RIPPA Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Suns officially clinch a playoff spot thus ending their 10 season draught (2nd longest current streak in the NBA and tied for 5th all time) Kings still have the longest streak - 14 and counting Knicks now have the 2nd current longest drought at 7 years but that is pretty certain to end this year too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 KPJ is the 4th youngest player to record a 50 point double double with assists (Yes that is quite the niche stat) He is also the 4th player under 21 to score 50 in a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Quote The Indiana Pacers have suspended assistant coach Greg Foster for one game and fined center Goga Bitadze for their emotionally charged on-court exchange Wednesday night in a loss to the Sacramento Kings. The Pacers announced the punishments Thursday but said no further details would be released on what they called "an internal team matter." Foster will serve the suspension Thursday night for the Pacers' home game against the Atlanta Hawks, sources told ESPN. Foster and Bitadze have had a strong working relationship this season for the Pacers, and that's expected to continue despite the exchange in the third quarter of Wednesday's 104-93 loss. The Pacers have been in turmoil for weeks because of the frayed relationship between head coach Nate Bjorkgren and the players, staff and organization, sources said. After a Kings dunk in the lane, Foster called on Bitadze to protect the rim better. Down the floor, Bitadze made a 3-pointer and turned toward the Pacers bench and told Foster to "Sit the f--- down," according to replay and confirmed by sources. During the next timeout, Foster erupted toward Bitadze and had to be held back by staff and players. Foster, a veteran of 13 years as a player and eight years as an assistant coach in the NBA, has worked closely with Bitadze, a second-year center, and the coach and player have been anxious to move past the incident, sources said. The crux of the Pacers' issues has run much deeper this season, centered squarely on the first-year head coach's struggles to command respect within the locker room and the broader organization because of what sources have described as a volatile and abrasive style in his coaching and personal interactions. Bjorkgren's job is in peril at season's end, sources said. The Pacers are 30-35 and holding on to ninth place -- which would put them in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament.
