Ok, the 1st 4 minutes of this Pacers game was more interesting than the last 3 months of games in total.

New guys are a blast. I’ve been a Hield fan for years and Rese is as advertised. Need them to continue to be fun and blow 4th qtr leads, which appears to be the case tonight.

Yup. High energy,, entertaining losses is the best of all possible worlds.

Keep the "tanking" going.

This is an amazing pass. There is no angle here and Halliburton just finds one.

Another supremely entertaining tank game. Rese with 15 assists, Brissett doing Brissett things and we get to watch Anthony Edwards go the hell off.

How are we doing in the tankathon standings?

5th best odds. 3 games back of 6th, 1 game away from 4th.

Hopefully the Pacers can keep the "momentum" going!

Tied for 4th best odds this morning. This is good! We're fun and simultaneously suck. Pritchard killed it.

 

Edit: 5th best odds, I can't read. Still good!

That's the best part. They are at least fun to watch and give some hope. I wouldn't mind if we grabbed Jaden Ivey, Wendell Moore and Oscar Tshiebwe in the draft... As long as we trade away Brogdon and McConnell.

Just checked the box score of the last Spurs game, and if the positions are listed correctly, Romeo was sent into a tough situation. The game listed 6 shooting guards for the Spurs from that game.

Super tough spot. Spurs friend of mine doesn't think he'll get much of a chance. Unfortunately, I think his career is going to be short lived. He's lost any scorers mentality he had and that's hurt him a lot. He honestly plays scared on offense, at least he did in Boston.

Yea don’t look like a good fit at all

[Hovadipo]

Tristan Thompson goes for 17-6 on 8/9 shooting and postgame Rick announces he is being waived. 
 

Don’t play with KP’s tank!

Time to start another streak.

[Demo]

Ok, quick rant. This obviously ridiculous hot take has been out there for 30 years and it makes me nuts. Maybe the most dynamic small scoring guard in the history of the game WAS NOT BETTER AT FOOTBALL! I don’t have to watch him play a single second to know that.  The most unguardable 1 on 1 player I’ve ever seen was not better at the sport he was 50lbs too light to play in college. And I heard Bob Ryan say it again as recently as probably 6 months ago. No. No, no. Just stop it.

Thank you. Better now.

Bob Ryan still has a platform? That old bag of bones should have hung it up years ago. I don’t think I’ve agreed with anything he’s said, ever.

Dude does not look long for this world. He also said Marcus Vick was gonna be better at Va Tech than Michael. I’m sure he also thought Usain Bolt’s younger brother Steve was pretty g*dd*mned fast and Magnus Carlsen is even better at mahjong.

Levert and Garland will be sidelined for a bit with small injuries. We could use a little slide from them to move up our other 1st rounder. Best case scenario for the last stretch of the season is Haliburton and Brogdon not working well together. Unfortunately, I think Brogdon is really good off the ball and that could be a recipe for lottery disaster. Or...Brogdon could just get hurt again which is almost a guarantee in a 22 game stretch.
