As I'm reading the Tony Allen news:

A car he wasn't driving was pulled over in Arkansas.
Cops say they found weed and cocaine inside.
Allen was arrested.

Is that accurate?

Man, it was the full Marcus Smart experience last night, lol. Charges drawn, opponents enraged, flops, refs exasperated, big plays, awful heat check 3, driving the team towards a win and almost throwing it away with 1.2 seconds left. It had it all!

Marcus on the Lakers is such a bummer, I'm just pretending it isn't happening, lol

I caught myself rooting for him for a second and shame enveloped my whole body. Skinny Luka making basketball plays is a lot of fun too, tbh. But, the purple and gold and the combo of those 2 flopping / foul-hunting brought me back to the correct state of hate for that team instantly.

hard not to cheer for Mahcusss Smahhhht, hope he gets a title before his careers over. He sure would have helped our current roster out, not sure how the numbers would have worked out

By the way, it's super weird that the OKC gave up on Giddy so fast. The guy is looking like Larry Bird out there and a Nikola Jokic lite(meaning lighter and smaller). They could've kept him for 2 more years and he absolutely seems to be better than Jalen Williams. That just my opinion. It's crazy, the guy looks like Doncic but a bit springier and younger.

Giddey would have looked great with Tatum and Brown.

He'd look amazing, cause he averages 10 assists a game(and we lack that). Still shocked OKC gave him up for Williams, always thought Giddey was more talented.

Same management that gave up on Harden (or at least picked Ibaka over him).

Can't win 'em all.

Wow.. I guess it's only a matter of time, but I should be meeting with the one and only Tom Brady..

A good friend of mine who has a son the same age as my son (best friends) goes to school and plays basketball with Benjamin Brady. And Tom Brady often shows up at practice. And sits like he's one of the guys..lol..

Truth, is I really have no idea what to say.

Meanwhile, my son will definitely be playing basketball with Miles Shephard tomorrow. The son of.the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator..Kelvin Shephard.

I find it interesting that both sons of football hierarchy don't even play that sport.. Benjamin Brady, by all accounts really does not like basketball but is encouraged by the school to play something.lol

Ja Morant 3-19 today in a loss. Wow... That ship is sinking. Remember when some blamed Taylor Jenkins 8-)

Nico Harrison about to get fired.

An underwhelming Cooper Flagg and a thriving Luka will cost Nico his job.

Pacers are 1-9, at bottom of the east along with Washington.

And sitting all their guys..shameless tanking lol

Read on Twitter

?s=20

It's smart. Best player out with a torn achilles. So they know they're not competing fort a title. Mine as well rest their guys and go for a high draft pick in one of the best drafts of all time.

Nico didn't deserve Flagg I the first place. ,In terms of Doncic, I'm not sure how much is on Nico or on ownership.

Yeah and If and when they end up with a Franchise level player all while we get Romeo Langford part Duex. I am coming back for the "non-Tank" Group. :wink:

Sounds like some people should be Pacer fans. This is the Celtics RealGM forum.
