IU Scott

He would average 50 with the defense that is played today

I would say players like Tisdale, Williams and Kellogg ate better than any Pacer today.

Well it is obvious we have different opinions on this. Who would start over Jabaar, Magic and Worthy. Also for that Lakers team Byron Scott was a perfect 2 guard. That team was about getting the rebound and getting out on the fast break by filling the lanes. Who would start over Bird, McHale and Parrish and Johnson and Ainge was a great back court. Back then it was about putting pieces together over just putting the most talent on the court.

I guess I disagree because I look at players who play the majority of the minutes and see players today that wouldn't have seen big minutes back then. I look at the Hawks and maybe one player would have a chance to start for the Lakers or Celtics of the 80's. That is how I compare the eras and not the bottom of the roster.

But expansion dilutes the talent even more than it is already is.

Well if you look at the population for this year it could go down because of the pandemic

Alabama

Maybe it is my bias but when I look at the rosters of the top teams I just see the teams of the 80's and 90's having a lot more depth. I look at some of the top teams today and can't believe some of the players who actually play big minutes. I think to myself that no way some of these players would have played for those Lakers or Celtics teams of the 80's.

I would say Utah with Malone and Stockton was really good. The Sun's had Barkley which is one of the best players ever to play. Even Portland with Drexler was a really good team. The Pacers in 98 should have beaten the Bulls in game 7 but was not given a fair shake by the officials.

That is your opinion which is fine but I disagree when it comes to pro Sports

I think if you subtracted a few teams and then distribute those players then it would make each team stronger

I agree with you about expansion because I think it hurts the product. I know it will never happen but they need to cut the league by 4-6 teams. I think that about all the pro leagues and not just the NBA. There were always super teams but they were built by the orginization and not by the players. The Lakers were able to make trades for draft picks which turned out to be #1 draft pick. They got Magic and Worthy this way.

We will see what the Reds is made up over the next 11 game home stand. They still have two games on the road trip at Minnesota but after that it gets really tough. Atlanta 4 games. Philadelphia 1 game make up. SD 3 games. Cubs 3 games

When I got out I saw two people at the McDonald's tying up their horses and going inside

Reds just got swept in a four game series to SD 3-2 in today's game. For me baseball has to be the most frustrating sport to he a fan of in all of sports. Even if your team is good you will have to go throughout 65-70 losses a year. For anyone who Hates losing it is tough to follow your baseball team. The Reds came into this series having won 13 out of 16 and 6 straight. SD was coming in having list 13 out of 17 and only scoring 30 runs in those 13 losses. It appears the Reds can beat the bad to mediocre teams but can't beat the contenders.

I am in in Decatur county right just got done with my last stop of the night. Stopped at Taco Bell for dinner before heading back to Indy

The last month of the season he almost averaged a triple double

Also I he last two years Sabonis averaged 12.3 rebs so that is pretty good if you ask me

He shot 33 percent from 3 this year on 2.6 attempts.

Reds lose their 3rd straight on SF losing 7-5. The bullpen gave up a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 8th to Tatis backup. Tatis went out with a shoulder injury but to the bullpen it didn't matter Twice the Reds pitchers got the first two batters out but gave up a 3 run double and a 2 run homer. You have to be able to finish off an inning once you got the first to batters out. In the 3 games the Reds have been outscored 21-11 and out homered 10-1.; They are now 9-18 against the west and are 10 games over .500 against the rest of baseball

The west division has been a Reds killer and if you take them out the Refs has a very good record. Their record against each team. Arizona 1-5 SF 1-6 SD 0-2 LA 2-1 Colorado 5-2

Well it was fun while it lasted but the Refs are back to their old selves especially the bullpen. Going to the 9th they are down 8-2 and the bullpen had given up 5 runs in 5 innings. The offense hasn't been much better the last 4 games. They scored 10 runs in the first game of the road trip but they have only scored 10 in the last 4 games.

SD hitting had been horrible the last 4 weeks but they are feasting on the Reds pitching. In the last 13 games they scored 30 runs but the 12 innings against the Reds they have scored 10 with 7 home runs

Simmons couldn't even lead LSU to the tournament in college

I don't know how much longer the Refs can just keep putting Suarez in the lineup every night. Last year in 57 games he hit .202 and in 65 games this year he is at .161. I couldn't care less about his 14 home runs. To start the season he went 4-50 with RISP. And you can't have that with a player who hays in the middle of the lineup. When I heard his goal lady year and this year was to hit 50 homers I knew the Refs was in trouble. He is more worried about home runs over making contact.
