That looked like it was off of Green.

Pacers lose. Siakam is all kinds of dumb. Down 3 with 7 seconds left inbounding 94 feet away. He dribbles the length of the court and lays it in for 2 with 1 second left. Good for us.

Now they received an all clear and they are going to continue.

Fire alarm going off in the arena. Fans being evacuated, players still on the bench.

Harris did start so not sure what was up with that starting lineup Tweet that had Beasley starting.

Pacers down 17 to Atlanta at the half. Looks like Haliburton is still out.

Hmmm.

You have to wonder if that is Merc waiving the white flag until the new regulations in 2026. I watched a little of the first episode and Lewis made comments that he felt Mercedes can't win this year.

Troy Weaver was all kinds of awful when he was here. But one thing he should get credit for is that Isaiah Stewart extension. Stew is locked up at a flat $15 million per year until the summer of 2028. That last season is a team option. A lot can happen between now and then but if he continues this play I imagine they try to extend him in the 2026-27 season. His deal is also very attractive on the trade market if they decide to go that way. We will finally convey the pick this year that we traded to acquire Stew. We drafted him 16th and as the standings are right now, we would convey #19 to Minnesota. I think most, if not all, teams in the league would trade #19 this year for Stew.

Do you want Detroit to win the next 5 championships or never wear teal again? I would take the titles but I would have to think on it a few.

I think Indiana might be the slightly better team. But Milwaukee has something they dont and that is two guys who can win a series by themselves. Worse, as good as Ausar is on defense, Dame and Giannis are very difficult assignments for him. And who guards the one Thompson doesn't guard? The Bucks are a bad matchup for us IMO.

Mavs are in some trouble. They only had 8 available players for their last game. One of those guys (Prosper) is now listed as out for tonights game. If nobody else comes back they will only have 7 players which I believe is the minimum you need not to forfeit. Included in those 8 that did play last game are their two way players. So no help there. They don't have cap space to sign anyone to a 10 day contract. So no help there either.

There is an option in gmail to turn that off. I think it's settings->inbox->categories Just uncheck all the subcategories then everything should go in the primary inbox only. Dumb that you have to do it but it might be easier than changing email services.

Not trying to celebrate a players injury. But Jalen Brunson left last night Knicks game with what looked like a bad lower leg injury. No word yet on what it is. Even if Detroit cant make up the 5 games on NYK it could mean something in the playoffs if he has to miss a lot of time.

I think Cade is third team at a minimum. So we are definitely paying the supermax.

Yep. I'm fine if someone puts a sear on for taste. Just don't tell me it seals or locks in the juices.

Just skimmed it real fast and it looks like a decent argument. My one critique would be that All NBA is now positionless. Not sure it changes anything, but you can't just compare Cade to guards.

Pacers lose. Haliburton and Mathurin both were out with an injury.

Also, KAT had 44 the last time he played against Butler before the trade deadline.
