We're only about 3/4 of the way through the season but somehow it feels like it's been going on for a few years. I guess it's the opposite of "time flies when you're having fun."
I don't know who's to blame for tanking or how to fix the competitiveness problem in the NBA... but look at the starting lineups for both teams tonight. The slopification of entertainment is in full force. Unfortunately the NBA can't blame it on AI.
34th starting lineup for the Pacers this season. Taelon Peter is active, Ethan Thompson is not. https://t.co/h8cPK9JZlq

All of that aside, we did get some good news this week. Quenton Jackson earned a well deserved promotion to the full-time roster.

Memphis is coming off a win over the Dallas Mavericks but they are 3-7 over their last 10. This will be a key tank game. Based on the lineups, the team means to close the season out strong.
