NBA Thread

My NBA viewing has been very limited the last few years, playoffs and an occasional big matchup. But Hali has become appointment television.

If the Pacers end up winning the in season tournament I might have to change my opinion on it.  Hopefully the team can win their next game and ride this momentum.

15 dimes, 0 turnovers. 

Cackling.

That makes 28/0 asst/to in the Milwaukee and Boston games and is up over 5 to 1 asst/to for the year. His full stat profile as this point looks misprinted.

Assuming we want the pelicans to win tonight?

Nah. Give us Bron. The Lakers are inconsistent and it would only be fitting for a guy on a trajectory like Haliburton's to take out the Lakers.

I just don’t get the feeling the refs will let the pacers beat the lakers in this match up.

My one take away so far.  ESPN's commentators aren't actual commentators. They're just shills

[BtownStrength 1,287]

Hell of a game so far. I was anti-IST at first but have watched maybe 4 games and these atmospheres are much elevated from the standard NBA regular season game.

There has been more energy and effort for these games than last year's playoffs.

The NBA couldn't have scripted this tournament any better they got exactly what they wanted.

Not surprised in the least. It’s why I hardly watch nba anymore

Man lots of bitterness in here. Myles Turner was beaten like a bowl of eggs all night but yeah that's probably the NBA's fault.

Any shred of faith I had in NBA officiating died with Dwayne Wade. The concept that big market teams with superstars getting help isn’t exactly new it’s been happening since the 80s

Fever win the WNBA draft lottery. So, get your minds around rooting for Caitlin Clark. The high point, without doubt, was seeing Aliyah Boston at 6’5” standing next to the LA Sparks owner at closer to 5’6”. Dude looked like a muppet.
