Yeah and then if your team wins you quickly move back to pre game 1 respect mode. That was my Jalen Brunson arc in last year’s playoffs.

The pacers beat the bucks without the freak and they would have been swept by the knicks if OG didn't die so they are clearly lucky assholes.

When the Pacers were up 43 points in the 4th quarter I was definitely thanking the basketball gods that OG Anunoby wasn't out there. If he was, they may have only led by 30!

the pacers beat the bucks 4-1 in the regular season and there were 3 wins between the pacers and the knicks this season, friend.

The Pacers are ethical hoopers as they blew out the Knicks while only taking 8 FTs to the Knicks 31.

I wonder how Adam Silver feels when he sends in a ringer like Tony Brothers, and the team he's trying to help just absolutely shits the bed.

If a team like the Knicks somehow went down to only 4 players who could play, is there a rule that would allow emergency 10 day playoff contracts?

Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit.

I'm interested to see how the knicks come out next game. Before this started, I thought the pacers deeper roster and quick pace would wear down thibs' style of starter-heavy game management over a protracted series, and it sure looked like that happened in game 4.

Then again, the pacers love to drop critical games against teams they have an honest shot at beating.

Same, though I am rooting for the Knicks to win. (Because Brunson.)

I hope the Pacers win as a knock on all those people who say stifling defense is important, i want to see a team that just runs and goes instead of pounding the rock every posession.

The knicks haven't had real success in a long enough time that I don't really hold anything against them. Their fans are more charmingly psychotic than smug.

But it's still Pacers to the finals and all of us wearing weird tyrese shirts

A bettor sitting on a $1.7 million payout if the Thunder win the NBA title is hedging by letting in outside investors

"The original $100 bet was a parlay ticket that also included championships for the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Chiefs, both of which have happened."

Luka literally never had possession. I’ll grant you that it touched his hands for .001 microseconds and then immediately coughed it up.

I think that's a nanosecond. Apparently there's something called a rontosecond. That's close enough to a rondosecond IMO.

Crazy Ted posted:

Speaking of Win Shares, it's got to be just about impossible to break Kareem's single-season of record of 25.4 and Wemby's going to break it isn't he?

EDIT: In Kareem's six seasons in Milwaukee he had 115 Win Shares holy poo poo

And if you include the playoffs then 1964 Wilt had nearly 29 WS.

Neither of those are likely to be surpassed. Kareem's scoring (relative to league average) was superior to 2016 Curry. Victor W. could reach that if the NBA created a 4P line and he was by far the best 4P shooter while also being a generational defender.

Another issue is that modern players play fewer minutes. Victor W. will probably never average 40+ MPG like the typical silent generation/boomer players.
