    Pacers like to play big. They pair Sabonis and Turner up quite a bit. Wonder how well defend those two. I would put Nurk on Sabonis and let Roco take Turner since he averages over 4 threes taken per game. This might actually be a game for Giles to get some minutes.

    Pacers front two are very very good. No way nurk can deal with sabonis. He's too agile. Zach is missed. And those holiday brothers did a number on curry too. Tough game for sure for portland

    I doubt that Levert will have been cleared for this game...?

    he sure was a bad matchup for Portland last season...he torched the Blazers

    At least they don’t shoot 3s. That’s Blazers weakness, defending the 3s

    I don't think one can have a wrong opinion, but my take is
    M&M: Amazing
    Calabro: Uninteresting, would rather listen to opponent's broadcast.
    Hurd & Kent: meh, their occasional unrealistic positivity baloney is really hard to take.

    True but the Pacers won at GS without Olidipo. So not playing without Levert should not be a problem for them.

    I was so busy yesterday and saw some random ass tweets, for about an hour, I thought Harden had been traded to the Pacers...... and I was like Oh Shit! You never want to play the star who was just traded for their first game. I remember when the Bucks traded Ray Allen for GP and we played them the next night here in town. I swear Payton KILLED us!

    I loved Mike and Mike. They were a great duo.

    In Barret I enjoyed having a guy calling the game who called out the refs.

    Rice was always hilarious to listen too. Always talking bout food. "Shouldn't had those nachos"

    League Pass is a joke. It's actually amazing how shitty of a product it is.
