The Banchero inefficiency argument is getting old. His usage is through the roof. He's meant to be THE guy. He needs help. His efficiency will improve once other guys step up (like Franz, Suggs, KCP). The reason Jalen Williams is as good as he is is because he has SGA on his team. Paolo from day one has had to be the man, and our team wasn't built correctly. But we're getting there.

Indiana's offense allows them to win against anyone and lose to anyone. That's why injuries didn't make a difference. They would have been in there or won against New York and Milwaukee (who they thoroughly beat out in 5 games with healthy Giannis in the regular season) even if they were at 100%. And that was with a hobbled Tyrese as well. Though they got swept by Boston, they played them tighter over 4 games than anyone else in the Playoffs. The Pacers are greater than the sum of their parts. Also, there are several young players who have the chance to take a large leap this year. I wouldn't sleep on Indiana...

As a Pacers fan, why do these guys assume small market fans are just happy if our team plays well? I want a freaking championship every year. I’m still feeling the heartbreak from the 90s and 00s.

The bottom tier teams is the reason why i think the NBA should consider relegating the least performing team in each conference. it will greatly improve competition.

Bontemps so sixers biased like the sixers don’t even have a pf and if Paul George has to play pf they definitely not wining a single playoff series

[@jackm5290]

It amazes me how everyone glosses over the fact that Martin is going to be the starting PF, like I don't see that being very productive at all. And we don't actually know yet what cohesion maxey, joel and PG will have They'll be good but I don't see how they can make it out of the east

@@jackm5290 you can’t have win a championship with a 6’5 small forward as your pf

[@chickenfinger5258]

@@jackm5290 What makes you think Martin is going to be their starting PF? If anything Oubre will play more the 4 than Martin. No one knows exactly what the starting line-up will look like

[@chickenfinger5258]

@@michaelcore9715 It's a good thing they have more than enough draft capital to trade for a better, starting pf by Jan 15th

[@alanalford4702]

I think I think the Celtics will be disappointed ring night. The Knicks crushed the Celtics during the Season. We have the Wing defenders to handle Tatum and Brown. You have no one for KAT or Brunson. There’s a new Power in the East it’s NY.

Day 1038 of being confused as to why anyone puts 1 iota of trust into the 76ers franchise

Botemps is a clown.. literally contradicted himself talking about Oni Toppin
