    I never would've guessed that if someone let me try 1000 times. That was Dame's rookie year.

    Most the other leaders are people you'd expect, although 1998 had Rod Strickland for assists.

    2001 Jerry Stackhouse for points.

    Asik was on that Houston team Dame beat the next year with 0.9

    What's up with the Pacers after looking so promising last year in the playoffs?

    *Kingspeed voice* Big deal, the Blazers were +6 with Clingan and -10 without him tonight.

    by the way, in a comparison between Knecht and Avdija, one thing to keep in mind:

    Avdija is only 3 months older than Knecht

    That injury report is misleading. Their top 7 guys have all played around 14-15 games.....except for Nemnhard. (Only 7 )
    He has turned out to be a pretty good 2nd round pick.

    Still, this starting lineup should not have been blown out last night. Not when Quenton Jackson goes 10-12 and McConnell off the bench goes 8-12. I assume they will turn it around though.

    Pascal Siakam
    Myles Turner
    Tyrese Haliburton
    Bennedict Mathurin
    Quenton Jackson

    no argument

    I think last season the Pacers, in the playoffs especially, just caught lightning in a bottle. Their success was was much better than their talent. Yeah, they probably should be better than their 6-9 record, but lots of pretty good teams have had poor starts

    Two all-NBA players plus Turner, Mathurin, and Nemgard is a lot of talent. It must be their lack of D.
    They could use a defensive center. (maybe Robert Williams if he stays healthy until Feb?)

    A movie about his life getting to the league would be amazing. I shared the video on here while I was in Paris this past summer. I have video of him celebrating with his teammates right outside my hotel room window at a restaurant after they wrapped up the Bronze medal I believe. He was TANKED up there getting his medal that night! HA!

    I am not sure Indiana would want to do that so a pick would be fine with me.
    He measures 6'6.5 in bare feet with a 7'2 wing span (235 lbs)
    Is he better than Camara? I think Camara is a better-wing defender.

    Gotta match salaries somehow. No interest in Nesmith. They certainly wouldn't offer Mathurin. Jackson's not enough. Walker's their only match.

    I read that Spaniards consider themselves white if they are in Spain, but Hispanics if they are in Los Angeles.

    That’s probably correct.
