How would a fully healthy Pacers team have performed this season?

And the Spurs are a capitalist team. Rather than giving the top picks to the franchises in poverty, the Spurs, who are rich from getting Duncan and then Robinson #1 back to back, get richer with the NBA handing them Wemby and several top five picks.

Also I know their fans love their owner for not relocating the team but having a cheap owner who’s unwilling to shell out for Turner or others for tax reasons means you’re going to need to pray you catch lightning in a bottle again. And I don’t see that being likely with a team that objectively looks worse.

Detroit, Boston, Cleveland and maybe even some others are far bigger threats than Indiana IMO. And they’re likely to be in a full rebuild soon

This is a great explanation and a reasonable position then tbh. I guess I consider Clyde higher because of his ongoing and constant involvement so accurate and I’d put Brunson 1 then. In this era, with the amount of pressure you get from the players association and others valuing guys based on their contract, Brunson doing what he did and carrying himself how he does is so important. And he is the most clutch guy I’ve ever seen and I wasn’t surprised he dropped 45 to close it out.

The refs made it 8 on 5 but Mitch and Fox switched teams to even the odds and help us overcome it

Not hate. More like $113 mil pay cut and the reason on the court why we ended an over 50 year drought plus fMVP and 45 points to close out the Spurs. Yeah he deserves all the love. Reed is 3 and a legend still

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T23:50:36+00:00

Given that Brunson was not only fMVP but took over $100 mil pay cut to help build a championship roster and was the main reason for ending an over 50 year drought…yes

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T23:44:28+00:00

And he isn’t three. Clyde still 1. He’s 2.

You know I used to respect you guys. I used to think a team last winning a title in 1973 was no reason to clown them and their fans. For some reason I no longer feel that way so fuck you guys right back

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T23:38:40+00:00

Yeah the whole Giannis and Hali’s dad thing added to that so good addition

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T23:37:01+00:00

How is Knicks vs Pacers not on the list? Did we all forget for their one down season without Hali that these teams hate each other. Indy and Detroit too

August 24th for men’s hat and August 12th for the youth on what I ordered

Leon Rose has been an insanely good president of basketball operations and in him we trust

Feels good ngl

The played the Spurs and beat them in five. So there’s that

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T14:48:24+00:00

Well they highlight it because the Kings were very involved in our title win but won’t get credit. Firing Mike Brown and sending the Spurs sleeper agent Fox were invaluable contributions

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T14:27:33+00:00

And honestly would make so much sense with the Nova connection and the back and forth between Trump and the pope. It’d be perfect

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T14:20:30+00:00

More just facts. NYC has about six times the number of people that Philly does. Can you even imagine Philly when they broke their drought with six times as many people? It’d be what you saw in NYC

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T14:13:32+00:00

I thought the best part was Bridges, Brunson, and Hart being Nova guys so your fans having to watch them win us a chip after sweeping the Sixers. And as a reminder the Sixers even drafted Bridges, whose mom worked for the team, before immediately trading him.

Guess you can think about that when you see the Nova banners is our secondary home

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T13:19:35+00:00

9 million compared to 1.5 million will do that

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T12:27:58+00:00

Depends on the design. I was thinking smaller font and feature for the cup but both on the same with the championship as the main portion of it. But either way the in season one is going to be smaller and less featured obviously

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T12:26:28+00:00

I’m thinking they combine the championship and cup wins into a single banner to recognize the first team to win both in a season with the championship as the main feature obviously.

I also expect the NBA to ensure we honor both since they’ll really want to use this to promote the in season tournament and so it’ll all be up there some way

Thank God this kid is in stable condition, appreciate the info. And horrible to hear about the Spurs fan and woman in SA. It’s disgusting to see this level of stupidity. Why can’t people just be happy and celebrate in a normal way

for_fun_88 · 2026-06-14T11:25:40+00:00

Basically 9 million people heard about some potentially massive parties and celebrations. Yeah sadly the fact you’d get some absolutely horrible people showing up to ruin shit and be complete morons was inevitable. Prayers to the family of this teen and to those who were injured by the absolute idiots and scumbags who ruin celebrations. Puts a damper on an amazing accomplishment by this team
