3/14 for the Pacers?

What, why? How?

reply

Are you familiar with the Pied Piper?

A very prominent ~Stacker_Sports personality horribly betrayed the trust that had been placed in him.

reply

Nope, what's the story?

Bluff called

I'm so confused 🧐

reply

I'm only vaguely familiar with the story, so I wasn't up to actually relaying it, but I'm familiar with it enough to know the point.

You caught me putting on airs of sophistication.

Are you saying someone led these stackers to their doom by selecting the Pacers? lol

reply

Precisely. I won't say who, though, but I will tag @grayruby for no apparent reason.

That’s exactly what he is implying.

No one picked the still undefeated Cavs.

At least one stacker was smart enough to take Mitchell for All NBA first team.

This might be the month one of those delusional Pacers people defects to a sane pick.
