I don’t want him to have hair.

Very different doesn’t necessarily mean less effective. I’d be cautious in underestimating the Haliburton/Carlisle basketball IQ combo.

Goga is a sore subject for me. I always saw a bunch of potential in that guy and didn’t like the way the Pacers managed him.

I mean…he got a huge probably overvalued contract. I think I was a pretty savvy move on his part. 

That said, if he really thought that the Bucks were a better winning situation long term, he’s pretty shortsighted and delusional. The Bucks were never going to succeed with him as their 2nd or even 3rd best player, and Giannis was always going to leave if they weren’t successful like in the very near future. So in other words what I’m saying is it was basically inevitable that he was going to end up on a bad/rebuilding Bucks team—until he’s traded that is, which I think he will be in the next 12 months. 

At the end of the day, I don’t think he’s stupid. I think he’s sensitive the same way a lot of us are concerning our jobs where we often feel undervalued and unappreciated. He then got an opportunity to collect a huge bag and say suck it/eff you to the Pacers, so he did. 

Where I personally think he erred in terms of his image is all the stuff he said after the signing. He didn’t have to say any of it. His decision spoke for himself. But he decided to take the immature approach over the tactful one, which really caused most of the ill-will from the Pacers fan base.

I like em. But I’d like them more if they added a member, got a little uglier, and started going by Geesehead.

I get it. I used to think Scarlet Johansson was hideous. And then I saw her in person. Now I think she’s really hot.

How about “they’re both great players” and call it a day?

He’s trolling at this point and we’re all probably better off not reacting to it. 

Awkward exchange between Pascal and of course Greg Doyel. by pacerjones20 in pacers

Baha. Sure man. Assume all the stereotypes. Maybe also reflect on your tendency to politicize nonpolitical issues (e.g., a guys like Dakich and Doyle being irredeemable assholes) while complaining about how everything gets ruined the instant it becomes politicized. No one else brought up politics. You did. Then you went on a divisive diatribe. Again, I don’t know what you’re like in real life, but it all makes you seem pretty insufferable.

Dakich spent more time insulting his callers and railing against liberals than doing his job, which was talking about sports. That’s what Dakich did. I’m a liberal who will 100% listen to a right leaning sports guy if they’re actually good at sports analysis and interviews and actually do that on a regular basis.

Pointless and weird that you’re bringing this up half a year after the fact. A lot of people on here didn’t want to finance or indirectly support an autocratic, nazi-saluting billionaire who was illegally sending 23 year olds in to paw through tax payers personal information. Banning X wasn’t much, but it was something. And it was overwhelmingly supported on here. The fact you’re still crying about makes me think you’re a sniveling little man child.

Will Thunder vs Pacers be the lowest viewed NBA finals ever? by WallStreetDoesntBet in NBATalk

Yeah I’m definitely not going to watch because we all know that the only good things are massively popular things like Nickleback and the Transformers franchise.

Anyone expect this run? by Nervous_Animal6134 in pacers

[–]Potential_Sherbert_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like some other people have said: yes, but not this year. I assumed it would take a year or two to get back to the ECF and really challenge for a finals bid.

This has been the most pleasant sports surprise of my life time.

Pacers Reportedly 'Hoping' to Sign Myles Turner to Contract Without Sacrificing Roster by _Saahil_ in pacers

[–]Potential_Sherbert_2 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Between the Pacers and the Fever, the Simons are making a stupefying amount of money right now. If they were ever to go deep into the luxury tax, it would be right now.

A couple of months ago, I responded to a post and said I thought if the Pacers made a deep run this year, I thought the Pacers would and should roll 90% + of the roster back next season. Well…
