Was good to see David Morway today. He's assistant GM in Utah. He was the GM with the Pacers while I was up there with the AP in Indianapolis. Great man.

How about the series Myles Turner is having?

Cavs crowd chants when LeBron James is at foul line show they're big fans of faded cable network MTV.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Pacers' passing has been Tim Tebow-esque in its accuracy.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Remember that four-minute stretch to start the second quarter: LeBron James resting, Victor Oladipo back after sitting nearly all the first period with two fouls, and Pacers only sliced four points off the deficit in that time.

Nate McMillan to TNT in between-quarters interview: "We've got to take a deep breath."

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

@pjjacobson Thanks, Paul.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Fun with numbers: LeBron James on pace for 128 points if he plays all 48.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Tonight's Cleveland starting lineup: zero minutes together, regular season or postseason! Pacers' five: 718 minutes from October to now.

Chris Goff is back! https://t.co/AGYqCPARkM

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Those are astute observations on your part. The bench has been a problem every year under Vogel. @FranPo31

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

@Franpro31 I figured McMillan would be a huge boost in terms of basketball knowledge, but offense isn't showing effect yet.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

That's scheme/Xs and Os, though, not talent deficiency. RT @ZachGilliam777: @PacersScribe why just bench. Offense in General is the issue.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Barnes has not been a solid player this year. RT @Bpolbito99: @PacersScribe or trade scola and danny for one solid player. Harrison barnes?

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Right. RT @Franpro31: @PacersScribe the plan is for Danny to get his rhythm and help in the chase for the title. Butler cant

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Solomon Hill to start season? Really? RT @k_lewis93: @PacersScribe problem is (Vogel) wont use (Copeland) and I have yet to figure out why.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Year before that, too. RT @ohtmitch: @PacersScribe I agree. I think last years bench woes have engrained a sense of unease into me.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

Goosefraba! RT @MMuncy: @PacersScribe everyone forgets Danny has only been back about two months. Got to give him a little more time.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

@SmiFF620 @k_lewis93 That's the tradeoff, but Chris struggled in New York. Larry Bird knew D a weakness. Nothing new.

[Chris Goff @PacersScribe]

That said, Rasual Butler's numbers would regress to mean with more exposure. He's only an average shooter.
