He dunks like Carr. I really enjoy your updates. Keep up the great work. Do you feel this late in the season, it's probably just as well we leave Siakam on the bench to avoid an Achilles rupture (to keep next season's ring-run intact?)
All it matters is that we lost and the tanking went successful letβs go pacersππππ
So how minutes did Toppin play?
It's influencer Tony! TJ finally looked like his old self making good plays. Peter is improving well. It was fun to see Obi play too. Excited to see Jalen play. I know nothing about him.
Survived the 2nd and 3rd quarters and got body slammed in the 4th this time. Yeah yeah yeah tanking is something of value but I'm ready for a win any time now π
Q everyone seems to love Q, Pacers making the right move again locking him in ππΌ
Good loss boys!
Good to hear Shep get a shout out, he's been excellent after a horrible start. Ben Sheppard is a low mistake guy so when he's hitting his shots he pretty valuable.
I still think Potter > Huff, but I'm actually on some other Center Island.
If we keep our pick, I can see a summer trade of a player that the pick displaces from the second unit. Ideally that player would be on more than a minimum contract so moving him avoids the tax.
