Probably better college games than this one. Sloppy game so far.

Rarely will I be glad for a Lakers win but tonight they beat Raptors and Cavaliers win.

Nice comeback win. Even short handed we need to be able to beat Houston.

Good night beating Rockets worsens their record and we’re still 5th spot.

Cavs back in 6th one game ahead of Raptors. We need them 6th or higher

Tank watch, one game separates us from being #6. Three games from sliding all the way #9. At 5 Keegan Murray is a real possibility. Move to 9 and things are a lot less promising.

It was good to see Goga playing well and being so aggressive in this game. Hield darn near couldn't buy a bucket all night, but he nailed all his free throws at the end to seal it.

I have a clear top 4 but 5 to 10 looks flat to me. I think we'll get a good player at our pick. A bigger worry is the Cavs dropping into the lottery.

Maybe it’s because Murray strikes me as such a perfect fit for the Pacers that I have him at the top of that second tier. If we are picking 9 or 10 I’m warming to Jeremy Sochan.

NDs Wesley is in the same area. Also, Kendall Brown and Mathurin. Duren but he's a lot like Jackson. I'll try not to fall asleep in Memphis Gonzaga.

That will be a challenge for me as well.

Minott has first round physical talent but looks lost on D. Bates has injury concerns.

Not much to see from either Holmgren or Duran.
Holmgrin’s highlight videos are more impressive than he is over the course of a game. I’ve watched him twice. He can do a lot of things but I have to wonder if he will ever dominate the game.

Our schedule remains pretty soft next few games which includes the Kings. Not sure what their schedule looks like though. But our final stretch is extremely difficult. Our month of April might be the hardest stretch in the league haha.

Kings gotta start winning some games, including the match up against us.

A very real worry given the current standings

Regarding our own pick, I wonder if there are any young stars like Haliburton that we can obtain with some combination of our pick, the Cavs pick, and Brogdon or Turner
