I think that’s impossible and wishful thinking. You take the risk.

How is it wishful thinking. Teams decide who players. If the team trainer doesn’t clear them then they can cry about it next season.


You always take the risk, because nothing is guaranteed in sports. Pacers are most likely not making it back to the finals in the next 20 years.

The warriors were probably the one and only example of a team that had major success even after their co-best player suffered a terrible injury, but that's because they were already a championship team without KD.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

At this point any calls SGA gets people just have to complain, even when he actually gets fouled.

Have you seen a single pushoff called all postseason? It's not a foul anymore just accept it.


No, I will not accept it. It's terrible for the game and needs to be addressed.

Mathurin has to go up strong. The Pacers all need to be sent to training camp with the Colts. What a bunch of sissies.

Mathurin clearly fouled, no call. 3 the other way on fastbreak. OKC literally being handed a title.

Indiana should run 4/5 pick-and-roll between Tony Bradley and Pascal Siakam. See if OKC has the size to stop it.

Why does OKC get to hack everyone but you touch FTA and he's going to the line?

This is not even basketball at this point. OKC is grabbing and pushing people all play. Dort pushed Turner in the head off ball. It’s like wrestling is allowed for OKC. Don’t even recognize some of these refs

Turner is so useless man.
Can’t rebound or make free throws.

Mathurin has been so shook since those missed FT's.

Just be yourself, man. You can win.

Mathurin gets a wide open drive and goes up soft. Go strong Benn.
