No surprise at all with Kawhi and Warren, but I thought Pau Gasol retired? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I know the Ps don’t have a first rd pick this year(sent to the Bucks) due to signing restricted free agent Brogdon, however, after seeing quite a few college playmakers return to school I’m not so sure there will be someone available In the early 20s that would make an impact in year one or year two or for that matter be a very good role player. A good year to ship your draft pick away for a proven veteran imo if your picking between 20 and 30.

A good year to ship your draft pick away for a proven veteran imo if your picking between 20 and 30. As many have said. Pritchard is really good. Glad he's on our side. I think he said in a radio interview. We don't have mountains or oceans here so we have to really harp the culture part of things and make guys want to come because of that. My biggest thing or complaint is that until the NBA does something to stop these super teams being formed by players I feel like Pacers ceiling is conference finals....unless we can someway add an extra superstar. Big off season coming up. Vic and setting ourselves up for next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Sounds like Romeo has some ligament damage in wrist. Not sure which hand but Stevens said surgery is an option. Just can't wait for this kid to be healthy so we can judge him correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid has tremendous talent but has been snake bit by injuries. Some similarities to EJ, who eventually developed a strong career in Houston. I think Romeo will get there - rooting for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many good series about to kick off! Blazers - Lakers. Are the Lakers much better than their mediocre bubble play? Probably. But missing Bradley and Rondo I think makes them vulnerable and Dame and the Blazers look ready. Dame is playing on another level, just incredible right now. CJ though not sure - looked good against Memphis but not fully healthy and he’s key. Almost everyone picks the Lakers and hey it’s LeBron so sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Blazers win it. How about no actual home court advantage, no LA, no actual LA fans there? Lakers depth is weak. LBJ and Davis will have to really carry them. Pacers - Heat, and Rockets - Thunder. Bring on the animosity and personal feuds! Butler - Warren, CP3-Harden. Pacers and Heat both look really well built for the future, both are good right now. With Westbrook’s quad injury Rockets are vulnerable and the Thunder are playing well, CP and Harden both will be fueled by their playoff disappointments. Both series should be really good. I’m rooting for the Thunder, can’t stand Harden. Hoping to see Vic get back into more of the player he is when healthy, have to think he’ll win one of these games with another clutch shot. Toronto - Brooklyn. Ok Toronto wins and probably well but damn Brooklyn and LeVert have been impressive without their stars. Love how tough they play. That last game against the Blazers showed how good they are. Can see this going 6 if cards fall right. Your C’s - Sixers. C’s are close, think they win this series in 6, maybe 5, but interested to see how much Embiid brings now that he’s freed up without Simmons - better, imo - and you know how motivated he is after last year, and they’ll try to impose size on the C’s. Once the C’s advance it will get really interesting. Bucks, Toronto and the C’s.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of maybe the Bucks-Orlando (is that who they play? Can’t remember) and Toronto-Brooklyn, and potentially the Celtics since the Sixers are missing Simmons (though I agree, Embiid could make that interesting on his own), every other 1st round series has compelling storylines and really interesting matchups. I’ll definitely miss the fans from a playoff intensity aspect, but I also think it’s really interesting that these series are going to be played without the emotional swaying of fans and homecourt advantages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Quote Looking at the draft from a Mavs perspective and they have the 18 and 31 picks. They could use a big. Tillman vs Oturu vs Jalen Smith. There are others in the mix but wondering what the opinion here would be on the Big 10 trio. I like Oturu and how he grew his game. Mavs are one of the more prolific PnR teams in the league and he gets good scouting reports in that area. Losing Powell really hurt them in the PnR game. Tillman seems to be a ready made pro who can defend and there seems little question about his toughness or motor. Don't know if he has any offensive game for the NBA. Smith looks like like he can be the best perimeter player of the 3 but I really like Oturu's shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 SIAP. Romeo with a wrist injury. Again. Boston Celtics’ Romeo Langford suffered torn ligaments in wrist, will ‘probably’ need a procedure in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Utah and Denver in OT - Juwan played 25 min but hasn’t played in a while coaching staff seems to have failed to note that while he went 1-5 for 3 points, along with his 7 boards, he by far leads Utah at +17 on the game. +17 in a game that has been really tight and is in OT is something that should be noted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 So they put O’Neal back in, he’s now 1-6 for 3 points and -20 for the game with 5 fouls (Juwan has no fouls), and Denver has pulled away. Shaking my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
