@AssemblyCall @ ATL In the rematch I sat by 4 Oregon fans who traveled from Eugene & they were simply awesome.

I'm so intrigued by the respectful and appreciative relationship forming between IU football fans and Oregon football fans. It's really something.

@JMV1070 💯

Greatest coaching job of all time

@gregblunk Simply awful

Woody is a dead man walking

@bkravitz Bears game this year?

I can’t remember a visiting fan base taking over the Dome or LOS the way Lions fans took over Sunday. Maybe you’ve seen it worse. I’d be curious to know.

@AlbertBreer How about Colts w Pittman? He’s not @ the level of those guys but his deal looks like a steal now for the team.

There's a good lesson in here for NFL teams—waiting on doing deals for stars is usually not good business. The Eagles (DeVonta Smith), Lions (Amon-Ra St. Brown) and Dolphins (Jaylen Waddle) did well to be aggressive with younger receivers, and won't have to pay a Jefferson tax.

@bkravitz They can pay him substantially more than other teams since they own his Bird Rights. Can’t imagine he’s going anywhere.

I hope like hell the Pacers can re-sign Pascal Siakam - he was understandably non-committal last night - but even if he bolts in free agency, I’ll say the trade was worthwhile for the Pacers. They don’t reach the ECF without him. Sometimes you’ve got to take risks.

@itsCSB__ Can’t keep everyone. Siakam is getting paid. Turner only has 1 year left on his deal. Mathurin will be back. Need to carve out mins for Walker. Solid bet that Obi gets squeezed.

there’s no way Obi Toppin isn’t a member of the Pacers next season

@BKDizz @PacersStatsMuse Siakam is getting a max. They have no $$ for a top tier FA.

@PacersStatsMuse Hot take but Mathurin and Nesmith are likely the odd men out if we sign a top tier FA

The Pacers are going to have to make some big decisions this off season. Assuming they sign or trade for another wing defender someone is going to become the odd man out. Especially with Mathurin coming back from injury

@michael21201_ @itsCSB__ Jalen is for sure gone. Obi will get squeezed out too. Tyrese/Siakam max deals, Turner extension, & the need to get Walker time are major factors.

@itsCSB__ If you were to make a prediction… who do you think it is? Is Jalen Smith too obvious?

someone is gonna end up being the odd man out between the Pacers young players

@itsCSB__ Not sure Obi is back. He may get squeezed due to Tyrese/Siakam max deals & Turner’s new deal next summer. Plus, need to free up mins for Walker.

Tyrese Haliburton Andrew Nembhard Aaron Nesmith Pascal Siakam Myles Turner T.J. McConnell Bennedict Mathurin Jarace Walker Obi Toppin Isaiah Jackson that’s a pretty good 10 man rotation just by bringing everyone back

@DustinDopirak I like Sheppard a lot but he was simply awful in his 25 mins.

I'll look this up later but I'd be surprised if there's been another game this year in which the Pacers had four guys scored 22 or more and none of their other guys had more than four. Nembhard, Siakam, Turner, McConnell all 22 or above. Rest of team had 12 points.

@wbjay06 @KnicksBeast Exactly. Spot on.

@KnicksBeast When did pacers fans or even media act like Knicks were at full strength? Everyone was discrediting the pacers wins. “Front runners, frauds” ESPN literally expected the Knicks to win hurt or not lol Hali is what Brunson is to the Knicks. U can’t replace those 2

I’m not wishing injury on anyone but if Halliburton is really hurt, I better not hear a word of complaining from Pacers fans about being “short handed”. Pacers fans and the media treated the Knicks like we were full health when on the mics, so no excuses this series.

@KnicksBeast Is this real?? Can’t be. Absolutely no one in the media acted as if Knicks were full health. Quite the opposite. National media consistently went out of their way to point out Knicks injuries.

@DustinDopirak Seems like Rick called it when 4th Q started.

Jarace Walker and Jalen Smith in there. Seems a little early for the Pacers to call this one, but they have.

@jakequery @AustinCroshere Austin was on ‘99 ECF team that lost to Knicks in Game 3 on LJ phantom 4 point play. Pacers rebounded & won Game 4 in NY before eventually losing series.

@danorlovsky7 Well said. Also, @NBAonTNT show is the absolute best while @ESPNNBA show is the worst. It’s brutal.

“Inside the NBA” on TNT is the show I watched & still do religiously to try & learn from. To try & steal from. To try & emulate—because it’s the show that makes the show great—not one individual. We>Me seems to be personified every show. Fun. Chemistry. Laughter. Making fun of each other. Teaching. The best ever. Hope to bring that to NFL LIVE daily!

@AlexGoldenNBA @ryenarussillo It’s a shame @NBAonTNT might lose their rights while @ESPNNBA keeps theirs. TNT coverage, studio & in game, is substantially better. There’s no comparison.

Tim Legler explains the problem with ESPN’s coverage of small market basketball teams on the @ryenarussillo show: “And I wish I had video of all the meetings I’ve been in this year at ESPN when I wanted to talk more about the Indiana Pacers. Particularly after they got Siakam…𝙖𝙖𝙖𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙭𝙮 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝.”

@AlexGoldenNBA Irony of all this is Tyler Ford lives in Westfield.

NBA officials for Game 1 of Pacers-Celtics: Crew Chief: Tony Brothers Referee: David Guthrie Umpire: Tyler Ford Tyler Ford officiated Game 1 of Pacers-Knicks. He is the official who called the illegal screen on Turner when it was 118-117 with 12.1 seconds left to play.

@CoachSoderling No way Starks paid for his seat

How is John Starks (as a paying fan) allowed on the court like that? Talking to the referees and players…it’s crazy that he hasn’t walked out after a free throw to dap up the shooter. It’s giving embarrassing sports dad

@jakequery @Pacers Agreed. Are they coming home though or heading straight to Boston?

In 1995, I get a HEALTHY priced ticket for parking illegally at the airport- had to join thousands of others in time to greet the @Pacers upon their return from winning Game 7 in New York. WORTH EVERY PENNY.
