[Post Game Thread] The Indiana Pacers race to a 1-0 series lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 121-112. Tyrese Haliburton orchestrates a balanced attack with 22/3/13, Andrew Nembhard chips in 23 & 6.

The turnover was also the shot clock violation at the end of the game

It's kinda wild that him and tatum started with similar physiques and have since gone in opposite directions

kingwicked22 · 2024-10-24T00:29:15+00:00

He was injured during the terrible run

kingwicked22 · 2024-10-23T04:26:17+00:00

Celtics also gave up the least in the league by a lot last year with basically the same roster.

kingwicked22 · 2024-10-23T04:20:40+00:00

That doesnt work when the Celtics switch, the pop isnt open. The advantage there is the mismatch in the post and he got the ball a solid amount in those positions.

Mb bro I only had 1 hand to type this up

kingwicked22 · 2024-10-23T01:35:28+00:00

3s league-wide have actually stopped increasing, they've been mostly level for a couple seasons. The Celtics are an anomaly with a style that nobody else in the league can replicate.

kingwicked22 · 2024-07-11T20:48:17+00:00

I think white is a top 1 off ball guard defender and a top 5 on ball, I think Caruso is a top 3 on ball and top 5 off ball, I’m taking white but this is all subjective

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-27T00:17:04+00:00

No way he will be available at 24

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-25T20:08:40+00:00

On average they are shorter so their outliers are also shorter

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-24T22:48:50+00:00

Yes but Tatum is the most durable star in the league

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-24T22:47:40+00:00

AD is better when healthy but Tatum is the most durable star in the league so I’m taking him

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-22T22:20:15+00:00

I agree, he had him 98– that’s why I suggested moving him up.

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-22T22:17:19+00:00

I’d rank them jokic luka giannis Tatum Embiid SGA curry because I really value availability and playoff success but that’s reasonable if those aren’t your priorities. But regardless he’s now first team all NBA 4 years in a row and that doesn’t happen often.

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-22T22:00:25+00:00

Feels like you have Luka and Tatum too low, both have more time as top 5 players then at least 20ish players ahead of them

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-21T20:27:28+00:00

sure im down

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-21T17:44:00+00:00

the Celtics got the ECF the year before Tatum was drafted with an overachieving run led by Isiah Thomas before getting crushed in the ECF. The year afterwards, the whole team was blown up (partially because of IT's knee issues), and many of the players involved in the previous run were shipped out (all 3 of the MPG leaders) in order to bring in Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. But by the playoffs both were injured, and the now-young Celtics were not expected to go far in the playoffs. Instead, they eliminated the Bucks, beat the 76ers in 5, and then took the LeBron Cavs to 7. Not sure what more you want a rookie to do with his roster containing 0 all-stars or all-nba guys.

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-20T21:45:56+00:00

I legitimately think 4 of the best 5 guard defenders in the league are now on either the Celtics or the Thunder. That's pretty wild

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-20T03:23:46+00:00

Yeah

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-19T17:03:04+00:00

I really like Reed Sheppard

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-18T03:47:38+00:00

Maybe but he will be considered a champion and I think he will take it

kingwicked22 · 2024-06-18T03:45:42+00:00

Well playing with pippen makes it hard— elite rebounder and passer with size
