OG is always hilarious 

I believe that if I could pick just one guy in the history of IU basketball to watch an IU game with in my living room, it’d be Bob Knight.

But if I could only pick one player, it’d be OG Anunoby.

They are most definitely fun.  They have played 7 of their 9 games at home, but 6-3 is encouraging.  They are pretty bad defensively, but offensively they lead the league in points/games, shots taken, effective field goal percentage, and assists.  Haliburton is a legit all star.

This guy is good at this basketball thing

In the back to back with Philly his asst/to was 32 to ZERO. Never heard of such a thing.

It truly blows me away that the Kings traded him

It's still early....but we the people may have deemed a Point God prematurely. Sorry Chris, you'll have to stick with CP3 for the remainder.

That doesn’t even look real. Oh, and quick reminder as IU looks at ‘24 PG options: Haliburton wasn’t a top 100 kid. Not even close.

So what do the Pacers need to finish to get the MVP to Hali?  I say they need to finish Top 4.

Considering how good Jokic is... Pacers will need to win 55+ and even then... It'll still be Jokics to lose.

Moron actually says Tyrese doesn't turn the ball over cause he doesn't take enough risk, lol

[KingPG21]

Wish he would score more and take more risks lol

Are we supposed to want players to take risk or make the right play?

NBA culture isn’t any better than the annoying Formula 1 craze (that seems to thankfully be dying off) imo. It’s all about the storylines and no one actually watches any ball.

I firmly believe 95% of NBA takes you see all over the media are based off of watching 10 minute game recaps on Youtube. This is why Tyrese has very little chance of getting a fraction of the respect he deserves. No one gives a damn about him unless he hits 7 3s against the Sixers.

As a open wheel racing fan for over 65 years, I agree completely. I watched F1 quite a bit back when n Micheal Andretti was racing there.  Jim Clark was one of my favorite drivers of all time. But these days, I don't even know what they are doing. Strategy racing is not racing to me. Sorry for going off topic but I see a sport I really loved being ruined. Kinda like college sports.

Keep fighting the good fight! Today’s F1 is horrible.
