Knicks might fall out of the playoffs.

Unfortunately, this might apply to us also.

But we don't have two maxed out all-stars.

[Miller4ever]

Better them than us. Their draft pick will not be as good as ours, because of their previous trades. It'll be wonderful. We get to go to the playoffs and pick higher than the Knicks.

True that.

[Indy2thaWindy]

Is Darren hurt for AJ to still be in the game?

After that stretch of missed free throws, show of hands - who hates AJ even more?

I don't hate him. He just sucks. He wasn't that bad last season.

[chube]

By "hate," that's what I meant. I should re-phrase.

[chube]

Gee, so glad Villanueva managed to get off the bench for a change. Friggin' Pistons.

[Miller4ever]

To be sure, it's very frustrating to see a guy who's supposed to be a good shooter not only play in the place of our starter who I imagine must be hurt, but to also play poorly.

[chube]

Well that sucked. Now we gotta hope for a D-Rose takeover so that Chicago holds off Milwaukee.

[Miller4ever]

Our team better be looking for some revenge on Wednesday when we play these guys again. I respect them for not tanking. This is a teachable game for the Pacers.

2-8 from the field
1-3 from 3
1-6 from the line

"AJ Price is a starting point guard in this league" - Frank Vogel

[Miller4ever]

It's hard to defend that statement. I don't think Vogel seriously thinks that, I think he's just doing the opposite of O'Brien when he called out Hibbert.

"AJ Price is a starting point guard in this league" - Frank Vogel

Sooooooooo...Vogel used to be a scout, huh? Nah, seriously, I'm with Miller. He was being the anti-JOB in that situation. At least I hope so.

[Indy2thaWindy]

I think Larry Bird said it before the end of last season too. I know someone else did, before Vogel said it.

[Miller4ever]

It's also easy to say that when you look at the teams being fielded by...uh...

[Wizop]

I know O'Brien said AJ is not a starting point guard because he said it to me at a season ticket holder thing. but Vogel is right to praise publicly and keep any criticism private.
