But for real, Indiana has a bright future I am interested in seeing where y'all go from here. Y'all have all the ingredients for a successful dynasty so BAF is paying attention to your moves. The players you have surrounded Luka/Zion with seem to be a good fit so far.

I am in a similar boat as others. One or two moves away; and they may not happen until the reset. Luka and Zion can both be had; but they will not be had for one year rentals...

This is very telling lol. All of y’all who are chasing Luka/Zion pay attention!

cha has good defense, but not enough to contain lebron 1v1, which opens up your shooters. they don't hit, this game might be different.


looks like TOR trying to open this game up.

i would've liked to, but don't think i can sneak one in. i could probably get a 5 min quarter. but i'd have to know who he wants to go against, or someone to volunteer

WOW. I really thought Charlotte was better ( more balanced ) than this. LeBron and company took them to school.

40 PTS for LeBron in a convincing win over a contender in the East.

Good game Hoff!

Raps take the rubber match in the trilogy winning the series 2-1 (back-to-back wins after being down 0-1).
