I was a big PG fan for a long time -- and consider a lot of the 'bad attitude' he was cast with while on the P's to Bird's idiotic, overbearing and genuinely stupid demands, insisting on playing PG at power forward and basically running off the P's then star player -- that said, PG's play for money to leave the Clips Z(where he was largely outstanding) and join the Sixers was itself selfish, short-sighted and well, dumb, and he got what he deserved in making that bad decision. But regardless his broken leg injury from the stanchion isn''t comparable to an achilles tear. Durant's is a direct comparison, and he returned after a  year out to continue to dominate as the League's most efficient scorer and a legit superstar. Yep, Hali should be fine, just have to be patient waiting on his return.

Exactly on all of that. PG and Bird were like a married couple who were both at fault for acting like morons and refused to listen to each other and consider each other's views (ironically my parents got divorced for exactly this reason and are much better for it).

Very nice read from Caitlin Cooper on sort of the nature of fandom and, specifically, Pacers fandom. Such a fan of her work.

Thanks!  That IS a very good piece.  Moving on is part of life.  We all face it…that moment when you have to let go…and move on.  As Coach McCracken would loudly say…Next play.

Wow, to add insult to the injury of how badly he lost the genetic lotto, as Cooper Flagg’s hugging his twin brother Ace after being drafted it’s pretty clear that Ace at the ripe old age of 18 has a receding hairline. Swear to God, that kid can’t catch a break.

Dylan Harper at 2nd in the draft interesting.

Ace Bailey in Salt Lake City is priceless good news.

The bling-iest, lowest defensive effort guy in the draft goes to the least bling-iest place in North America.

BTW -- before tonight, can anybody name the last white American college player to go No. 1 in the draft? 

Here's a hint ...
