Hoosierhoopster Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Anthony Davis at the All Star Game said he never said Boston was not on his list. He said he'll look at all of the proposals. Of course, he also said every team in the NBA is on his list .... lol ... but his comments do highlight you can never believe an agent, or for that matter, the stupid comments of a parent. Parents really should just shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing with the Knicks is how incredibly bad their front office has been. i wonder if all the talk about KD and Kyrie to the Knicks over the summer has any legs. They gave up on Porzingis, and building through the draft, to free up space for 2 max level players to go with drafting. If they land KD (i’m Skeptical but who knows with KD), they will get back in the hunt quickly. But if they don’t, and can’t fill those spots with elite stars, the dumpster fire will continue in full burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case, we cleared cap space and got rid of a player who didn't want to be there. Best case, weve got our own Eastern Bloc forming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 As a reminder that there have been and probably are dirty refs out there, this story on Tim Donaghy is an interesting read: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25980368/how-former-ref-tim-donaghy-conspired-fix-nba-games This nugget from the story: "If you looked at the stats," said one gambler in The Office at the time, "you could see he was calling more fouls on the team he bet against and less fouls on the team he bet on. That was obvious." Said another: "Did I assume he was fixing the games? Yeah, I did. But I didn't give a s---, because it was great information. From 2003 to 2007, we didn't miss a game. Any game that he reffed we had a wager on." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Am I the only one who thinks with the moves Portland made they can be the second best team in the West? I'm not convinced I think they're better than OKC, but I'm not convinced they aren't now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think their D still needs work, but they’re definitely good. Chip on the shoulder from last playoffs’ sweep to, could be dangerous. Honestly the West is a gauntlet. GS, Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets, Portland, Jazz, Spurs, and then teams that are climbing fast like Sacto, Lakers with LBJ, ugh.

5fouls Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Is Sabonis the leading candidate for the 6th man of the year in the NBA this season? If not, who is his competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Thomas Bryant came extremely close to accidently punching an official celebrating a block tonight against the Pacers.

The Donaghy's of the world have made me unfortunately skeptical about officials when I see one or two who consistently are making bad calls or controversial calls. I should start tracking the spreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another really positive is he took his benching like a man and followed it up with 23 and 12. Obviously biased but to me it's insane the Pacers didn't draft Bryant or Yogi in 2nd round....or at the very least give them a look. I'm still ticked we let OG go to Toronto and took Leaf. All 3 have proven and are proving plenty of GM's don't know what their looking for in NBA players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 have proven and are proving plenty of GM's don't know what their looking for in NBA players. To be fair, the Pacers second round pick was after Bryant was taken. Leaf in the first over guys like OG and Kuzma is looking pretty painful for the Cers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Given that we have Turner and Sabonis, Bryant was not an area of need for the Pacers. Edited February 24, 2019 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks though, think of all those games just one dirty ref changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
