Disappointing news to start the season. Hopefully he's not out too long. 

 

Watching the baseball game, but flipped over during commercial.  Saw the 2nd unit out there, but no JHS.  Checked the box online and saw he was not even dressed.  Googled him to see what was going on.  Did not know about this until then.  Bummer.

Pacers?  143 points

Pacers have, IMO, one of the deepest rosters in the league. They’re going to put up a lot of big numbers this year if Hali stays healthy.

The Pacers problem is Hali is, sans a Mathurin year two improvement, the only guy who can hang toe to toe with other teams stars. We just don’t have the multiple big guns teams at the top do.

That's what happens when the two best players on the other team are Jordan Poole and Kyle Kouzma 🤣.

Taking a shot there at the Wizards, not the Pacers. Pacers will be tough this year. 

Yeah.  I think they are in the race for top 3 pick.  Poole will still think more highly of himself than he should.

Yep…Pacers will win @45 games but bail in the first rd because they will play hard every night and won’t take games off but come playoffs won’t have the fire power to play against teams using shorter benches and with star power.

Not sure I’m ready to go that far. Pacers could win a first round series depending on matchup.

With this deep bench the starters won't have to play huge minutes

Pacers bench is playing so well. Saturday the bench outscored the Cacs bench 61-11. So far tonight the bench had 11 of the 30 Pacers points. Nesmith has been playing do well and that trade has worked out well

 

 

I spoke to soon because the Pacers are playing really bad tonight. They are down 88-86 to the Bulls with 8 minutes to go in the game. They can't hit their 3's and been careless with the ball.

The quality of officiating in pro sports is at a all time low. Just now in the Pacers game and the Pacers called for a foul. The replay showed no foul but some how they didn't over turn the call.

Agree on the replay system in the NBA, I'm glad they're doing it but it needs work. 

It's pretty good in the NFL where they actually try to get the call right. I feel like in the NBA with replays that the refs are trying to prove themselves right at all costs.
