Yep I’ll do me. I’ll just hope unlike you the Kings can self critique and admit when they’re wrong

I understand how it’s hard to comprehend. Pacers had a major assumption around Haliburton and are reaping the benefits. Some Kings fans saw the leadership and the Nash-like potential he had and obviously so did the Pacers front office. The Pacers also saw what Sabonis did for them and realized...

The takes about had we kept Hali we wouldn’t have made the right moves to build the team are pretty sad rationalizations. Sometimes all you need is to make 1 right move that will snowball in your favor and change the trajectory of the franchise. Our current state is the outcome of...

At what point does it stop being luck when they’ve come back from huge deficits in each of their series and multiple times during the season? I see it as mindset and coaching

The first couple of pages of this thread are pure gold! It really is no wonder why some people on this board are still salty about what Hali has done and what the Pacers have accomplished. This one is my favorite take… Haliburton's game gives me lots and lots of James Harden, all the way down...

I don’t disagree to keep things fair and equitable. Curious why we don’t hear a strong lobby in all the major sports from the 28+ teams that have state income tax. They would easily have the majority vote if it was a measure the owners vote on. Vancouver peeps do get the best of both worlds…...

What’s important about their team construction is everyone buys in and commits to making the extra pass. One of the most unselfish teams I’ve ever seen. They hardly have games where any single player shoots more than 20 fgs. It’s definitely a model to go with if you don’t have a bunch of iso...

The owner of Dutch Bros has a horse racing operation too. They had a horse in the Kentucky Derby that led most of the way til the final stretch, and he apparently is trying to open a track and betting in Oregon. So he definitely has money to throw around.

No doubt Eastern conference has more bottom dwellers that were all tanking for the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes. Between Hornets, Wizards, Nets, Sixers, Raptors they were all in the race. But I can argue top 5 in east was equal to top 5 in west

That’s a lot of mental gymnastics. Cavs 23-7 vs Western conference. Extend that out to 82 games, they still win over 60. Pacers 21-10 vs Western conference You seen any Pacers playoffs games yet? Hali’s defense is a ton better. Still a lot to be desired of, but when he puts some energy in...

It’s so funny seeing all of these takes on the Pacers’ talent. People are saying how the Pacers have surrounded him with talent. Really??? Besides Siakam and Toppin, they are pretty much the same team that was 35-47 two years ago, and a lot worse the year before that. They gave the keys to Hali...

The biggest difference between Fox and Hali? People actually want to play with Hali. Siakam took a quick min and considered playing with Fox and Sabonis and said hell no, even though we were 29-21. He decided to join a .500 team in the Pacers at the time. Keegan would be a star alongside Hali

I don’t know, I think this is a slippery slope. Where do you stop? Teams also subsizidize players in states with high sales tax? Cities with above average real estate tax? The issue is these players make life decisions on things like no state income tax without recognizing they’ll pay more on...

Cavs 0-5 at home to the Pacers this year. 37-5 vs everyone else

Monte is obviously a smart guy. But the impression I got is he wasn’t a great communicator, especially externally. And if you can’t communicate well externally, that tells me you will likely have trouble communicating your ideas internally. He said there were things he was against doing. Well if...
