Obi with 34, Grimes with 46.

Two guys Tom absolutely loathed and wanted gone, we got back jack **** for both of them.

Obi is averaging 9 points a game this year. And he lost his starting spot like a month in as a Pacer. Thibs was right about him

Hurting his anti-thibs cause by using obi

And then using sims. Nasty work by nodope lol

Thibs held back all of our homegrown talent, and because of him, they were all traded.

After instilling a culture and bringing the team back to respectability he should have been let go.

Obi has his one good game of the year in maurice ndour style and now you have people saying Thibs held him back. I wonder how pacers fans feel since Obi was so bad he lost his starting spot and forced the pacers to trade for Siakam.

I hope 4 teams jump them in the lottery. this tanking job is really a joke. resting 2 of their top 4 players in every game (in addition to the 4-5 "injured" guys).

I love when certain players put up big stats and their team lose its "losing player/empty stats". but Grimes putting up big stats while his team loses every single game is the greatest thing ever :lol:

Hopefully the front office has crippled the Knicks with these mmoves and they suck

Suns with Booker and Durant can't catch a Mavs team with basically everbody out is just nuts.

Wasn't implementing the playin tournament supposed to discourage these teams from tanking? Miami, Toronto, Brooklyn and Philly seem not to be bothered by it. After all is it really worth having to possibly play an extra game or two over moving up in the draft?

Glad to see some of us were on the right side of history. Never bet against the legend Jerry west.

Always nice seeing the Wolves and crappy Sixers lose.

But both choking their way to an overtime L in the same night?? Didn't have that on my bingo card.

Obi and the short-handed Pacers snatched the Wolve's fans' souls with their team at full-strength.

They actually led 139-131 with 1 min left... the Rockets outscored 10-2 to send it to OT
