Not from what I could tell.

I've lost all patience with this team. They need to make difficult decisions with the roster. Klay looks washed and his attitude has been terrible. Draymond is a headcase. Curry is arguably as good as he's every been, just completely in control of his strengths and limitations. I hope they shop Paul to see if they can get a pick and a vet for his large expiring contract. Maybe even shop Klay. To think, they could have drafted Haliburton.

The League’s requiring Draymond go to counseling. Suspended indefinitely until he can get help with his obvious issues. :thumbsup:

Hopefully they find better counseling than Morant got.

I don’t think Giannis liked how things ended in Vegas.

What's happening in the NBA right now? That Giannis/Pacers thing is just bizarre.

It’s pretty impressive that 3-20 (Spurs, Wizards) is not the worst record in the league.
Every sentence in my head, someone else has said.

Even as a Pacers fan, I admit Giannis should have gotten the ball. But he was way too pouty and entitled about it.

was it explained to giannis that the pacers wanted to give the game ball to their rook who scored his first points in the NBA (or was that story made up)

if so i think the rook gets the ball and giannis having been in the league as long as he has should understand

They should threaten to cut the ball in half. Only the true owner would have it go to someone else than see it destroyed.

I feel like my brain is melting and I need help.

I just saw that Doncic is the 7th fastest (youngest) player to reach 10,000 career points. Ok fine I get it.

But he is the fastest since Michael Jordan. Meaning that everyone else in the top 6 is older than Jordan? Seriously?

What about LeBron, Garnett, Carmelo, wow - guys who entered the league after 1 or even 0 years of college - I can’t believe it. Wow.

That is surprising. Luka was 19 his first season as well.
Wilt Chamberlain is the fastest to score 10,000 — in 236 games, followed by Michael Jordan (303), Elgin Baylor (315), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (319), Oscar Robertson (334), George Gervin (355). Doncic entered the game 11 points shy of 10,000. He needed only 7 minutes to get there, passing the milestone on a 34-foot 3-pointer.


At 24 years, 300 days old, Doncic is the sixth-youngest player to reach 10,000 points behind LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Tracy McGrady
