It can't just be the trade.

Do y'all think that there's something to the rumor about one of the Pacers players sleeping with a teammate's wife?

Idk... I remember MediaTakeOut was right about the Rex Ryan foot fetish thing and some other stuff
There's definitely something more to this that we don't know about. Yet.

The Pacers are an embarrassment.

We do, but a Hawk is fine too.

[Jay81]

winning tomorrow probably guarantees 3 more home games for Ted if not more...maybe we can sniff the luxury tax lol

Assuming Washington advances, I'd prefer that the Wizards play the Hawks.

[Jay81]

hibbard had zero points tonight lol?

Holy crap, I didn't even realize Washington would have home court under that scenario.

Pacers didn't melt down, they just got a taste of the Big Sh'Mack Attack!

even when Grunfeld makes the right pick he loses.

Dejuan Blair was destroying San Antonio, but he got ejected for kicking Splitter in the head.

They got Bynum on the team. He was rumored to have slept with an assistant coach's wife back in Cleveland.....Lol....

Wow...That's crazy yo. If they were winning Paul George would be getting mad attention right now. He's taking up all of Hibbert's rebounds. Hibbert ought to be ashamed of himself for his effort yo. No excuse to not show up for the playoffs. I don't care how mad you are at your teammates. You still got work to do.

Ji, the luxury tax isn't just a matter of digging into an owner's pocket; the new CBA also puts teams who pay the luxtax at a competitive disadvantage in terms of the size of exceptions they can use to sign players and the types of trades they can make. We don't want Ted paying the luxtax unless we're a legit, elite title contender and are trying to win a title. We're a long way off from that.

Hibbert has been indisputably terrible. But Indy's problems go so, so much deeper than just one guy. Their offense and defense both suck -- with and without Hibbert.

True. Hibbert's transgressions are the most egregious to me though. I get that he is upset and he has a right to be but cmon, don't let your effort suffer just because you got beef with someone. But hell even Vogel deserves a lot of blame for not getting the locker room back to normal. Unfortunately for him, he will be the fall guy in this disaster. Its pretty bad from the top down. Everybody has a big part. Larry bird especially for making the trade, Stevenson for being selfish, Hibbert for being selfish, PG for those horrible two months (though not his fault that the media wanted to crown him the next superstar), George Hill and David West for sucking and so forth.

Larry Bird's culpability has been significantly underplayed. He let Gerald Green and Hansbrough walk and replaced them with worse players. The Copeland contract is awful. The Granger-Turner trade did nothing for them. Scola is a minus player at this point. The entire back end of that rotation sucks, as does their deep bench.

Noone is giving Atlants credit. They have three-point shooters at every position. They are beating Indiana.
