This is the best time of the year

It was not my intention to Use Your Illusion II-you but I’m a graduate of the same high school as W. Axl Rose, we both love Arni’s pizza, things bloated, art got out of hand.

Save for the rebounding. And the fouling. They’ll figure that out with the next rotation.

For now, Tyrese Haliburton flicks three-pointers like he’s practicing free throws, Benedict Mathurin brims with a season’s worth of certainty picking on second-string defenders, and Jordan Nwora might be a thing? Rick Carlisle certainly encourages the new addition to hang loose.

Myles Turner (40 percent on threes) is 26. A late-20s maxed-out Myles Turner and early-20s Mathurin plus perfect-prime Tyrese Haliburton can compete for a title. In the years before that, the Pacers need Jalen Smith to play well against teams that aren’t the Orlando Magic.
