I count 8 without resorting to MJB;

1. Jalen

6. Mitch
7. Deuce
8. Precious


It really sucks that Burks isn't playable because the line up could use another shooter


I think there's a legit injury going on.

That is hot garage. Garage reaction for a garage person. Enjoy your fine. He's a free agent after this, so he's probably out of the league. Well, hopefully out of the league, anyway.

well, it depends. so far randle has been dismal in the playoffs. twice. we can assume he won't be in the future but who really knows. plus even at this age lebron is clearly the better defender. put it like this, with jalen sitting or just off, who are you more confident in that they could carry us ? does it mean we're winning a title for sure ? no. it might just be denver's time right now and nobody is for a few years.

we are so lucky, that we aren't in the west.

Obi had a great series in general.

12.3 ppg on 49% FG with 5.8 rpg in only 19.2 mpg.

He’s not a star, but those are top shelf per minute numbers and Carlisle uses him way better than Thibs. He’s rebounding more and playing solid D too.

I hope we kick Indy’s ass, but we could use Obi now with no Julius. Hopefully Precious can actually get some minutes against them.

he is just a good basketball player. he didn't become a star, and probably never will, but he is flat out good and the takes in here were beyond bs.

Obi is a unique and fun player.

He comes in and finds ways to score even though he almost never directly creates for himself with the ball. Just knows how to get open and finish. Became a 40% three point shooter too.

He’s a perfect fit in Indiana, playing 20-25 mpg in an uptempo system with a pass first PG. He was dealt a sh*tty hand here. There definitely seems to be some merit with Thibs holding certain players back when we see how RJ and Obi have flourished. We used Obi all wrong last year.

I know everyone was saying Precious > Obi, but Precious cant even play unless he’s as a small 5 with his non-shooting. We were losing with Precious as a starter in February-early March and it wasn’t until Deuce took over for him and then OG came back that we got right again.

Precious is obviously a better defender and rebounder than Obi, but Obi would probably be playing 15-20 mpg now since he’s a better fit with Isaiah/Mitch. Of course when we trade him for nothing Julius misses half the season and playoffs.

That was beautiful. I forgot some of the other bull crap he pulled. Hope he's a goner. Hope the league doesn't support his Podcast as they do with others.

if you're not an overly sensitive fan who can't handle people talkin a lil sht about your team.



They’re too good to not be around after next season. If not TNT then it’ll be some other channel/platform. NBA can’t lose them.

People can talk all the shyt they want about them, and some of it’s warranted, but they know they love them deep down and will be sorry when they’re gone.


Everything im reading is Ernie isn't leaving tnt. He is the glue of that show. Without him it wouldn't be the same.

Orlando seems to be in a good spot in terms of young talent

but

they need to start preparing for a reality where Wagner and banchero top out as #2 type players.

went from a future star to just mediocre in 2 years. i'm not sure they would get a haul for him now in a trade. they probably missed their window to do that.
