The Pacers had 162 points with two minutes to go against the Wizards, and then took three straight shot-clock violations rather than add to the destruction. Almost seems worse than trying to get to 170. Almost.

Pacers have 40 assists for the 21st time in franchise history. And as I'm looking this up they get 41, which they've now done 16 times.

Feeling pretty good about my preseason "All-Pessimistic" bets
- PHI u51.5 (-105)
- PHX u46.5 (+105)
- PHX miss the playoffs AFTER play in (+175)
That last one was a bit of a stretch, but there was so much that could go wrong with these two teams...and we've seen it play out

The 10 most mid teams of the last 10years have 0 titles, and I'm guessing more years missing the playoffs than getting beyond the first round
"Mid teams finish mid" isn't exactly analysis, but when you've been mid for half of a decade? That's a pattern, and somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy

Number of Mid Seasons over the past 10 years
Mid Season: Win % between 45 and 55. Corresponds to 37-45 wins in 82 game season

Tension in the locker room is sure to be dissolved by benching:
- guy making $50m (who is honestly playing pretty well) for a rookie
- guy currently suspended for slapping someone during a game for Mason Plumper
My Suns under bet before the season keeps looking better and better

Every Net takes a hit because of either usage or increased likelihood of role change (other trades or shutdown)
Every Laker usage player gets a bump for now, though I think there's another move coming for a more high-level ball handler
Can't wait to see what shakes loose

Scorched Earth Jimmy vs Heat Culture is going to be incredible
Jimmy Butler statement the Heat just released from Pat Riley
"We usually don't comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches. Therefore, we will make it clear - We are not trading Jimmy Butler."

Is it too late to cancel the Bryant trade?
FROM SHAMS:
The Detroit Pistons are waiving center Paul Reed, sources tell ESPN. In 12 games, Reed has averaged 4.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10 minutes. The move was made to give Detroit roster and salary flexibility with the NBA trade deadline less than two months away. https://t.co/93AOdymJXP
