The Indiana Pacers have been making maaaany headlines over the past two weeks, so Hardwood Knocks did the only thing it could: turn to the one, the only, the legendary Caitlin Cooper (@C2_Cooper) from Indy Cornrows to break it all down. She discusses the fallout from the report that Indiana is open to tearing it down, Myles Turner's request for a bigger role or better "role clarity," Domantas Sabonis' usage and the national media's impression of him, Caris LeVert's up-and-down season, the Pacers' crunch-time struggles, Chris Duarte's ascension, the two-man synergy between Domas and Duarte, Indy's long-term outlook and so much more.
