It’s a guy on with Simmons saying that Knecht and another 1st were in the deal and Pelinka got them to take them out over “health concerns.” 

Yes one of the first things I think of with AD is he is healthy a lot, lol

Pulled it out, sadly.

Insane stat for Sixers fans:  Since joining the Sixers, Paul George has uploaded more Podcast clips to Youtube (228) Than field goals made (191) Yes, this is a real statistic

[Demo]

Jokic last night: 31pts/21rebs/22asts. What the hell?

Aside from missing a few shots he should have made, Ware played a very good game. He has a future and will be fun to watch him develop.

Why the Pacers are such a great watch.

Yea.  Frankly it’s a little annoying how little credit this team gets — our series wins get rationalized as due to opposing team injuries.  There is some truth to that, but this team has been playing very good bball for two years, including better defense of late.

Assuming they advance (just knocking on wood), this Cavs series could be really good and a big chance to make a statement. It will be tough though.

Not sure I've seen a player go from hero to zero as fast as Gary Trent Jr. did tonight. 

 

Four 3's in the fourth quarter, four more in OT and then two turnovers in the last 30 seconds to blow the game.

I was at the Pacers game tonight and that was the best game I have ever seen in person

Incredible series of events to end that game plus the post game theatrics.

I was still in the arena but was to far up to see what started the altercation after the game

Its up there but I go a lot so besides tonight been at following games that were thrilling and this is in no particular order of best one:

1. Haliburton 4 pt play in regular season early this year

2. Nembhard long three for win vs. Knicks in playoffs last yr

3. Haliburton game winner vs. Bucks in OT last yr of game 3

4. Late winner vs. Suns middle of last year

5. Bogdanovic game w/ seven three's and 30 points to beat Lebron in playoffs

6. Thriller over Knicks in 2013 to advance to Eastern Conference Finals

7. NBA finals game 3 win vs. Lakers

8. First ever game I went to beat Bulls and Michael Jordon when Bulls went 72-10.

9. Tonight of course

 

There are probably a few others but those immediately come to mind including tonight. Another note is it amazing to me how Gainbridge Fieldhouse goes from a library and my least favorite place for a game atmosphere in regular season to as good an atmosphere as any big time vintage Assembly Hall atmosphere in playoffs.

Gainbridge is by no means unique in this regard in NBA, but atmospheres from regular season to playoffs go from about 2/10 to 10/10 in postseason. I would say NBA is league with biggest discrepancy from regular season to postseason with intensity both on the court and in the stands.

I was at your #5

I was at the 94 playoff clincher vs Orlando. The previous best I saw was vs Boston in game 4 of the best of 5 series.where Chuck Person went crazy in the 4th to get the win.
