You don’t get part of his salary paid and extra draft pick if he isn’t going to miss decent amount of time. Hoping for an easy biopsy. My dad had something strange show up on a ct scan that was on an internal rib. Dr gave up on the biopsy and said we will just keep an eye on it annually. Really hoping for the kids sake this is nothing/benign. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Vic thanks Pacers fans following his trade to the Rockets. Wouldn't be so quick to bash Vic, there's also a link to the underlying contract talks and the Pacers taking advantage of his hot start. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2021/01/17/pacers-news-victor-oladipo-thanks-pacers-fans-he-moves/4199991001/?utm_source=indystar-Indiana Pacers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=baseline&utm_term=hero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he received some bad advice but I love the way he plays. After PG scorned us I swore no more jerseys for us but I bought 2 Vic jerseys 2 years ago for my boys. Between all our favorite players and teams LBJ and TY Hilton are the only jerseys we have that are current. Ayden has a jersey collection of about 50 jerseys most picked up from Once upon a child for about 5 bucks each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really interested to see if this Harden - Kyrie - KD experiment works or flops. I thought the Harden - Westbrook experiment would fail, there’s only 1 basketball. I think this experiment will fail too because I don’t see how Kyrie and Harden’s games can mesh well. Ball dominant, and KD is as well. But I do think, like tonight, that Harden and KD are dangerous, and I kind of think the 3 will do well early on, on the energy, but I think it goes South. But I could be wrong, interested to watch it play out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Harden looked good with Durant...he looks rejuvenated with the trade. Not sure how his new restaurant in Houston will fare though lol... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.click2houston.com/features/2021/01/15/james-hardens-restaurant-thirteen-gets-roasted-by-the-internet/%3foutputType=amp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 That was playoff caliber ball tonight. Brooklyn needs a mobile 5 though...losing Allen will haunt them if they don’t land someone else. Jordan is a little past his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Vic picking right up with the Rockets, 13-23 for 32 points, 9 assists, 5 boards (did have 7 TO's). Kind of cool to see him playing with EJ -- Gordon back, went 9-17 for 21. Two all time IU greats on the floor together. Rockets are missing a piece, but not far off from being a pretty good squad given time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant is pretty dang unselfish....not sure about the other two...I’m sure if things go well it will work ok but Kyrie and Harden probably will have words if they start losing.

Like I said I could be wrong, but Harden and Kyrie are ball dominant dudes and Kyrie is a head case. Then there’s Kyrie’s awful experience in Boston, not to mention his bizarre behavior so far this year. But for sure the talent is unquestionable, so we’ll see.

NotIThatLives Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Harden is a wild player. He's so ball dominant but yet he does pass and passes really well. He hasn't averaged under 7.5 assists per game in going on 6 seasons. This season with a bunch of guys he didn't want to play with he averages 10 and in 2 games with the nets he's killing it averaging 13. Kyrie's beat year with Lebron was a 6.1. best season was with celtics at 6.9. He thinks too highly of himself.

Hint his name doesn’t start with a D or an H. Kyrie is almost a 40% 3pt shooter...he can play off the ball just fine...but with those 3 not only are they all incredible scorers they all are perhaps the best 1-1 players in the game. Harden and Kyrie are perhaps the two best ball handlers in the league. Let’s see what happens...no matter what it should be epic lol.

ATX_sig Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Can the Mavs/pacers game be a 2 on 2 with Sabonis/Brogdon vs Luka/KP? I assume Levert, Warren, and Turner are out. The Mavs are made up of their G-League guys, KP, Luka and few of their secondary bench guys. Maybe Hardaway will play with his injured groin and shoot 0 for 12. I expect that DFS, Maxi, Richardson and Powell won't play though richardson may have a shot to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
