*looks at personnel* Wow what a surprise.

How the hell are they 11th in DRTG with such bad 3pt defense is what I wanna know. Why wouldn't it take injuries? You don't typically delve into your 12th, 13th and 14th men just at a moment's notice.

Overall, I think any offensive hesitance on Keon's part is a lot better masked if he's starting with these other high usage options, while it's a lot more glaring on the bench unit. Exact opposite for Huerter, he's never going to get any shot attempts and since he provides nothing else, he's...

Huerter's never going to do anything if you sign an all star to play the souped up Barnes role and all the increased usage that implies. He already ended up looking invisible as is when we promoted Keegan offensively last year.

Yeah, I don't like this after seeing it. What happens if you sign DDR to play the role Barnes did last year with the higher usage befitting an all-star? What's that do to the guy who's only value is provided if he's taking and making shots? No coincidence that Huerter only took 4 shots...

You have to wonder what to do if you're the Wolves. Gobert was a win-now move with a limited window. Contracts and age are going to pile up with this core even if Ant is 22, their best chance was probably this year.

I'm not sure it's gonna matter how they response, because I don't think the Celtics are gonna rest on their laurels for Game 2 since this wasn't exactly a decisive win they could feel good about.

This was up there with one of the Kings chokejobs this year.

Look man, I get it. I was doing the same thing when the Kings were doing their normal 28 win shenanigans and Luka was being generational at the age of 21 while Bagley was pouting on the bench. But the Pacers Mickey Mousing just ain't the same thing. Hell, even the Celtics should they draw...

You REALLY wanted this Pacers run to make the Kings look bad. But unfortunately for you, it turned out to be Mickey Mouse.

Pass first PGs being bad in the playoffs narrative staying undefeated.

Pretty much, and the combination of the Hali type players to fizzle out in the playoffs. Not to mention, he's the youngest one in his second year so I'll think he'll easily eclipse them before long.

Chet>Paolo>Hali>Maxey

See, Lakers should've let us finish above them. The way our season ended is better is showing your a** on national TV. This has to be demoralizing. Literally nothing the Lakers do matters.

Lol. Lmao, even.
