That Zion combined with Embiid puts the 76ers over their charter flight weight limit. It doesn't work....Zion is owed 10.7 million and Ben is owed 33. Ben for Ingram works. NO would have to package a couple more people to make the Zion deal work and it wouldn't likely make sense....they would likely get a 3rd team (with cap space) involved if they wanted to ship Zion for a max deal to swap for Ben...someone like the Thunder for example....who would likely want a pick to take on the salary filler.

IU Scott Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Bad loss for the Pacers at Denver tonight losing 101-98. Denver was without Jokic, Porter and Murray. A bad call really hurt the Pacers. Down 2 with ainute left and Sabonis went to the basket and was clobbered. Denver challenged the call and was over turned. Of no foul the Pacers should have gotten the ball since it went out on Denver. They called a ju.p ball which Denver stoled the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this before, I'm always stunned at how the refs don't know who the serial floppers are! Like, if you see Marcus Smart, Kyle Lowery, any Morris twin, etc., flailing their arms and flying to the court, shouldn't all refs just assume that it's a flop? How do they not know that? With all of that said, I am loving the new points of emphasis this year with not allowing offensive players to bait defenders into fouls, not allowing offensive players to basically jump backwards into defenders on their dribble or when they go up for a shot, etc. I haven't watched every game of course, but in the handful of Celtics games I've seen with their local announcers on NBATV, a consistent theme from Mike Gorman and Brian Scalabrine (their TV announcers) has been how these points of emphasis have created much, much better flow in games this season. I know players are complaining (Harden, Trey Young, etc.) but the games are much better IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 I have to wonder if the Pacers will ever have their whole lineup together. Last night Brogdon came back after missing a couple of games but Lavert. missed last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Myles Turner with some fire with him and Gobert going after each other. Turner blocked Gobert's shot then He pulled Turner to the floor and then the pushing started. Eventually both were ejected along with Mitchell and Ingle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Watching the Pacers game and tonight is a reason I don't like how their is a set pattern for subbing. Justin Holiday was hot coming off the bench with 19 points. The Pacers built the lead to 20 but at the 7 minute mark we brought on 3 starters back in. After that the Sixers cut the leaf to 10 by the half. I never liked taking out a guy who was hot and Holiday was 7-7 with 5 3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Per CBS: Duarte is perhaps the most developed rookie in his class at this stage in the season. Not surprising considering his 24 years old, but it's still impressive for a rookie to average 16 points while shooting 44.7 percent from the field and an even more ridiculous 42 percent from deep. In fact, his 3-point percentage right now would rank second all-time in league history among rookies who averaged five or more 3s a game in their first season. Obviously that could change over the course of the season, but that's just how great of a start Duarte has gotten out to. Even better, when Duarte's on the floor, the Pacers outscore opponents by 36 points, making him invaluable to Indiana's success going forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...I wanted us to trade up...but happy what we got where we got him. To think Golden State was one pick away from having this stud on THAT team....wow. Rookie of the year standings in my opinion so far..sure there are some guys scoring a bit more and higher profile but when it comes to winning it's these 3 by far....and Mobley and Barnes have gone back and forth for me. 1. Scottie Barnes 2. Evan Mobley 3. Chris Duarte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
