If Indiana’s willing to take that bullet to get him off TV, I commend them.

It also requires talent, and they made the playoffs despite the fact that their 2nd and 3rd best players were Ian Mahinmi and George Hill. I just assume it wasn’t a performance issue, because the Pacers should’ve been 25-win roadkill this year.

“T.J. McConnell’s breakout rookie year”

Well, the days of me not knowing what channel FS1 is on are certainly coming to a middle.

Wait, did we ever find out what happened to that 13-14 team? I remember being excited for the inevitable “dirty laundry” article, but never got it. You’ve failed us, internet.

How the hell does someone know how to get on his phone, Twitter, and Instagram.

I understand it wasn’t on the air, but he’s been a public figure his entire adult life. How has he not realized his celebrity amplifies anything he does publicly, regardless of venue?

A thought I had regarding the Shilling fiasco is that I’m not sure there’s any benefit to media people who’ve “arrived” having a social media presence. My assumption is that ESPN’s marketing drones greatly encourage it, but the made my career/torpedoed my career ratio is not awesome.

I don’t buy the idea that he was never talked to about his social media musings prior to his suspension and termination, but even if that was the case, how many suspensions do you need to get the point across? He’s not some teenager at his first job; he should have a basic sense of what not to do as a public figure.…

Curt doesn’t seem too bright, so let’s keep it simple and non-politicky: If you boss says “don’t do X”, and you do X, expect consequences.

They won 56 with basically the same roster last year, which ran most opponents out of the gym. There’s a chance it’s just everyone getting a year older and a year slower, but the moments where the team looked like they actually gave a shit this year were few and far between.

Very impressed that Thibs referenced the mullet pic in his press conference. Apparently he found the internet during his year off.

That’s one explanation for Paul breaking his hand, I guess.

His last show is the day after the NBA Finals? As much as I despise Skip, giving him one last opportunity to burn the universe down with a Lebron take is brilliant. I can’t wait to find out that Lebron’s grandpa killed JFK.

I could easily see it being dragged to 7, at which point all bets are off.

I saw Taken 3 by choice, so I can’t wait. This is going to be Shakespeare by comparison.

That made my day. +1

There were pro Greg Hardy and ISIS leader articles and I missed them? Balls.

Pretty sure Mark Cuban would call Morey and Brown’s tweets fake hustle.

Chip Kelly getting canned really solved that GM issue for the Eagles.
