Had to have that one, should have had it anyway considering the competition. Now, if Fox is out, they have to rely more heavily on that offense and slamming it down to Sabonis isn't an answer.

Lyles?

Brown needs to be more flexibile with his positions. He hasn't been willing to play Mitchell with Fox at all, move Huerter down to the 3 or Murray down to the 4, or Lyles to the 5 for small-ball stuff. Noticed this with Mitchell's surge last season too, but he very much seems like a rhythm player that needs time to get in the flow of the game. And Letting Mitchell not to handle the back-up Playmaking should help him too.

I thought Murray played solid on defense. Barnes was given the tougher matchups all night but Murray did well when he had to guard up.
Problem is that on Davion's watch the offense only works if he's hitting his shots.
Tonight, he hit 'em. Tomorrow night?

I wouldn't speak too soon on rotation change. Lyles played really well tonight, dare I say, above his usual production.
If he keeps at the current pace, I can see him playing a small-ball C with Murray at 4.
Ridiculously small sample size, but he's outplaying his contract (so far) this season.

Well, that's just how the game was designed, isn't it?
You are only good if you can put the ball thru the hoop.
Many did... And after watching that game, if you wouldn't , im not sure what you were watching

Let him run 2 man game, and that offense will come. Browns aversion to running the exact play that got them this win down the stretch is either intended, or this coaching staff has no idea who they have on their roster. Less pin downs, more 2 man game from this GUARD team.
He played very well in his role last game too.
A lot of people fail to see that - or appreciate that great offense will beat good defense. In any case Keegan has showed appreciably more lateral quickness on defense than I thought I saw in the summer.

I am not saying I don't want him. I love many players in the league who can fit what we are looking for too, but that's a bit far-fetch from "I'm pissed that we didn't get him" with the assumption that we did had a chance for sure to get him.

Murray looked gassed out there. I paid no mind to the missed 3s but this was his poorest outing defensively and he had no touch inside the arc. Odd

At the same time, in true Keegan fashion he still made enough must have plays that it was more than worth having him in the game.
Sabonis did not play poorly. He was the best King on the floor. Unfortunately, dude is massively struggling with staying on the floor with the fouls. Although it does seem like he gets at least 2 calls a game that are super questionable.
A fresh-outta-college rookie shouldn't be leading the team in minutes no matter how good he is, especially with Brown rightly calling for pace! Pace! PACE!
36.5 mpg coming into tonight is absolutely ridiculous. At this rate he's gonna hit that rookie wall much sooner than later.
He’s going to have some off games. He’s set the bar so high that you expect him to deliver every time but he still had a solid outing overall

He was #4 in fouls per game in the last 2 years and I remember Pacers fans saying that was a problem for him so this might be something we live with for a while
