Oladipo's Star Continues to Rise
On some teams, if a star player such as Victor Oladipo missed five foul shots in a win, he'd hear the trash talk as soon as he got to the postgame locker room.
This isn't one of those teams. The Pacers, a team so cute and cuddly that grandmothers want to pinch their cheeks, a team that seems to have stepped out of a 1950s sitcom, wouldn't dare do a thing so rude as to make fun of a teammate's failure.
Myles Turner, in fact, sounded surprised and perhaps a bit offended that the question even came up.
"This is a positive team, man," he said. "We don't focus on negatives like that. He's going to shoot a thousand more free throws, man. He's going to make some and miss some."
