Since opting to go for a smaller lineup, Rick Carlisle has found it difficult to find minutes for big men Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson.
' game against the Bucks in Milwaukee, Rick Carlisle gathered big men Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson somewhere in Fiserv Forum's visitor's locker room in a space not open to the media and explained to them how things were about to change.
And then Wednesday at Oklahoma City it flipped. Turner played a tick under 20 minutes in the Pacers' blowout defeat. Jackson played 17 minutes and 23 seconds, posting 11 points and seven rebounds, and Smith didn't enter the game at all. Carlisle threw the 6-4, 230-pound Terry Taylor, a seldom-used forward, in at center when the Pacers decided to play a 2-3 zone and got 16 good minutes out of him.
"It's not like I got a hat and pull names out or flip a coin or anything like that," Carlisle said."These are decisions that are not easy decisions. I think the way the game is now, it's so dynamic and it can change on a split-second's notice. You can go into a game and say that one guy for sure is going to play and have some events happen that trigger someone else going into the game.
