Around The League - Bill Walton passes from cancer at 71

Pacers fans whining about their team being at a disadvantage is pretty rich. Just be happy that you got your token series win and be thankful you even got to participate in the 2nd round of the playoffs, losers.

The Ethan Strauss stuff was brought up and discussed in the media thread yesterday. MD

Yeah give me the Lakers job over that one. (Well at least 2 years ago)

I think the pacers take the next 4 easier than people expect

This is a pretty wild take considering how the first 2-games have gone. Indiana is basically playing at their preferred pace (both games have been shootouts) and yet the Knicks are beating them at their own game.

I do think Indiana has a very fair gripe with Game 1. Didn't see enough of Game 2 to really say but it felt like the ending was fine at least. At any rate, Indiana has been right there in both games and arguably should have won Game 1. If the Anunoby and Brunson injuries are anything serious, they could definitely swing the momentum back in their direction. We'll see. I'd certainly be picking the Knicks.

I’m not sure why we are sour grapes over Indiana. They played the right way, were more athletic, showed more hustle, hit more shots, and wanted it more. Aside from game 5 we stunk it up. And us not being healthy is on us.

If you go back to regular season game ball, sure. But that is so minimal.

I don’t care if NY or Indiana wins. Both are more deserving than us this year and neither franchise hired Adrian **** Griffin or Doc Rivers.

With OG going down, I just feel like the knicks are running out of bodies. The guys they have are already stretched really thin and punching above their weight.

Knicks need OG. Thibs needs to chill out.

Bud would make them scary.

[Matches Malone]

Edens/Haslam should fire Doc so the Suns can't catch up to our coaching carousel.

[Ron Swanson]

Can we trade them Doc and hire Vogel?

[MickeyDavis]

Bud to the Suns makes sense.

[drew881]

Good for Bud getting the work from home modality.

Wonder if Bud values Brook and feels he can get the most out of him.

[WeMajor34]

Happy for Bud if he’s hired, but I couldn’t imagine coaching THAT team and feeling like you have a solid home there for the foreseeable future. Too many egos in the building and Ishbia seems like he’s too involved with the decision making process.

Dame did have some great chemistry with Nurkic.

Maybe something’s there but I would stay far away from a move like that.
