My favorite non-Hali-return adjacent observation from that half of ball is that Siakam is out there arguing calls in a preseason game. His level of genuine, non-contrived competitiveness is both deeply unhealthy and hilarious. I love that guy.

Pacers win their first of four exhibition games, 123-112 over the Timberwolves at Iowa State. Haliburton had 7/6a in 16mins. Nesmith led all with 19pts. Walker had 10a, and good 2H mins from Jay Huf (16). They shot 54% and assisted on 39 of 48FGs. But 20 TOs. Next: Sat. v ATL

Just got caught up so some first half thoughts: 1. Our offense is going to be special this year. 2. Mixing and matching the right guys on the court going to be key - that 4/5 bench lineup got crushed. 3. I feel the exact same about a Kuminga 3 as I did about a Randle 3… only late in clock please.
