In 2 of the 4 seasons Ben Simmons was here, he had negative on-off plus/minus numbers.

Even at the height of his peak, we were better with him off the court 50% of the time.

In 32 games before injuring his hamstring, Tyrese Haliburton averaged 24-13 on 63.3 TS%, and the Pacers had a 123.6 offensive rating.

In 23 games since then, he’s averaged 15-9 on 55 TS%, 118.8 ORTG for IND.

No, the league didn’t “figure him out”, he’s limping his way to 65.

Repent. The end is near.

*that 2 man action at OT that made Spurs score 116 will be unstoppable

Interesting that Paul George is complaining.

Yes it is. Contract negotiations not going well ? Meltdowns in the final parts of important games. Did I mention no extension yet? These upcoming clippers playoffs are going to be awesome. They could either make it to the Western Conference finals or die a horrible death trying to get there. Much like the 76ers, but only worse.

Paul George hasn't created an "identity" on any of the teams he's played for. Not sure why he's just now realizing it.

i'm a hater but it feels like Boston is playing Detroit, Washington and Charlotte every night

The Clippers are a collection of mercenaries whose main goal in life is to play in California.

The fact that it was Collins makes it all the more awesome.

Zion’s March has been absolutely insane. I would fear them in the playoffs big time. He heard all you calling him fat and not an MVP level player.

Love Zion and Anthony Edwards. They give me '90's vibes again, when the game was more than shooting 3's for 48 minutes.

Both Collins and Edwards got hurt on that play apparently.

Does anyone know what is going on with Covington and Milton? When we face Boston in the first round we need all the able bodies we have to throw at Brown, Tatum and Holiday.

Melton sounds like he had a setback. I think all 3 of Biid, Melton and Roco should be back by early april.

I have no inside information, but i expect Melton to be shut down or very limited. When you have lingering back issues like this, my guess is we have no real plan to resolve it, and are just tackling pain management.
