OG is a monster


Since Tampa I have been telling people OG is worth more than Siakam and everyone clowned me

Huh? Siakam? No

Billups with an epic tank job. He really looks like he has no clue what he's doing though to be fair.

The rest of the Pacers decided to forget how to shoot threes that game for some reason.

Billups didn't call the timeout fast enough. I do think the double techs were bs though.

He ran into the first ref, so he was going to get that first tech.

I don't know what the rules are about that, but I didn't see anything worth a tech there. Billups is obviously very animated because he's trying to get the ref's attention for the timeout.

It probably should happen at the start of a season, but I wouldn't mind the NBA getting more strict about coaches walking around on the court. Seems silly that they can just take a stroll around during active play with no issues.

Would have to put in a better system for timeouts at the same time, obviously.

Like the league cares about Portland. Do they think LeBron is on their team or something?

I see them getting fined for launching a protest.

A remote that sends a mild electric shock to the ref.

Or a light which the coach turns on. Replays can show if the light was on before the double dribble was called.

They foul for this lol


Eh a couple of things

We all know he's not a #1 option, and that being said, their best player is injured.

He started out slow for us in the beginning of the year and now he had a 60% TS at the time of the trade.

This is most likely a wait and see type of thing.

One thing i'm certain of is he's not going to solve their defensive issues much. I don't think he's been a plus defender for years if the advanced stats are correct.

Would the Lakers have been granted the timeout in the same scenario?

Memphis and Portland have both been playing decent recently. Just need Portland to win more close games.
