Indiana is a real bummer. Their run last year won’t really be remembered. Even Haliburton’s crazy finishes are just going to be footnotes buried in history. They also aren’t likely to get back to the finals with this iteration of the team. They certainly aren’t getting as close as they did last year. …last year where they looked to be the favorites in game 7 after the first few minutes.

fun team, great crowd, almost a great story but ultimately not accomplishing anything and going down in the worst way imaginable. Bummer.

Add Dybantsa, Peterson, or Boozer to that team with their tank pick and if Hali can make a KD like comeback they'd be pretty filthy. Gotta make lemonade like the 96-97 Spurs after David broke his foot.

Genuinely rooting for them to get number #1 pick to make up for that Halliburton gut punch. Pacers have been one of the most ethical franchises in the NBA. They barely if ever went on a hard tank and never won the lottery.

If there was ever a time to rig the lottery, it's this one.
The league really needs at least 2, if not all 3 of those top3 prospects to go East because the difference in talent is getting bigger every year.

I'd like to see Peterson on the Wizards, Sarr has made a significant leap this season and I think they'd be an amazing duo.

Peterson on the Wizards, Dybantsa on the Pacers, and Boozer on the Hornets would make the east super interesting again.
 
Gordon and Braun are back, but the Nets are easily taking care of the Nuggets.
If Jokic misses an entire month, we'll surely finish the season ahead of them.

Not only that, but some West stars (looking at you Doncic & Ant!) are also going to have to make the strategic decision of moving East because this Conference is pretty much locked for Spurs/OKC+Jokic for next 3-5 years

I really don't see how can either of those two teams contend considering that they wasted most of their assets already and are nowhere close to having enough high end players.
With that said, I'm sure Silver will think of something to keep the Lakers relevant.
 
In the 9 games following Chris Finch's outburst and ejection, the Oklahoma City Thunder rank 28th in Free Throw Attempts per game, ahead of only the Raptors and Cavs.

:D

Also, just saw on reddit that JJJ has 4 rebounds in 64 minutes played in January.
The most overrated player in the league.

Schedule + whistle less friendly and OKC becomes a very standard 1 seed. Great team but not a historic one.
 
Would be sweet if all 3 of the Thunder, Rockets, and Nuggets lose tonight. All 3 currently down at the moment.

How da fuq is OKC losing by 20 at home to the Hornets? Might be their first real bad loss.

We might have broken those guys, tbh. Also, i think J-Dub return has clearly messed up their early season chemistry/flow along with the schedule tightening..I feel like they're just a high caliber mid-60 win team that's far from unbeatable (they don't have that Jordan Bulls', Lakers 2000-02, Warriors 2015-19, even Heatles aura about them)
 
A lot of teams are going through some shit right now. Now I don't feel bad losing to the Blazers and Jazz.
 
Nuggets pulling off this win with their C squad would be nutty
