What’s the buzz on Twitter?

As bad as the Pacers perimeter defense can be, particularly when Buddy Hield is in the game, seems like it might’ve been a good idea to have one of your bigs in the game to defend the rim? Especially when they’re both capable of hitting three-pointers. – 10:26 PM

This fourth quarter has mostly been bad for the Suns, but the last few minutes are proof of why they’re so dangerous. If you have a Buddy Hield-type anywhere on the floor, they have so much offensive talent that they can punish him with basically anyone on the floor. – 10:22 PM

The Suns have scored 5 straight possessions attacking Buddy Hield. Just a ludicrously bad defensive sequence. – 10:21 PM

Bradley Beal goes at Buddy Hield on back-to-back possessions, scores at the rim both times. Suns went cold for a stretch there in the 4th, but they were getting decent looks against the mismatches. Nice to have another guy like Beal who can do it too – 10:19 PM

Finally, the Pacers break through and take the lead with 3:20 left on a Buddy Hield 3-pointer. He’s 5 of 7 from range.
Vogel takes timeout. – 10:13 PM

Given Indiana’s newfound frontcourt conundrum and the notion outside the organization that Hield would eventually be moved to give Mathurin, Nembhard, and Sheppard more playing time looking ahead, rival executives believe the Pacers could make another trade to bolster their team before the deadline. -via HoopsHype / January 18, 2024
While Indiana has explored what trade returns could come from a package of veteran outside threat Buddy Hield and a first-rounder, Hield was not being discussed as part of this latest framework between Indiana and Toronto, sources said. In any deal that would bring three players to the Raptors for Siakam, Toronto would need to create an open roster spot by either sending someone back to Indiana or waiving a player. -via Yahoo!
