Watching that Detroit win over the permanently overrated Knicks, what a weapon off the bench Shroder is for Detroit. I thought he was one of the better players in the Olympics this summer outside the US team. He was the difference in the road win.

Shroder is always good in the Olympics. Didn't he get waived earlier this year? I thought a contender would add him for bench depth, was surprised he ended up in Detroit.

NBATV coverage blacked out in central Iowa??? Why???

I am watching the game on a Fanduel Sports Network channel that I got with a Fubo TV package that is 5 FSN networks that get me a bunch of MLB teams (Twins, Royals, Brewers, and Cardinals), NHL teams (Wild and Blues), and NBA teams (Pacers and T-Wolves). Not sure if I will keep it past the NBA/NHL playoffs, but it feels like a decent value.

I thought the people calling for the Bucks to blow up the team and trade Giannis if they lose to the Pacers were crazy before the playoffs, but they looked so old and slow vs the Pacers that I feel like they might have a point.

Obviously Dame has been out, but man, it looks rough for them though I said that when they were getting roughed up by the Nets in the 2nd round of the playoffs back in 2021 right before they came back and won that series and a title.

Anything can happen (Giannis is still a load) and it doesn't really start until a team loses at home, but the Pacers look soooooooo much more deep and athletic, more than last year's series. Part of it is Pacers are healthier this year, but Bucs lack some punch.

Have not watched the Rockets much this year because I don’t like Udoka or Brooks. But someone tell me about this Eason guy. His game looks nice.

You guys are missing out if "anti-Knicks" isn't one of your favorite teams. So satisfying to listen to the media be totally irrational about how good they are all year every year then reality crashes into it.

Milwaukee sounds louder than when they won the Finals. Haliburton just hit a near half court 3 over Lillard.

Broadcast just mention Pacers are #1 offense with him in game and last without him. I believe it because their win % in games he’s injured past two years can’t be much better than 10%. But sure…overrated. 8-5-8 line nearing half.
