Thanks for the write up, Tom! One thing I’d like to add is that if Carlisle is playing Shep over Walker and Mathurin, fire him. Players do not develop unless they actually play, and if Carlisle cannot develop them into starting caliber players, he serves no propose as the head coach. The Pacers have zero chance to content of their core is Haliburton, Siakam, and Turner. That is not good enough. Mathurin has to become a starter by year’s end. If not, that is a failure of the coaching staff, which wasn’t particularly good much of last year.
