    I’m surprised it was a sweep, but did you really think the Pacers would beat Miami without Sabonis and with a still recovering Oladipo? Miami is really good. Honestly, I’m glad the Celtics are avoiding them in the second round. 

    I didn’t think we’d win the series but it’s inexcusable to get swept. The Heat are good but not THAT good IMO. We got outplayed by guys like Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, and a past-his-prime Goran Dragic. McMillan doesn’t seem like he’s the answer. Very mediocre in his career.

    Though I have never been to NYC. The thin crust  NYC style looks  delicious to me.  ( I'm looking at you... Lost in '76  LOL )

    I love deep dish out of Chicago.  In fact ,have it shipped out to the mile household from time to time.

    And love St. Louis style....with their special cheese.

    Here's a You Tube Vid. of a guy that I follow. Who travels the country. Reviewing pizza.  Caution . Language :

    Barstool Pizza Review - Maroni's Pizza House (Scranton, PA)

    So. Hoosier Sports Nation. What's your fav pizza. Including toppings ?

     

     

    Even living in St. Louis for so many years, I could never come around on provel cheese. Love me some Chicago deep dish but like thin crust too (Donato’s is clutch).

    I'm intrigued to say the least. I love players who have the intelligence to match their physical gifts and this young man has it all.  I keep going back to Nojel's post-Michigan announcement (and I know I'm picking on the kid, but wow...) night and day difference in intelligence. This young man heading into his sophomore year sounds considerably more intelligent than Nojel after three years of college.  I think that's the secret ingredient here between going nowhere like Nojel was doing to major improvement like Victor Oladipo made in his time at IU.  Desire is one thing but I think intelligence plays a major role in development and that bodes well for Dra.  He sounds like a smart kid and I see him making huge leaps in development  as a result.

    Justin Smith is the counter to my argument although I would argue that he did grow his game...just not like I'd expect someone with his level of intelligence should. Makes me wonder if he simply didn't push himself like he should have.

    That aside, I see huge potential in Dra much like I see with Kristian Lander.  I hope he keeps the pedal down and reaches that potential. 

    Why bring Nojel into a conversation that has zero to do with him? The guy isn’t the most intelligent guy ever but he’s also not an idiot. Nojel’s downfall wasn’t because of lack of intelligence. His downfall was letting his mom run the show.  Lack of maturity no question but he’s not dumb. Seems like a beating a dead horse situation at this point.

    Knew he was up there didn't know it was the record. 21 rbi....wow. Given pitching specialty I'm curious if that one will be touched anytime soon. Has to be a decade or so old now.

    Yeah that record might sit for a long time.
