I know the 76ers will win the series but OG with a cool 26 last night in defeat. That Bucks/Bulls series all of a sudden became interesting with Middleton injury too. I liked the pick of Leaf at the time of the draft because I liked him at UCLA. He wasn't overly athletic but he could shoot the 3. He just plain did not develop into what the Pacers were hoping. They'd been looking for a stretch 4 for years. I think he was partially a product of playing with Lonzo Ball but McMillan also did not help him either. That said OG/John Collins should've been the pick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing I'm not more invested in the NBA or this would make me ill every time I thought of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only happens about twice a year for me. I see OG on highlights in the playoffs for Toronto....and the Pacers are in South Beach or Caribbean already. Will be the same next year in late April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main excuse was OG was coming off the torn ACL. I wanted the Pacers to draft him anyways, but I semi understand. He also does have a long injury history: https://www.foxsports.com/nba/og-anunoby-player-injuries But it's hard not to think "what if". TJ Leaf seemed like a decent pick, but man, what a bust.

I hated passing on OG…that said when Donavon Mitchell fell out of the top 10 I was screaming for the Pacers to trade up every pick until he went off the board at 13….of course now he probably would have been demanding a trade away from the Pacers so what do I know. I just thought with trading PG we was going to need that athletic wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Game 1 of this series where someone chained themselves to one of the hoops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it was aimed at the owner, I thought it was a league wide thing. Makes way more sense now. Well.... not really, but at least it's just happening there haha I see your Cs are playing well, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See....this is when we need guys like Charles Oakley or Antonio Davis back in the league. Ain't nobody crazy enough to try that &$^% with guys like that on the floor. Hell, one good staredown and a muscle twitch from one of those guys and those protesters would be across the Canadian border before you could blink. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
