But to me a neutral fan, I’d take Tatum over all those guys besides Joker. The dude is unbelievable. Agree on Joker. He did get some of that criticism for not having a ton of playoff success. And agree, he's phenomenal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 For the people that follow the Pacers more closely. It seems or feels like once a week or every other week we lose a game they have no business losing. What gives there? Just a bad night or missing something. This team is infinitely better but just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is infinitely better but just curious. I’ve been watching them a lot more this season and defense is a foreign concept a lot of nights with them. That leads them to getting burned by lesser teams fairly regularly because all those NBA guys can put it in the basket when you give them a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I believe I heard last week that the Pacers led the league in wins over the top 8 and tied for lead with losses to bottom 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are simultaneously fun and frustrating to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women’s pro is much more team oriented imo as it takes a lot more than a couple superstars like men. Edited March 1 by dgambill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According tot he Fever its in 45 days now. The Fever will become the new team for anyone that has followed CC closely and for many within a 6 to 8 hour drive I would think. How many daughters in cities like St louis, CIncy louisville Kansas City etc are going to want to become Fever fans and begging Mom and Dad to take them to see the Fever. This is huge for the franchise, like her or not the Fever will have the most popular WNBA player in the league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still whines and baits for calls but honestly, who doesn't. If she's ours, unless she does some egregious stuff, she will win much of the city and state over. Idk about corn flakes though, that's a little extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The max in the WNBA is $235k, but still, thats not a lot for an athlete. Lots of those ladies could earn more doing something besides basketball.
