I hate that ‘26 is on the table at all. Too many historical examples of things going exactly as badly for the Pacers as they could have. Can see it now: they somehow end up at 5 and the Clippers take Ament who then turns into Paul George.

Yeah its a big gamble. If it pays off, its a great move but guys that could fall in the 5-9 range include Caleb Wilson, Keaton Wagler, and Nate Ament. This draft is crazy deep. 

At the same time things seem to always just work out for Pritch. Don’t forget the Pacers didn’t have this 1st rounder until last June when he got it back from NOP a week (?) before Game 7. That’s not a strategy, but it just makes me feel a little better.

Yeah, Pritch rates every benefit of the doubt, no question, but I won’t rest easy on that pick until lottery night.

RIP to the great Doug Moe. One of the most important coaches ever. His passing game system was 30 years ahead of its time and is the basis for 5 out motion. That he effectively blew up traditional system roles and turned everyone on the floor into facilitators was wild at the time, to the point that a lot of people thought it was literally playground ball.

Speechless. Absolutely speechless.

I really feel like Adam Silver's tenure is circling the drain. Between the tanking (which I don't think is nearly as big of a deal as the discourse is making it out to be) and the general direction the league is going...things aren't great. Fining us while allowing whatever the hell is happening in Sacramento is a friggin' joke.

I'm afraid of two things right now with the Pacers: 

1) They'll start to get healthy, and due to pressure from the league, start winning, sending their pick to the Clippers, or

2) They'll finish in the bottom 4, but the league will rig the lottery to make sure their pick goes to the Clippers.

Play him and tell him to not shoot unless he is under the basket. Or you can do the Utah thing and not play him in the 4th quarter.  The Pacers haven't really tanked before, so this is unusual territory from them.
