Oh yeah, and my guy Foster... His mustache is coming in nicely.

Thanks for benching Ford in the 4th Obie! Our only player playing good. Coach of the year!!!!!

Graham needs to see his playing time come to an end. We need people to get injured so Obie is forced to actually use a rotation, and we need to start seeing some promise out of Hibbert and Rush, because neither one of them has looked worth a crap this season.

Are you serious? I just looked at the clock, and submitted my incomplete GDT. Completing it now...

Sorry man. It's my bad. I knew you had it tonight and i didn't do it earlier. I saw nothing at 645 so i figured i'd make one. Once again my bad. I just figured you got cought up in something.

[Miller4ever]

It's okay. How about from now on, we make placeholders while we work on the actual post itself?

That game was terrible, I didn't look at any stats but I don't think we even got a hand up on a shooter all night, a couple times I had to hit back it up to see who was supposed to be out there and I couldn't tell because everyone was standing in the lane. I have never seen a team get so many wide open shot I mean not within 10 feet of the guy. Someone needs to make a post about defense and what it means and how to teach it and hope that JOB just happens to read it because he does not have a clue. I have watched these guys shade their player to go left or right either way and just let then drive that way straight to the basket and not even try to get in front of them and then look at the other guys like where are you, we have 0 effert on defense and it all starts with the coach. You can't help everytime they make a pass, you have to aleast try to get in front of your man, they made us look like a middle school team.

I agree. I dont care how well the other team is shooting, in a regulation NBA game, there is absolutely, positively no reason a team should hit 136 points. Its just ridiculous. 100 points after 3 quarters? I mean...really? I think its time to start thinking about making some moves to get some more defensive minded players in here. We need someone to play defense in the post. Firing Obie couldnt hurt either. Since I started watching the Pacers (early 90s), he is the worst coach we have had, and the only person who even comes close is Isiah Thomas. Actually, that might be a toss-up.

I feel your frustration, but things are not that bad. Isiah Thomas was a total and complete joke.

[cdash]

Yeah, Isiah was much worse. He still is second worst, although thats comparing him to Larry Brown, Larry Bird, and Rick Carlisle.
