@DomMirandaTV And the basketball gods reward them with an L to hold

In the 4A State Title game, Crown Point held the ball for a minute plus…. With 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. No movement… as deafening boos came down from this Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd. Indiana needs a shot clock and it needs it now.

@DallasVasquez @CardPurchaser What’s the tell everyone keeps posting about

Does the trick work on red optic boxes too? Update later @CardPurchaser

@ForTheCOLTure_J Sorry J but “we like our guys” 🤣

Dear Chris Ballard, can you, for the love of GOD, please, sign one starting caliber player from another team in FA? I am just asking for 1.

@Spiral777_ True, Celtics did. But Pacers also lost Myles in the offseason then Obi, TJ, Nembhard, Mathurin, Nesmith before they had played 10 games this year.

@bigbart1736 @hndrxxmonster Regardless of the JB vs JT argument, the Celtics lost a lot more than just JT.

its fuck the Celtics but I respect tf out of them for not taking this route. This shit so weak by indi.

@hndrxxmonster Lmao as a Bucks fan, I wouldn’t expect you to say anything different. Delusional haters. How many “non superstars” iso Giannis and game on his head???? In the playoffs no less. FOH

@DroppedBySteph @bigbart1736 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 bro

@hndrxxmonster I guarantee this Celtic team would have a worse record if JB was out and Tatum was in for same portion of time this season. Better offensively? no. Tatum is one of the best iso players in the league but JB does a lot more on defense to solidify this Celtic team

@bigbart1736 there’s absolutely no way you believe JB is better then tatum

@BleacherReport @MiamiHEAT Who would do that?? Someone teach Bam some history, his ball knowledge is lacking. Kobe did that with 62 points through 3 quarters. Refused to go back in because it wasn’t needed

“If I have 70 with 9 mins to go, who would be like ‘Coach, just take me out’?” Bam shared his thoughts on people calling his 83-pt game ‘unethical’ 👀 (Via @MiamiHEAT)

@MarkKaboly And the contract that the Colts couldn’t afford. Sad to see Pitt go, he’s an absolute dog

Pittman trade officially was the Steelers moving 16 picks -- 214 to 230 -- to acquire the Colts receiver.

@SamQuinnCBS Does 83 points on 86 shots not sound absolutely ridiculous to you? It’s hilarious to me

I'm seeing a lot of this and it's driving me kind of crazy. Someone just scored 83 points in an NBA game! Who cares how it happened? If you could BS your way to 83 someone else would've done it. Nobody's out here saying Bam is better than Kobe. Just let the cool thing happen.

@DoubleVodkaDon 86 shots to score 83 points. Idk how else to explain it to you. Kobe scored 81 on 66 shots & Luka had 71 on 49 shots for reference since you clearly don’t know ball

How can I actually respect a man scoring 83 points in a NBA game??? These are the questions I’m being asked???

@DoubleVodkaDon We can’t sit here and shame foul baiting and then praise a 39/43 FT game

The amount of hate Bam Adebayo is getting for scoring 83 points is disgusting, we’re so cooked as a society

@BFW @Mattxy12 @W_B_Rick @BFW It’s the 43 attempted free throws you buffoon. Why are you just blatantly ignoring that part

@Mattxy12 @W_B_Rick Were they pissed at the league when Kobe scored 81? How bout wilt’s 100?

The most pathetic, shameless, statpadding ending to a game I’ve ever seen Congrats to Bam!

@BarstoolBigCat Kobe’s 81 is way more respectable. Even Lukas 73 is more respectable. Shameless behavior tonight

Are we respecting Bam’s 83 or calling it Mickey Mouse? 83 is insane no matter how you do it. But I’m open to a #Debate

@BFW 36/43 free throws is hilarious

83 points, 3 assists is a hilarious stat line.

@DommyPicks @a1fantasy23 Kobe’s 81 looks even more impressive. Spo pulled all the stops to get Bam there. Kobe led the Lakers back from down 18 and he only took 20 free throws in the process. Bam just broke the record for attempts and makes in a game

@a1fantasy23 Kobe's 81 look insanely unimpressive after tonight

After doing all that shit to get Bam 82 points, they should’ve just tried to get him 100 Like you’re already doing the most insane shit to get him there, keep it going

@BFW Broke the record for attempts and makes in a game tonight. Great game no doubt but it’s not even close to as respectable as Kobe’s 81 pt game

Bam Adebayo has shot 36 free throws tonight and has 74 points. Him scoring over 80 could be hysterical.

@KOT4Q Free throw shooting masterclass

I hope yall seeing what Bam is out here doing right now

@AKRileyy5 How can this be??? I thought Giannis was going to “unlock him” 😂😂

Wtf man

@AlexGoldenNBA @NateDuncanNBA IMO it’s Sheppard that goes first, then Kobe. Both are on team options. Not sure if that enough room with those contracts gone but that’s where I’d start

@NateDuncanNBA Knowing the Pacers are a team that avoids the luxury tax, how do they stay under the tax if they get a Top 4 pick? Can they keep McConnell and Toppin? Also, what does a Jarace Walker extension look like?
