Apparently Izzo did a podcast with Andy Katz today. Basically said something about it taking a big time offer to consider going go the League. The guys in the Fan said the name Lakers. Not sure if that was them throwing a name out or if Izzo said it.

Have to keep in mind that Kobe has two years left basically, and who knows how he is going to respond coming off these injuries. He may very well be done already. If not, have to maximize those years and try and win titles, as unlikely as that seems.

Imagine four months ago I would have told you tonight both the Pacers and Thunder needed road wins to avoid first-round losses.

If OKC had a good distributer to get Westbrook and Durant the ball instead of them trying to do everything, they'd be nasty.

Westbrook wouldnt be 1/8th as productive playing off the ball

Paul George took a single step onto the court during that scuffle with Scott and Hill during the Hawks game.....any chance the NBA suspends him like they did Stoudemire back in the day for that critical game against San Antonio?

Hopefully common sense prevails this time around.

I hope he isn't suspended and would like to see him play. At the same time, the NBA needs to be objective about this. If he broke the rule - regardless if he was on the court by two feet or thirty - he should be suspended. If the rule isn't going to be enforced because he's the star player, it's game seven, and he was barely on the court, then don't have the rule to begin with.

Well, it could possibly benefit the Pacers.

There is a photo of about 5 Hawks players on the floor in the background. Some starters, I believe.

But, in the end, glad it was no one. The "bench" are is not even big enough for those guys to stand up without going onto the court lol.

The rule is open to interpretation from what I understood listening to a little Mike and Mike this morning. It's worded something like leaving the "immediate vicinity" of the bench. Is it 1 foot? 5? onto the court? Who the hell knows.

Here it is. I cant make out who they all are, but, the sheer amount you would have to think would have been a blow. Maybe as much as Pacers losing PG, but, maybe not.

It'd be awesome if Dallas won tonight. San Antonio goes all season long limiting minutes and games for their starters, but then goes seven games in the first round against the eight seed.
