Oops, supposed to be in the ACC. 

I'm sure the ACC is excited about swapping Notre Dame for Rutgers.

Imagine that?  Once again, you live in the past Bro.  You better get into the future because gas ain't going back to a dollar a gallon anytime soon.

Well, actually that 99 cent burrito I had for lunch has given me gas, so.........

I've always wondered what the Big Ten would do if one of our newer members 'went home'.  What if Nebraska or Maryland decided that the grass in the Big Ten was not as green as they thought, and abruptly decided to return to the conference they left (Rutgers left out of that scenario for obvious reasons)?     For example, if they added Houston, wouldn't the Big 12 be much more interested in Nebraska than they would be Cincinnati?  How would the Big Ten respond?

Saw it was overturned.  

I wonder what, if anything, was said to the ref that gave the 'T'.  I mean, did the director of officiating call him up and say "Dude, are you serious?"

Okay.  That is horrible.  If it is a rule, it needs to be changed.  Cousin's is absolutely right.  That;s just laying there, waiting for someone to trip overt it and get injured.

Cody going nuts against the Warriors tonight.  Currently 10-10 from the field.  Still in 3rd quarter.

We didn't have Sabonis at the time. 

As much as I like TB, I'll take Domas every single time.  

Given that we have Turner and Sabonis, Bryant was not an area of need for the Pacers.

Thomas Bryant came extremely close to accidently punching an official celebrating a block tonight against the Pacers.  If I can find a link, I'll post.

Is Sabonis the leading candidate for the 6th man of the year in the NBA this season?  If not, who is his competition?

I've said all along that Paul George is easily one of the five best players in the NBA.  

Colson Montgomery has a chance to be very good.  Athletic and knows how to play.  Basketball may not be his #1 sport though.

Is Lonzo Ball better than Lebron?  One man thinks so.

IMO I think the Pacers will stand pat at the trade deadline and lean on the development of Sumner and Holiday for the remainder of the season.  There are rumblings that Bojan and Pacers have interest in resigning in the offseason so you are looking at a core group of Vic, Bojan(assuming they resign him), Myles, Sabonis, Leaf, Holiday and Sumner that would be impactful players next season.  This leaves a hole for a starting PG(my guess is a return of DC especially with his comments relating to becoming a mentor type role for Aaron) a starting PF(no idea who this would be) and a bench SG(no idea).  I would be fine with Holiday/FA Signing/Sumner/Leaf/Sabonis coming off the bench with Vic/Bojan/Myles as starters leaving two holes to fill. 

 

I know Vic may not be back at beginning of season but the free agent SG we sign during summer could fill that void or Sumner could slide in(if he continues to improve)

Do not underestimate what Thad Young means to the team.  I, for one, hope he is back.

Pacers fans chanting "Lebron's going to trade you" while Brandon Ingram shoots free throws.

Does anyone think the Pacers will make a move?

Well the NBA's all star selection process is again revealed for its failures. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25901582/utah-jazz-center-rudy-gobert-breaks-tears-all-star-game-snub

I don't know about breaking down in tears, but it is a 'crying shame' Gobert was not selected, and guys like Klay Thompson -- who really has not had an all star year at all -- are picked, because fans count for 50% and the media are still, in many respects, ignorant. Then you have the Commiss picking Dirk and Wade, for sentimental reasons.

Unfortunately, no matter how many roster spots you have, there will always be a snub.  It's not a problem unique to the NBA.  Heck, it exists in youth leagues all over the country.

Hopefully the Pacers can get it turned around but right now they look pretty bad.  Have not watched that much lately since I have watched more college games.

I'm afraid the Pacers are going into a free fall similar to the Hoosiers.  What a shame too.  I truly thought they had a legit chance to win the east.

How cool would it be if the Pacers fell far enough to get Romeo? Although I still don't believe Romeo falls out of the top 10 and it's not likely. It's the only irrational hope that keeps me going to watch Pacers games.

With Oladipo at SG, don't see a need for Romeo.  I guess Romeo could play at SF in a small ball lineup.  He has the length to guard bigger players.

You can cheer for PG

Pau Gasol?  Isn't he like 40 years old now?

Vic's injury just sucked the NBA life out of me this season.  

I can't link on my phone, but there is a very informative article on CBSSPORTS.COM with a Dr. Benner about the injury and what we can expect.

Nope. And when he did play he pretty much dominated his matchup vs Cousins.  Even got in Cousins head a bit. Started following a few Wizards guys last month and the sentiment of why isn't he getting 30 minutes per game is growing. By all accounts Bryant is a fan favorite because of his insane FG% and hustle. 

Sure would be nice to have him opposite of Morgan right now. Haha.

The dude gives it all he has every second he is on the floor.  I really like Thomas.

Pacers are going to be damn sure he's ready before he comes back.  Parker may have come back in 6 months, but he's a different style player with a different role.  I think we could be looking after the all star break next season and would not be surprised if he waited until the start of '20-'21.
