The Pacers hide Haliburton on defense, don't they?

The NBA just signed an insane TV deal without the Knicks being good. They're doing just fine. I'll always root for smaller market fan bases to enjoy success.


I wish nothing but misery to Indy, Denver I don’t like Jokic fans glazing him all the time, OKC fans are annoying and I don’t like Presti the asset collector, Minny im indifferent to as a team but don’t want that state any success either

I have a competition in me

Knicks for me. Pacers or OKC winning would be annoying imo.

first thing first. Jokic has to lose. First priority.

Then I prefer Timberwolves at west and Knicks at east. Then Knicks in finals offcourse. My brother at heaven would smile. He was Knicks fan.

Just anyone but the Pacers, man. But knowing their luck, they’ll get to face a 6-seed Wolves team and Ant will tear his Achilles in Game 1.

I think the Pacers will make the finals, barring injuries to Hali or Siakam. Hali will cook Brunson or Towns. If the Knicks bring on McBride, that's another player for Siakam to mismatch when they get switches. He'll bully Brunson, & is too quick for KAT.

But if they'd draw OKC in the finals none of this works cuz they get around screens & have outstanding individual defenders. Minny would have to take off Gobert. Then I think they'd have the versatile defenders. But do they have that sense? I'd favor Indy over Denver cuz Jokic on D.

Working on a composite character combining a former first lady, an overall top pick from UNLV and the greatest sht-talker of all time. Tentatively named Larry Bird Johnson. I'm ready to take calls and start discussing numbers.

Caitlin Clark is so much fun to watch. The passes she makes are just special.

This is so weak. There's a little push, flagrant is fine I guess. But it's pretty weak and the reaction was like Caitlin ran over her dog. Trying to go after her like a minute after it's all over for this? :lol:

It's a lot of fun that these two so obviously hate each other but I think it'd be more fun if Reese was actually good. I know she was an All-Star but it's just because she's famous and rebounds a lot. Great skill, and she's amazing at it, but it helps that she is awful finishing and shoots like 35%. At least twice today she just kept rebounding her own shot over and over and over and over again.

It really shouldn't be a rivalry in the first place. Clark is several tiers above Reese in every respect but the media badly wants it to be a LeBron vs Steph thing. When they were comparing stats, they resorted to comparing social media followers :lol: :clown:. This is more like playing up LeBron vs Anthony Tolliver.

It was a really weak call. Obvious foul, but you can't call that flagrant. Stuff like that does nothing but hurt the perception that the W is trying to influence. Reese's reaction didn't help.

****. You’re right.

Has anyone tore an Achilles in the NBA while wearing Stadia? Avia? There has to be a shoe out there that can fix this.

Stretch to even call this a hard foul. Theatrical flop and reaction from Reese. Disappointing.

Reese tries to stay relevant . She didn't initiate the contact but she sure was going to take advantage of it.

Unironic Ricky Davis' her way to big rebounding numbers is really all Reese is good for.
