You should forget stats a little and try to watch some games.

What is Bogut doing that warrants placement ahead of Hibbert thus far? He's regressed back to the solid but unnoteworthy player he was prior to last season, and the Bucks are on pace to win a whopping 29 games.

Indeed the stats suggest that a Center shooting at 47% isn't a really good thing.

They have a good young core of guys and to add Collison is a good PG. Havent seen much of them play this season though. Is Roy Hibbert still soft down in the paint? I mean, he's getting his numbers (15 and 9 on 29mpg) but its still different on how they play. IMO they just need that post presence like when Jermaine O'Neal or Dale Davis was there. I think they have a chanc eto make the playoffs.

i think they should try to pry Ekpe Udoh away from GS, although since he was a high pick and they haven't even seen what he can do yet...it might be unlikely, however with Biedrins and Lee as their starting frontcourt, they may be willing to part with him for the right price who knows. He would be an outstanding young PF prospect that would see a ton of minutes and develop well with Indys young core

the Pacers are still a threat...just ask Kobe tonight

Kobe? That's a bad example lol. He was clutch in the fourth and had a career high in points. We're still a threat in the eastern conference for sure.

slickrickstyles · Post #87 » by **slickrickstyles** » Mon Nov 29, 2010 5:12 am

It was a statement saying that even though he hit 40 the Pacers still won

Right, forget my dumbassness.

I'm impressed. They've already steamrolled the top-2 championship favourites (Miami was one of them coming into the season).

I like the pacers. They need one more legit threat, at the very least, but I am a fan of defensive minded clubs and teams that build the right way.

Who'd have thought the Pacers could beat the Lakers in LA with Kobe scoring 41 and the Pacers shooting terrible from behind the arc (4/21 I think). If the Pacers had made a couple of those wide open threes, Kobe doesn't even make this game close.

The Pacers suck. They lucked out because Bryan Colangelo is a moron and was in "Euro love" mode and at the time was trading away any picks he could get his grubby hands on for additional pink pigment.

They also came thisclose to beating the Thunder and gave the Magic and Spurs a great fight. I agree, one more piece and the time needed to develop chemistry, and they should be a perennial 50+ win team.

IndyMac · Post #99 » by **IndyMac** » Tue Nov 30, 2010 3:11 am

Roy Hibbert, TJ Ford & Rasho Nesterovic for Jermaine O'Neal
Brandon Rush, Josh McRoberts & Jarrett Jack for Berryd Bayless & Ike Diogu
Darren Collison & James Posey for Troy Murphy

I don't think repeatedly winning on trades can be called luck.

I meant career high this season. My English isn't good as I'm originally from Bosnia.
