  1. Draft position alone guarantees nothing. In terms of going 5th, I wouldn't say seeing it as likely working out as going bust is an endorsement. #5 guys shouldn't be 50% bust. The thought was that Utah gave him a guarantee that if he got to 5 that they insured him they would select him. His advisers seemed to want to go with that assurance as opposed to risk him going two, three or four.
  2. I didn’t say we didn’t want him. But you are way overselling him.
  3. His upside certainly looked a lot better when he was 6'10" than 6'7.5"
  4. Bet on my 200 minute prop?
  5. Benedict Benson? Last time I saw him he was sitting behind Purdue's bench.
  6. Mbiya is a Bidunga type in that they both are centers. One was a burger boy and the other needs to lay off the burgers. mbiya could eventually be a good player but he’s not going to add much this season. You have stated what Indiana’s need was for him which is exactly what I said: a depth piece.
  7. I'm willing to bet that he logs under 200 minutes for the season at Kansas.
  8. Given 20 conference games, I'm all for an increase in non-con.
  9. Would have liked to have him as a depth piece, but ultimately he was an unranked guy who left NC State after they over recruited with a 10 minute mid-major big. His value was from the fact that there aren't many guys available right now.
  10. BTW, Skip Bayless can go to hell. About ten minutes prior to Hali's injury, he tweeted that the Pacers had faked his calf injury because 'he played bad in important games and it took the pressure off him'.
  11. Seems like a hot take based on no information. In terms of Turner, I am inclined to agree that they are better off not overspending. Defensively he fits but I think they would be better off with a guy who doesn't necessarily add much offensively but is a plus rebounder. And my God, get Mathurin to buy in on defense. Guy certainly can score but just gives up too much on the other end.
  12. Well, solid season for the Pacers. Nobody would have ever expected them to get this close to a title.
  13. nobody said anything of that nature.
  14. -14 with Mathurin on the floor. Kid has some offensive skills but just doesn't seem to fit in Indiana.
  15. They are 10 of 21 from three.
  16. Exactly what do posters control?? It's not like the Pacers are 'throwing a fit'.
  17. Turning away from the game. Been quite a few Pacer comebacks in the playoffs when I've changed channels.
  18. On the other end, Holmgren is getting abused when he gets switched onto smaller, faster players.
  19. The NBA sucks. Tired of watching OKC just flop and get calls. That offensive foul on Mathurin was ludicrous.
  20. SGA just falls to the floor and Nembhard gets called for a foul.
  21. Pacers were up 30 after three quarters. Exactly what kind of script is that?
  22. Hali was obviously hurt in game 5.
  23. Pacers not playing well and ref ball continues to allow OKC to do whatever they want.
