The Pacers' gloating/celebrating is hilarious.

[Moooose]

I haven't watched the pacers play at all this year so i'm just going to say this:

I've followed LeBron pretty much his whole career and the showboating doesn't help winning - at all.

his cavs teams used to 'have fun' by doing all the excessive celebrating and whatnot and it gives the team a different mentality, they seem to focus on the small victories and not the big one. his heat team did the same thing in 2011, to a lesser extent.

look at the best teams now. the spurs and heat are all business, the thunder are pretty good for not over-celebrating too. it's not that they aren't having fun (it actually looks like the heat are having a ton of fun) but they rarely celebrate.


i'm not knocking the pacers for having fun, i'm just trying to say that you have to be serious to win a championship, and if that is the pacers' goal then they are eventually going to have to settle down and be serious to reach their goal.

I just don't get this. Man, is this logic? Seriously?

The Pacers are not "showboating" for your entertainment, nor to make other fanbases get angry.
They are doing this to motivate them. Anything wrong with that?
The Pacers do not have a Lebron, a Duncan, or a Durant that can carry a team to a championship.
The Pacers got a budding star in Paul George, and a team that understands how everybody else functions.
The team is fueled up. They are hungry. Anything wrong with that?

What's wrong with them being excited about being 8-0? Just cause they are happy now doesn't mean they cant be serious when the time comes.. ur just a hater cause they pacers are doing quite well

Uh, The only change Lebron made was not doing the chalk toss for a couple years, and now he's bringing it back. Same mean mugging for the camera and opponents benches. Everything else the same.

... and our players aren't just celebrating their own accomplishments. they are sharing the joy of each others play. watch the replay of what they did after Lance got his triple double. sure Lance was excited but PG knew the significance of his basket for Lance and the whole bench joined in to cheer Lance.

This is the reason I hate the Pacers,

they can celebrate the small things all they want, I never said they should stop. when you celebrate the small things it takes your focus off the bigger picture, if only just a little bit. you're a fan of a team that has very little playoff success in recent years so i'll cut you some slack.

he went from doing this:


celebrating like this:

he knew there were bigger things in that series and he was right. you must not watch very much of LeBron at all to say that 'everything else is the same'.

Okay, guy.

Oh I'm sorry my team never went out a bought there team to win championships like the heat. And that the Pacers aren't a huge market team where they can go out and get 2 superstars when needed.

[quote="JohnnyNightrain"]Man, this team is hilarious to watch. Why do they act like they just won the Super Bowl after almost every shot? Tonight, Hibbert hit a basket at the end of the half, a basket that didn't put them up or even tie, and then he started prowling around the court, staring down the crowd, like some pro wrestler. And why does Paul George start scowling and tugging on his jersey after every basket? And Lance Stephenson... ha. It's too funnye


This pacer team is very obnoxious. You said it all. George thinks he is badass after every shot and I'll tell you right now, that cocky attitude isn't gonna win them a thing. Cockiness and confidence are two different things. Hibbert and George have issues and then Lance is literally psycho. Out of control and crazy. This Pacer team is very good but they remind me of the clippers with all the celebrating.

I agree they seem hungry. But it translates into very weird showboating and unnecessary celebrating. They are very similar to clippers in the celebrating and thinking their **** don't stink.

[Wizop]

Paul and Lance are 23. Sometimes they act their age. whether that is weird or unnecessary is in the eye of the beholder. there is a line not to cross where the other team feels disrespected but I'm too far removed from their peer group to be able to judge whether they've crossed it.

Yeah, this thread isn't going anywhere nearly useful.
