NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
All the home teams are going to win game 1? Booooring.
<5% chance. There was almost certainly a handshake deal worked out prior to the trade (Pascal and Nembhard have the same agent) and the Pacers can offer him the full max.
i thought hali was like some future star
guy seems like hes barely trying
took 1 shot all 2nd half
This is the post trade deadline Pacers. It's what I've been saying. This is the Pacers offensive scheme now. Tyrese runs the ball up then gives it to Nembhard/Pascal and let's them dribble for 15 seconds. It's horrible to watch.
They used to run a really fluid offensive scheme and it was incredibly tough to guard. Sure, every once in a while they'd shoot like **** and get beat by 40, but most nights it was a blitz the other team had a tough time keeping up with. It got even better once Pascal got there (briefly). Then they traded Buddy and prioritized defense.
The team got better overall, and tonight was just an atypically ad shooting night (at one point they were 0/13 from 3, that's just not going to happen most nights), but they no longer have the offense to bury teams like the Bucks.
Everyone was saying "LOL Pacers were 4-1 vs. the Bucks!" yeah...but not this team. That team didn't have Pascal on it and had Buddy. It was a totally different scheme.
Starting to thinking betting four lower seeds wasn't the masterstroke I thought it was

ingram gotta have the most -EV shot diet in the nba
props to him for balling like its still 1994
So many white people
Giddey playing like someone who isn’t at the age of consent and is somehow getting ****ed by nba players
Thunder should be able to blow this open first few minutes of the 4th
Hali is trying to facilitate more, no doubt. They shot turribly tonight in all phases.
SGA and co really tight last few possessions imo
Pels are tough, bro. I know
Wowee, hope the Pels do it now
If Okc lose this then I'm off the bandwagon.

The funny part about Haliburton is that he actually had a decent game for a role player. 9/7/8/1/1 on 7 shots and -3 in a game you were down 30 at one point? That's not terrible. But as the main guy? You've got to have him get up more shots in any capacity.
And yeah, the Pacers won't shoot 21% from 3 on 38 attempts often. They shot 37.4% for the year.
I think the series has a chance to go 6 games and the winner is probably whichever team takes game 2, but people thinking the Pacers should've been favorites weren't watching games.
Please take longer with this review. ****ing muppet crew.
ok get on with it. why do they make every review take 10x longer than it needs to be ffs
A bunch of hollywooding refs.
Terrible coaching here!
The OKC challenge was bad, but Green not taking a TO there to try and get a good shot up woeful
Pelicans are scrappy af. But they also kinda suck. With Zion they wouldve won this game by 10.
