dgambill Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) My favorite dark horse of the draft would love the Pacers to move back up into the top 12 again with a second pick and land this kid. I say kid because we drafted a veteran last year. His measurables are off the charts and his numbers are crazy efficient. I know it’s a gamble but Pacers have lacked athleticism for so long….would be happy with a pairing of Daniels and Eason or Ivey and Eason.

dgambill Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 I look at Boston with their size and interchangeability and I see Halliburton, Duarte, Daniels, Eason….that’s nice interchangeable parts right there. Throw in an Isaiah Jackson…Brissett and maybe Jalen Smith…that’s a young and athletic team. Might not win a ton of games but a lot of nice pieces to build off of and could add another lottery pick next year. I’m big into doubling up this year and maybe even next year if possible by trading Heild, Brogdon, and Turner. I don’t want to try tanking 3-4 years and building it out in 6-7 years…double up this and next and hope to be back in the playoffs in 3 years and build up after that.

dgambill Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Not my way of building a team but heard people saying we could be interested in Ayton. For a deal to work it would likely look something like this unless other teams were involved. I could see Brogdon spelling Paul at the point and Turner giving more rim protection. Fits their timeline for winning now if Ayton is walking. Just don’t want Pacers wrapping up their cap into a center.

Though I'm not sure Langford is long for the NBA. I could see him in Europe or the G-League after his deal is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was Michael fans growing up…I was a Dominque fan. Still think he got robbed in 88. He was no slouch playing the game either….although @BGleas will appreciate this one a little more because once again the Celtics came out on top. 88 was a rough year for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Should be a good second half. Doubt Steph picks up cheapies and he is cooking when on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like one team gets too much momentum the refs have to reel the series back in and control the narrative game to game. I’ll say this…college basketball refs are TERRIBLE but NBA is only slightly better. Steph has had a little help tonight but not nearly enough consistently in this series. By game 5 and maybe 6…he will be gassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Celtics have gotten a decent whistle in this game, Tatum should have about 6 more free throw attempts at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 I like a lot about both these teams while being a Pacer fan and having no dog in the fight. I’ll say this….refs suck overall. Both teams have complaints and depending on who you ask … @BGleas or @KoB2011 which ever fan you are you are going to see it your way. Been times on both sides getting bad calls and it mostly just seems the refs are trying to control the series more than letting the games play out.
