seeing posts like this i am convinced a large portion of the sports viewing populus has brainworms because in what universe does this far fetched conspiracy theory have legs
Lebron hints he wants out of LA if they don’t improve the roster, and 10 hours later a former #1 overall pick at the position they need, owed 30 million, is bought out. What an amazing coincidence!

The unsinkable Pacers don’t need the lead. They just need the last word | Claire de Lune
Indiana didn’t lead for 47 minutes and 59.7 seconds of Thursday’s NBA finals opener. But belief, defiance and Tyrese Haliburton’s dramatic flair made the final 0.3 count
