Is this actually real, because I literally don’t believe it. This has nothing to do with Curry being a transcendent shooter, 5 consecutive 75 foot throws without even hitting board once? Really struggling to buy it. 

 

That’s why I love to watch him play

My goodness, Andrew Nembhard.

There was a reason Gonzaga was so good the past couple years. He was a big part of that.

Nembhard just eviscerated the Warriors last night. They had nothing for him even while we were playing the scrubbiest of scrub lineups.

I’m not saying Andrew Nembhard is the next Lebron James, but I’m also not NOT saying that Andrew Nembhard is the next Lebron James.

Dude was checking Curry a lot too

The Pacers are putting together a pretty impressive team. Not to mention,  they have 3 #1's and 2 #'2's in the 2023 draft.

Since the Hoosiers don't have a game between the holidays, I decided to go see the Pacers On New Year's eve (3pm). Looking forward to seeing them in-person.

I had quit watching them for a few years, however this team plays hard, and seems to enjoy playing together. Talent helps. lol

Still not a big fan of what the NBA has turned into,but I enjoy this Pacers tram, thus far.

Enjoy the game and Happy Holidays!

Thanks! We may go ahead and watch the women's team play on the New Year's Day too. Still deciding if we have time to fit that one in.

I think we're heading down the 26th of January, to see them play OSU. Really impressed with what CTM is doing with the women's program.

Wonder if there is a record for number of assists in a season while still maintaining a 4.0+ assist to turnover ratio. Hali seems like he could be trending to setting it.

Always seemed like a hell of a guy. RIP

These are hilariously fun to watch every time.

This is a terrific little read by Caitlin Cooper. IF you  don’t  follow her I highly recommend. She’s great on the Pacers and she does first rate X’s and O’s.

Like this article a lot for some solid snark and being absolutely correct. With his contract factored in, Zach LaVine is the hands-down last player in the League I would take for my team.

Hali is a super star

And a great kid on top of that! They seem to have a great culture in that locker room, as well. 

Don't they have a bunch of draft picks in 23?

They have their own first, the Cavs' first as long as it isn't in the lottery, and the Celtics' first as long as it lands outside the top 12. 

 

The secpnd rounders I'm not tpp sure. The significant one is the Houston 2nd rounder, but its confusing who gets it. I',m just gonna wait until the season is over to figure it out.
