Jaylen brown doubtful to play tomorrow due to back spasms. Tony — could you please use your platform to remind your viewers to vote pascal for all-star? he deserves it so much, I want him to have one good thing this season after giving it his all every single night like he has been.
@TonyEast with the recent rumors coming out that Atlanta is open to trading Okongwu is there a package the Pacers could offer to land him and would he be a fit for our starting center?
That guy on the Celtics must have knocked the hell out of I Jax, now here we go again.
Maybe Nemby has taken a step forward? Imagine a better Andrew Nembhard when Tyrese comes back next year 🏀
I think pacers should roll with their current centers and resign mathurin. Turner isn't that much of a upgrade over Huff. Haliburton made turner look good. He will do the same with any of the 3 centers
Winning with Pascal having a bad night is huge. Or at least bad for Pascal.
Still hanging out on Q Island but glancing over at Sheppard Island again. Q makes mistakes but disrupts the other team. Shep makes them doing what they want harder. If they can be more like each other.
I hope they keep Walker. He has been making some really good plays and was one board from a double double. He should definitely be getting more minutes than Sheppard.
Clippers and Mavs are bad and will want under the tax. How they get under will be interesting trades?

I feel like Carslie has been pulling out Siakam and TJ if they haven't been productive with enough time to come back from any losses. Additionally Nemhard has been incredibly productive which probably account for the wins in of itself. I have no data to support this so just believe me lol😂 Also help defense looks so much better. We'll hope the trend continues!
I was surprised by the Siakam at center against Miami start as well. Even though I figured he’d end up guarding Bam anyways. But I imagine that Furphy and Siakam combo is kind of what they thought they would be doing with like an Obi and Siakam pairing when going small ball. But of course Obi broke his foot 3 games in.
If you question whether Walker will have a role next year with the current roster, imagine what drafting Dybantsa or Wilson would do to the rotation.
Q in the starting lineup makes a big difference in what we are capable of doing on defense as well as offense where he is setting up some wonderful assist
