The Pacers had 162 points with two minutes to go against the Wizards, and then took three straight shot-clock violations rather than add to the destruction. Almost seems worse than trying to get to 170. Almost.

I'll take just two of those points and apply them to yesterday!

And the Pacers have a new NBA franchise record for points in one game. 159 and counting.

Pacers have 40 assists for the 21st time in franchise history. And as I'm looking this up they get 41, which they've now done 16 times.

Two straight from-the-jaws-of-defeat-ass wins for the Pacers. Alligator blood squad.

Something like that, I have no clue what Memphis would be looking for in a deal Maybe a Smart+asset for Cam Johnson kind of deal, with Smart then getting rerouted somewhere that can give BKN another asset that they're looking for?

I keep trying to find a Smart destination between the contenders or hopefuls like Milwaukee, Denver, LAL, Dallas, Cleveland, Sacramento...just kind of a weird salary for a lot of teams, especially when Memphis doesn't exactly need more depth

This is what I think the "SAS needs to go for it" crowd misses Each improvement by the Vassell/Sochan/Castle core not only gives more space for Wemby+other 2 to play as they are, but also a better context to improve in Plenty of trades make sense, but they really could get better internally QUICK

Feeling pretty good about my preseason "All-Pessimistic" bets - PHI u51.5 (-105) - PHX u46.5 (+105) - PHX miss the playoffs AFTER play in (+175) That last one was a bit of a stretch, but there was so much that could go wrong with these two teams...and we've seen it play out

"full-speed wraparound pass ten feet in front of the roller from the logo" is a pretty crazy recommendation, even watching it from home. Can't imagine seeing/feeling that pass on the court I'm sure there are more than a few passes Green should be seeing+making, but this is not one of them lol

That fake step back looked like the hundreds of thousands of actual step backs Harden has taken over the last decade plus, what a freaking move

No question lol keeping a specific schedule when possible, sound machines, warm bottles with certain nipples that match certain pacifiers... there's the patience you need with your kids, and then there's patience you need for loved ones who haven't lived with a baby in 30+ years

I was reminded of this during Christmas when my grandma, in my house, suggested we give my nine month old whiskey for his teeth because he was crying He had an ear infection, that we were days into a prescription for Wild that "throw some 40%ABV at the baby" was a serious suggestion

The idea that someone gave the green light to equate Spastic or Hyperactive with the rest of that title is insanity lol

Got it. I was going off of "player who was on rosters that were mid" when I guessed Jimmy, especially knowing Chicago and Miami are at the top as teams...never would have put Jimmy in a "mid winning percentage as a player" group Ingram Beal CJ and Drummond though, that tracks lol

Rhett Bauer @rhettbauer.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
Assuming this is for games the player played in, not just based on the team's record in the seasons they were there? Because sheesh this is a damning group of players that include some guys I fight for lol

Jimmy is going to be on there a lot and I can't tell if it will help or hurt his "legacy" case lol

Next question is, what players have been on the most mid teams over the last 10 years???
100
Rhett Bauer @rhettbauer.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
Spurs in 2015 I suppose as well, but that's almost a case for my argument too considering that season didn't fall in this chart...and they were mid until the last two or three years, and look what happened!

Rhett Bauer @rhettbauer.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
Went for 10 teams 10 seasons, but you're absolutely right that was a bad way to do it But that 9-15 also includes CHA, ORL, PHX, and POR lol so could have made an even better point!

Rhett Bauer @rhettbauer.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
The 10 most mid teams of the last 10years have 0 titles, and I'm guessing more years missing the playoffs than getting beyond the first round "Mid teams finish mid" isn't exactly analysis, but when you've been mid for half of a decade? That's a pattern, and somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy

I said it earlier, please stop calling these fouls, yes he gets the defender up in the air but then initiates all the contact. These need to be not be fouls.

Started giving answers to the opposite of what my own question was, but it's way more uplifting to look at the guys who helped win titles during the season like Chandler rather than watch from the Charlotte Bobcats like Erick Dampier (((couldn't help but throw a Charlotte jab in there for you 😂)))

Helps when a top-10 guy asks out to your place and those guys are the best you've got, but yes lol my favorite part is that Josh Hart has probably helped win the most playoff games! I might look up how many starters have been traded away and their former team immediately won the title like that

Less crazy when you know that not a single one of them were on the team lol the math checks out

Tension in the locker room is sure to be dissolved by benching: - guy making $50m (who is honestly playing pretty well) for a rookie - guy currently suspended for slapping someone during a game for Mason Plumper My Suns under bet before the season keeps looking better and better

Holy crap, this is one of the coolest things I've watched in a long time Mastering your craft to the point where you're jumping from "new takes on old ideas" to literal industry breakthroughs to hardware hacking all while bringing outside-the-box solutions to unprecedented problems... Insane lol

After an embarrassing loss against the Hornets, the Pacers knew they needed to change something. Tyrese Haliburton sat down with 2 coaches to figure it out. How that conversation and some defensive tweaks changed the Pacers fortunes - and the win column: www.forbes.com/sites/tonyea...

Also, really excited to see Lakers fans do the EXACT complaining that the Mavs fans were doing when DFS was their best wing stopper DFS didn't quite have AD and LeBron around him, but still lol

Rhett Bauer @rhettbauer.bsky.social · 29/12/2024
Every Net takes a hit because of either usage or increased likelihood of role change (other trades or shutdown) Every Laker usage player gets a bump for now, though I think there's another move coming for a more high-level ball handler Can't wait to see what shakes loose

What in the "too much time on StatHead+DraftKings" is this lol True, Yabusele HAS scored 15+ in 4 of PHI's last 5 vs teams with winning record Also true: -that spans 14GP/27days -10 or less pts in 9 other games -only two games of 15+ across first 14GP, for 6 total +1200 promo notification is wild
