Pacers meanwhile are flat out out hustling OKC, beating them at the wear them down and team game.

Chet was clobbered over the head and they’re talking about shot blocking greatness on the replay lmao

Watching the games as a neutral and just seeing how godawful these refs are game by game is incredible

I agree, excellent audition for the Lakers.

:lol: if this wasn't a joke I would legit feel bad.
According to some folks this guy has been auditioning for the Lakers for like 7 years now.

i think he would probably prefer to stay with the winning team

OKC seems like frontrunners if I'm being honest, they don't look good in crunch time.

Other than SGA, no one seems like they can create any offence.

Horrible start fueled by injuries to all of our defensive wings and season-ending injuries to both back-up centers.

Exactly. Bryant was never supposed to see the floor. He and Bradley are 4th and 5th string Centers.

I mean, they have no where else to go outside of an ISO for J-Will or SGA.

They don't have a great Xs and Os guy that can draw up a lot of away from the action sets.
