Thanks so much for that rather complicated standings explanation. It's invaluable not to have to worry about wins. I've never had to do that. Can't wait for the draft, but it's so far off.
It’s 3am. I just got back from the club. And you know I’m #tuning in to my goat. #tonyeastsuperfan
Jazz and Kings won too lol
Its a game vs the pistions, they kind of care. lol
Biggest losers!
They did it 😏 They can change the rules now, it's fine as long as they don't weight the Pacers lottery balls Let's Go! Let's get this top pick 🥂
As A Die-Hard Pistons fan I LOVE this. This draft is LOADED. Pacers will get a stud to go with Haliburton. I read Friday Night lights when I was 20 and fell in love with Texas football that led me to the state of Indiana basketball. It annoys me that Indiana is struggling. Purdue is good. And now the pacers will return to being a major factor in the East. Pistons Pacers Celtics Knicks competing for Supremacy. 90's style.
I like Zubac but whew if they lose that pick this year it’s gonna make this season feel waaayyy worse haha.
