their D.

I cant wait to see more of TJ Leaf. He looked real good last night. Very promising.

Scott Agness says on twitter the Pacers didn't land in Miami until 430am.

This is gonna be a blow out.

I actually feel a lot better knowing Whiteside is out. He always destroys us on the boards. This is winnable if we just shoot a little better from 3.

I honestly really like them, they seem so much better fitting too. Also, they could have rolled out potato sacks and it would have been a welcomed change. All that being said, it was a bold design but really translates well on the floor.

Yikes. Oladipo just got put on a poster.

I can't wait to see Turner and Sabonis play more together.

Sabonis is a beast!

Jermainevent · Post #11 » by **Jermainevent** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 12:24 am

Sabonis is the real deal, could be a steal when it's all and done.

I think he's going to be really good. My guess is the George trade will look much better in a couple of years. Still should have gotten their draft pick (Ferguson), but won't appear as lopsided.

Sabonis is looking to make up for yesterday's tepid performance. He's locked in right now. He should be able to eat Mickey's lunch.

I wish Jefferson wasn't such a minus on defense. He's got good skill offensively.

Yeah, he looks a little lighter on his feet losing all that weight, but he's still pretty immobile on defense. Even when he was younger he wasn't much of the defensive side of court either.

Bench looking good.

Jermainevent · Post #17 » by **Jermainevent** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 12:46 am

TJ Leaf for 3!

MUpacersSIC · Post #18 » by **MUpacersSIC** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 12:46 am

I like Leaf's offensive game.

Sabonis 4th foul. Yikes.

Domas needs a bit more composure. I think he's taking this duel against Olynyk personally because of the Gonzaga connection.
