That's not a master class. That's the other guy going, "damn, coach told us not to stuff and risk injury."

A lot more impressive than the Pacers beating the Cavs back-up's back-ups by just 2 points and celebrating like they're don't already have Cancun on their schedule for mid-May.

Hopefully they play well enough to pull one out tomorrow against the mighty line-up of Craig Porter Jr and Emoni Bates.... it could come down to the wire again!

See Beasley even went on X crying about Giannis shimmy to him. Dude was doing it to the Bucks bench when he was hitting 3's but now cries when Giannis did it to him.

Yeah, that was one of the funniest things I've seen on the court. Giannis was cracking me up. And he was doing in a fun way but Beasley was a little you know what.

ANT gets his 18th technical rescinded (for swearing at a ref, no less).

Great example setting by the league.....

They can't let anything affect those ratings tomorrow. They need that seeding/matchup suspense.

drobfan8 · 04-13-2025, 02:55 PM

I'm intrigued with the West seedings.

I think if GS have to face the Lakers they're done. Terrible match up for them.

Luka over Steph
Bron over Jimmy
Austin over Dray

Lakers bench over Dubs

GS would be better off losing and finishing 7th, win and give HOU a shake

Hopefully someone surprises out West and outperforms. Would love to see an underdog do well.

Maybe it is the Clips this season. They have had very little expectation put on them.

drobfan8 · 04-13-2025, 03:05 PM

Why are HOU playing their guys today?

Seems dumb

coltsnsox07 · 04-13-2025, 03:10 PM

Did Bub Carrington just cost the Wizards Cooper Flagg?

Got two names for you: QJ and Furphty. Biggest comeback of the year in NBA bar none and big 5-0 for the gold and blue.

No, because the bottom 3 teams have the same chance

blackvodka · 04-13-2025, 03:42 PM

Patty dropping 43.

I don't know what that means, but watching Nesmith, Turner, and Toppin get dog walked by Jevonte Green and Emoni Bates in the first half until they had to pull them was some funny stuff.

Celebrating a win against the Cavs G-League team when you actually had starters and rotation players in the game?

blackvodka · 04-13-2025, 05:26 PM

Clippers with the big OT win on the road.

Be nice... one of the biggest moments in the history of the Pacers franchise

Warriors somehow manage to lose three consecutive home games to fall back to the #7 seed.

And Butler banged knees with Harden in OT and was hobbling pretty badly afterwards.

A tale as old as Knicks debauchery.

BO writes off the Clips trade as the worst since Brittney Griner for Russian Death Merchant, and he leads them to a top 6 record in a loaded WC without Board Man and just dropped a 39 piece on the Golden Girls home floor for the critical dub.

You absolutely hate to see it.

False gold. I was planning on attending a game the last week at Oracle, but saw how they were losing must-win games at home and said, "Nope."

On the positive side, it's better they fall to the play-in seed than lose to the Lakers again.

Most likely at some point...

But hey, at least there was 2016 and we're not going on 50 years without a title.

Which is why that 4 seed is such a big deal for the Pacers!

Totally agree with you. The Butler trade obviously made them better, but I have never bought into the hype that they could actually contend in the West. With their seeding now, I'd give them a shot at Houston before being eliminated the next round. Getting out of the first round is much better than how they've looked these last 2 years.

GS have a big man problem for what seems like a good 5 or 6 years now.

A bunch of fun series coming up. If GS can beat Memphis of course. Big if.

Wolves vs Lakers will be fun.

Every West series will look good I think.

The East, meh. 2nd round will be better.

Ya, tough to get excited about the East until the conference finals. Boston/Cleveland serm pretty set out East.
