Never an overthought.

Close it out for 24.

Not sure how far they are going to be able to climb up the standings given the hole they dug themselves, but they look like they're starting to turn into the dangerous playoff team we thought they might be.

Threw $200 at them at +5000 for s & g.

Love my Dubs!

2020 NBA Draft the Pacers didn't have a 1st round pick

Pretty damn good job by the Pacers

#8 pick Obi Toppin
#10 pick Jalen Smith
#12 Haliburton
#14 Aaron Nesmith

Covering my bases since the Pacers are playing... geezus their defense is bad

Question: how would you seriously rank them?

OOO just saw the Mo Wagner poster on Wemby. Whoever does those gif clips, that'd be a nice one to post here...

oldgoldy97 · 02-09-2024, 10:12 AM

Wolves smoke Milwaukee. But can’t beat Orlando at home

Nomad · 02-09-2024, 10:14 AM

which makes sense?

asujbl · 02-09-2024, 12:02 PM

Didn't you guys (Cavs fans on here) all want the coach fired and Mitchell traded like 4 weeks ago?

I did, and still do.

Regular season is cool and all but JB isn’t a good coach. I don’t trust him to run a competent playoff offense.

I also don’t think Mitchell is a title caliber player as a #1

If you’re talking to me?

JBB - Nope. I don’t care about coaches. This is the NBA. You could hire my wife and I really wouldn’t care. Players win the games

Mitchell - The offers I put out there (which were just random internet rumors)… absolutely… and I would have traded him yesterday for them. He still probably won’t be back. That kind of matters. I never advocated giving him away. Hell the Warriors might laugh at the offer I wanted for him

That’s just me

ninjabum87 · 02-09-2024, 02:39 PM

Idk, do they need a hard carry #1 when they're playing defense this well?

The problem is that iso-offense is not going to win you a playoff series no matter how good your defense is.

They've looked a lot better and a big reason is Kerr is playing Kuminga.

They did just have an incredibly soft schedule the past 6 games.

Winning in Indy on a b2b was big though.

Next they have PHO, UTAH, LAC, UTAH.

The Utah games will be most important.

If 76ers go on a winning spree with Buddy Hield...

ninjacookies · 02-09-2024, 08:00 PM

Buddy's just the more Caribbean version of Keegan with oversized veneers.

Don't overhype it.

Nomad · 02-10-2024, 04:53 PM

Detroit now officially a team.

drobfan8 · 02-10-2024, 04:56 PM

Gafford is an incredible pick up for Dallas.

The intensity and activity from him is a massive upgrade.

Luka finally has a big who can score. No more depending on Maxi Kleber / Powell to not get rebounds when they blow late game leads.

Could be a HUGE pickup.

Yep..he's been amazing this game

Nomad · 02-10-2024, 05:16 PM

I think actually Maxey and Hield will work well together.

Kobefan · 02-10-2024, 05:56 PM

So what happened to the OKC? Obviously, Shai needs to be more aggressive and takes more shots, but I think the biggest issue here is their inability to rebound the ball.
