I know their roster is sort of a weird fit but I think Indy is getting overlooked big time in the East.

I think it's the opposite, most people are expecting them to be better this year. In fact I think they're gonna stink and I've never once been wrong

Agreed, jockeying for second place behind Jokic isn't shameful.

I just learned that Devin Harris sprained his big toe that didn't have experimental surgery. This guy is just unlucky with big toes I guess.

Toe Harris sounds like a plausible 70's ABA name so I see no reason not to think of him that way. Canon updated

My takeaway from the game is dipo looked nervous and needs to pass the ball. Also Russ might actually raise his rebound average to double digits

He always looks nervous, the stupid stuff he does just sometimes ends up falling. It's gonna be nerve-wracking for you but i wish for the best

The NBA has always been that way though so it doesn't matter unless they created a cool system for distributing draft picks. Give the championship winner pick 30, the worst team in the league pick 29, the championship runner up pick 28, second worse 27, and so on.

Some sort of bell curve model where the teams that are right on the cusp of the playoffs get the best picks would be cool and rad. It would also force the worst teams to get better in free agency before they could start getting decent picks.

Just curious, how would teams force themselves to get better at free agency if they're perennial losers who also can't get a draft pick

The best way to build a team is to buy another bad team's lotto picks with aging expensive vets and then become a mediocre playoff team with above average regular season stars.

You can't really spin Boston's situation to be a bad one even if you try to be as stupid and reductive as possible

My favorite Ernie moment is this one time when Shaq was like, "I come from Newark, the school of hard knocks. The one and only, Brick City"

And Ernie's like, "Shaq we aren't talking about your free throws right now."

I liked the time Isiah Thomas said the words "New York is not for everybody" and Ernie started laughing really hard at him and Isiah asked "Why you laugh"
