In the immediate aftermath of the Indiana Pacers' Game 7 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers, breakout star Victor Oladipo apparently spent very little time dwelling over what could have been.

A screenshot of a text message purportedly sent by Oladipo to Miami-based trainer David Alexander revealed that the Pacers' All-Star is ready to kick things up a notch:

Oladipo has previously credited Alexander's biomechanics work with helping spur his breakout.

Averaging 22.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, six assists, and 2.4 steals per game, Oladipo was a monster on both ends of the floor in the series, his first since coming to Indiana from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Paul George trade last summer. If there's even more room for Oladipo to grow as a player, the battle in the Eastern Conference is going to be a gauntlet for years to come.
