Since the Pacers’ season ended Sunday in a Game 4 home loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, several members of the 15-man roster have posted on Twitter or Instagram — or in some cases, both — to cap the 2016-17 season. Exit interviews were held early this week.
They went 42-40 in the regular season, three wins fewer than the previous year, and were swept in Round 1 by the reigning champions.
Eight in all have sent something out, less than half of the team. Most notably, starters Jeff Teague and Myles Turner did. Three who did not — Monta Ellis, Aaron Brooks, and Al Jefferson — do not have or are not active on social media.

Surprisingly, Paul George has yet to post about the season beyond his final game press conference.
Last year, he posted shortly after their Game 7 loss in Toronto.
Gave you my heart Indy!

This was a season he was eager to get going, though. He posted numerous times about his readiness to get back on the floor.
We will hear from coach Nate McMillan during his end-of-the-season press conference Thursday at 11:00 am, and then Larry Bird on Monday.
