    2025 NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers

    It's a push off by SGA on that particular play but he was fouled a ton during this game. The Pacers have adopted the Thunder's method of reaching...

    Jabari Smith

    No way. He makes the occasional dumb mistake but his defensive energy coupled with his athleticism is a huge net positive off the bench. Tari...

    Jabari Smith

    This is mostly true but it would help if Jabari could at least attack closeouts and finish a bit at the rim. He's just limited offensively. He...

    Jabari Smith

    He's not a better player than Tari at this time. I don't understand why valuing Jabari results in anyone devaluing Tari. Tari is clearly...

    Jabari Smith

    Others have already posted that Jabari will probably never live up to his draft position. That doesn't mean he can't become a great role...

    Jabari Smith

    Jabari is already a solid rotation player. I don't see that trading him to improve our draft position works for our timeline. The 6th pick in...

    Jabari Smith

    I don't like that $25 million a year number. I think Jabari with some reasonable improvement over time can become a Santi Aldama-level player....

    Jabari Smith

    I think free agency has changed and there will be less player movement in free agency due to the new CBA. I also think there will be less...

    Nets offering Cam Johnson to the Rockets?

    Jabari Smith

    I agree. I also think we should do the same with Tari. I don't see much advantage in extending either player this summer. Neither is likely to...

    Rockets, FVV push back team option deadline

    If they don't bring FVV back, they'll need to bring in another competent vet PG for at least another season. Otherwise, we will take a step...

    Rockets, FVV push back team option deadline
