This Pacers team is one lazy bunch. No wonder they're struggling.

David West is the culprit. He doesn't even move defensively to help Hibbert.

In Miami, he can spot up and hit 3s while LeBron and Wade run the offense. In Charlotte, unless we bring in different players on the wings that can handle the ball better than what we have now, I think Chalmers would really struggle to lead the 2nd unit.

Don't let the oversaturation of Lebron and Wade being very ball dominant players make you doubt Chalmers. He's a solid ball handler and decision maker. I don't like him but I can admit that he's decent. I respect that he cam accept and play his role admirably with the Heat.

This.

I don't doubt he'd be a better backup than Luke Ridnour, but I'd take Ramon Sessions back ten times out of ten over trying to take Chalmers out of Miami. Chalmers does what Miami needs him to do, and nothing more. I don't think he'd even lead a 2nd unit very well.

I think Mario would be a quality backup but we would need another ball handler to go with him

I think Mario is a good player. I just don't think he's the best fit on our roster as a backup PG.

Why do people think Chalmers can't handle the ball? He's a solid ball handler and he can make shots. He's a perfect backup. It's as if people forgot that he was half decent before Lebron came along.

He can but having more than 1 person who can handle the ball is always helpful

I feel bad trying to make a case for Chalmers. I don't even like him or anybody on the Heat. Lol

We would've killed the Pacers....our terrible luck

I really wish we drafted Beal instead of MKG. He's been playing extremely well so far.

Call me crazy but Bismack might be a better offensive player than Hibbert

Hibbert has no heart. He's one of those players that when things start going bad he worry himself into making it worst and when things are going good he ride that momentum into playing like a all-star. Like they said he's mentally fragile.

That is a Roy Hibbert-sized understatement.

These are Hibbert's last 12 games. If you'd showed me those stats without any context and told me a Pacer put up those numbers, I'd expect that to be Hibbert's backup, Ian Mahinmi, not the All-Star center himself

If OKC don't fire Brooks after these playoffs I will never get my hopes up to cheer for them again. Dead on arrival.

To think the Wizards could be us...smh

Ugh. The Thunder are playing Lambo. He's looking good too. This is only going to make them want to keep him. F*ck!

Garbage minutes. Would like to see him get inserted in some meaningful minutes.

Something is going on with Hibbert than none of us know about. Im honestly beginning to feel sorry for him. West and Rasual Butler apparently lit into his ass post game. Will be interesting to see how he comes out next game.

The Warriors just fired Jackson,probably made the players mad as hell
