    It’s kinda funny, I thought the Pacers were up 3-2 and had won the series after last night. Seeing this thread confirmed what I thought until I saw the headline on espn saying they had forced a game 7. I was so confused for a solid 3 minutes.

    Don’t get your news from social media. That includes basketball sites run by dogs.

    Some dogs are still suffering from lingering side effects of the solar storm.

    Interesting fact (and IMHO, means Portland isn't as far away as we think):

    The Pacers won 35 games last year, and 25 the year before.

    The Wolves in 19-20 and 20-21, won 30% and 32% of their games.

    Although obviously having Edwards and Haliburton (etc) matters, but so does having experience.

    If Jerami wasn't worth All-NBA money, why did he get the Jody Allen bag ??

    Good mentor for the young guys. "Get as good as me, and these dummies will pay you not to play."

    Nah you don’t get an All NBA player for Grant. You get a few players that have the potential to be All NBA players.

    I just hope the Celtics don't win. Would love to see Doncic get one. Would be cool to see Indy or Minny, small market teams get one too.
