Tournament games are at 5 PM EST and 9 PM EST today. Strange.

Spurs not too far behind the Pistons in ineptitude. Looking at their schedules, I think the Pistons lose their next 5 games for sure.

Hali so special

Hali, SGA, Ingram all got the length, slithery dribble moves, and great pull-up midrange games. Is Hali the best 3 shooter among them?

If Indy could just add OG for nothing they'd be a true contender. Not sure who they could give up in trade and still be great with OG

NBA’s about to rig this for the Lakers. Can’t have a Pacers/Pelicans final.

They should go for Siakam. They need a 2nd option, they have enough role players as it is.

I hear that, but a guy to slow down Tatum, Butler, Mitchell , even Giannis in the playoffs would be really valuable too

Good for the Pacers for seeing the future of Hailiburton when making that trade for him....Sabonis, Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, and a 2nd round pick for a legit superstar PG is pretty insane on top of getting a superstar they also got Buddy Hield in that trade as well....Sabonis is a good player but Haili could have been grabbed by any team who gave up a sim type of player plus a little extra to outbid that including a first round pick....

Pacers made a trade that is an example of trading your established good all star level player leading you no where for a young up and coming talent who has potential to be a star.

in 2021-2022 we could have traded
Siakam
GTJR
Flynn
1st rounder ( one of the picks we traded for Thad or Jakob)

Could of gotten the deal done for Haili/Hield

But now we will prolly lose Siakam for nothing or for a terrible package....Sucks Masai couldn't trade a Siakam for a Maxey/Haili type player when he had the chance though.

Yeah Chuck just said it straight up, the league wants Lakers in the final. He was adamant about the bad call vs Suns despite the league's cover-up too. The calls will be sketchy tonight for sure

Still isn’t enough offensive firepower. When the playoffs happen, all of this free flowing offence becomes much more slower. That’s where you need your other scoring options to merge and I don’t really see too many of those on the Pacers outside of Hali and maybe Hield.

Games are in the same arena so there's gotta be a buffer between the games. Possible overtime, warm ups, etc...
