Here’s what I appreciate about what Portland’s doing. They’ve stayed patient since off loading Dame and CJ, they’ve defined a vision around defense and size, they have a coach who regardless of what you think underscores that identity, all while a managing a roster where it felt like half the...

Portland’s defense was already pretty good. Now they have Holiday, Camara, and Sharpe. If Ayton could ever stay motivated, they’ve got him as a rim protector, or Clingan up next. Scoot will take over the secondary scoring from Simons. And I think they have Avidja penciled in as their primary...

For the entire playoffs, Hali had by far the highest cumulative plus/minus of any Pacer at +132. Surprisingly, McConnell was at -34. Mathurin was the lowest at -76. As talented as he is, his BBIQ is not great; prefers contested shots to wide open ones. This season, the Pacers were 4-5 without...

Congrats to the Thunder! SGA-JDub is probably the best scoring duo out there, and when you surround them with elite defense and elite 3pt shooting they’re pretty unstoppable. JDub is the dual threat scorer we could really use. Pacers had an amazing season and proved a ton of people wrong...

The one defensive adjustment I noticed from the Pacers is they were giving Chet the 3 and daring him to take it. For whatever reason, the whole series they’ve been playing up on him and letting him drive, and he’s pretty unstoppable close to the basket. So packing the paint with Turner allowed...

Stop changing your words and quoting part of what you said. You’re tiresome

Fox is a great downhill scorer who defers to below average jump shot. Efficient scorer and decent 3pt shooter, he is not

Into what? You’re bringing him into a finals discussion. Dude can’t even lead a team to the playoffs outside of 1 season

Game 3 was bad!?!

Cmon dude. Let’s not even bring Fox into this. Dude got every opportunity to be that star, and that’s not him clearly

And Dort only started shooting around 40% from 3 these last few seasons. He was a pretty mediocre shooter his first 3 seasons and in college. It helps though when you’re wide open that often

JDub is so freaking good. Lot of teams missed on him

Wallace, Dort, Wiggins, Giddey, Williams. I mean that’s a lot of home grown talent

Daigneault proving he’s a top coach. Great adjustments since game 3. Getting SGA some early rest, more Wiggins, more Wallace, trusting their depth that they didn’t do in game 3

Williams has proven to be that star. Elite slasher, great left hand. I knew we took a deep look at him, our draft position pretty much dictated Keegan, but this is why teams like OKC are where they are. Hit on most of their draft picks and develop their guys
