@OnDeckJeff @ScottHoward42 Try 3 down seasons consecutively. Back injury drained his power

@ScottHoward42 He's had one down season. Still better than anyone we have in the organization. And at $5.5 million a year, an absolute steal.

That was not the mostly washed up former MVP candidate from the 2024 St. Louis Cardinals I expected the DBacks to acquire.

@jeremiahcarsey @B1OBEY0ND @roddywhiteTV I think fringe/late talent might stay for one last year of guaranteed income, but there really aren’t many surefire first round talents staying another year to risk injury, slipping in the draft, and losing 4 years of guaranteed NFL money. Maybe Arch if you think he’s a FRP still
English
@B1OBEY0ND @roddywhiteTV I disagree. With NIL they are staying in school longer causing a talent gap in the pipeline to the NFL and the players coming in are not developed as much as they are paid.

I don’t know if this says how bad the league is or how good Phillip Rivers really is. This shouldn’t be possible for him to play this well off the couch after 5 years. Unless we just playing a bunch of bad football these days.

@JohnRuf6 @indgop I’m saying you are obviously lying about your diet in an effort to act like you wouldn’t be affected by farming counties leaving IL. “I actually don’t consume corn or soybean products, I have a Med diet that’s found to have an inverse relation with BMI, but ignore my weight btw”

@russrebrands Yea they both are bottom 4 on defense for their positions but rim > perim defender in terms of importance. Most teams hide one bad perimeter defender, it’s harder to hide a bad defensive big. Feels impossible to contend with two abysmal defenders on floor. I’d move KAT before JB
English
@Thriablo I’m a KAT hater, but I think being 6’0 and so inept defensively really hamstrings your team and how you can build it. The other 4 guys have to be plus defenders because the PG always needs covered for; there’s just no way around it. That’s hard to do while building a rounded team
English
Garland, Hunter, JA out.
Lebron, Kessler in.
Cavs fans are freaking out in the comments.
They think Garland is Allen Iverson
MoreForYouCleveland@MoreForYou_CLE
You making this move #Cavs fans?

@russrebrands Pistons, Magic, and Hawks seem fun enough that one of them could beat the Knicks in 7 though. Pistons got hoed this year vs Knicks
English
@russrebrands A bit of a Brunson hater as a Pacers fan, but he’s the truth. KAT’s defense felt like the reason they got into holes most games. I think they make the finals last szn with avg defense in his spot. They might cakewalk it there in the injured East this year sadly, KAT flaws and all
English
@russrebrands Would you consider Trae Young incredible enough? Just curious
I guess the Hawks are leaning heavily into defense around him to find out
English
@Thriablo people underestimate how incredible you have to be on offense to be a 16 game player at 6 feet tall who can’t defend his position

Someday, I hope there will be an era of Pacers basketball that just ends with a normal, non-devastating loss, rather than PG’s leg snapping in two, Oladipo’s knee falling apart, or Tyrese falling to the ground in anguish.
English
@WylinCatto We’ll have to see! Tough matchup for sure. Haven’t played a real guard threat since the Cavs, so Pacers might be rusty
English
On no planet in the observable universe is this a top 10 basketball player 😭🤣
Thriablo@Thriablo
@WylinCatto @JLLong314 @ringernba Brunson: 30.7-2.5-5.7 Hali: 21-6.0-10.5 An extra 4.8 APG is worth at the minimum 9.6 PTS. Not all were 2s. Hali better and more points responsible for. More boards. 2 more SPG. Better defense. Brunson is a great scorer, cone on defense, useless on boards. Plenty in NBA history
English
@WylinCatto Sorry, but surely you’d hold every player to the same standard you hold Haliburton?
T10 by several measures
Good over here, Pacers get to play in the Finals and sent 3 players in the top ten home! Enjoy the coach search and having two turnstiles on the floor for years to come!
English
@Thriablo i get you’re upset your favorite player is by no measure a top 10 player in the league but you have to get brunson’s meat out of your mouth 😭🤣
English
@KindredSwerv @the2kmessiah Dame fanpages - you’re dismissed. It’s been over for some time now.
English
@the2kmessiah Ong he only made it cuz Dame was injured lmao. No one seriously thinks HALIBURTON 💀 is a top 10 player in the world
Dame had the same stats as Brunson with the same usage as garland. Pls try to act like he wouldn’t have been 2nd or 3rd lock and hali off 👍🏽
English
@WylinCatto @JLLong314 @ringernba Brunson: 30.7-2.5-5.7
Hali: 21-6.0-10.5
An extra 4.8 APG is worth at the minimum 9.6 PTS. Not all were 2s. Hali better and more points responsible for. More boards. 2 more SPG. Better defense. Brunson is a great scorer, cone on defense, useless on boards. Plenty in NBA history
English
@WylinCatto @JLLong314 @ringernba Also Brunson and KAT are arguably the worst defenders in basketball for their position. Why do you think their minutes became staggered as the series went on? Who do you think attacked that weakness every time down the floor and made the right read?
English
Top 100 #NBAFinals edition just dropped! Welcome to the top 10, Hali.
