I can't stop laughing when I read this.

I think I need to make some more JOB pictures. I saw a guy hijack won and use it as his avy on Pacer's Digest.

The Bulls started out like I though they would then totally got out of sync.. Seeing such horrible play on the other end will do that to ya. Its like playing golf and the guy before you just shanked one 30 yards out of the fairway.. where do you think your shot is going? lol

Yay for Boozer doing whatever he wanted.

And yay for Posey looking like the old man he is.. He could barely hit the rim tonight. He is going to get someone hurt undercutting people like he has been doing.

How many air balls for the Pacers? I think I counted 5.

what is happening with roy lately?

what is happening with roy lately?

He gets doubled pretty much whenever he touches the ball. All the more reason to get a starting power forward.

[chube]

^^^ Exactly.

And of the guys on our roster, the one who actually shown he halfway deserves to be the starting PF (McBob), plays only 16 minutes tonight. Pfft.

Last night was the first I've watched the Pacers this season. The main problem seems to be sloppy rotations in regards to lineups. As I was watching the game last night I kept thinking "The Pacers are playing hard and they can't get themselves rolling".

Ford/Collinson did a fantastic job of dogging Rose. I was really impressed. In my eyes Ford is the better player between the two, though I don't know how you guys feel about that. I've liked Ford's game since Texas though, I think he's a legit player who should be a starter.

Other than your PG's, I saw no consistency. While everyone played hard, there was never a flow to the Pacer's game. Big stop, missed shot. Nice board, rushed possession. Posey kills you guys, but what can you do? He's out there, he's going to have to shoot those open shots.

Hibbert seemed like you could make him disappear. Pay some attention to him and he'll lose a bit of his focus and kind of just melt into the game.

Still, the Pacers played hard, I actually didn't mind them as a team. The talent level isn't really there for you guys yet, though if you guys play as hard as you played tonight you can make a series pretty tough on a higher seed IMO.

thanks...our flow being so bad had a lot to do with granger being out..but mainly it has to do with our POS coach...posey played 32 minutes last night...there is no reason for that...ever..on any team...o'douche needs a one way ticket out of town..he doesnt build his gameplan around his talent, he has his own ideological gameplan that he is pretty sure the basketball gods handpicked him to run, so the players must run that, even if it doesnt suit their talents, or they sit..ala collison..its ridiculous...the only thing consistent about his rotations is being inconsistent and the fact that he will not play paul george for anything. solo jones played more minutes last night than roy hibbert...in what universe is that a good idea, no matter how much hibbert was struggling? we play good hard defense, and that is what keeps us in games...our offense is good at times, but usually is stagnant, and players stand around and watch the guy with the ball...the pacers need just 2 things in mine, and most of the pacers fans on this board's opinion...a legit starting pf...and a new coach.

[jcodbf2]

The Pacers have a serviceable PF who can do a little of everything.. He is sitting on the bench because JOB thinks Posey clanking 3s gives them the best chance to win. What is Posey shooting now after last nights game? It couldnt be any higher than 30% TOTAL not just from 3.

I would prefer Tyler to start because I think he is a better all around player. He also has what the Pacers need and thats toughness. Either way he offers to much on the court to be relegated to garbage time.

NO, McRoberts or Hansbrough shouldn't be starters in this league. Good bench players, but not starters. We need a capable starter. It should be obvious that is the 2nd biggest thing that kills this team, next to, well you know...

[jcodbf2]

Did I say anything about starting Hansbrough and not trying to get a legit starter? No I didnt. I think you just glanced over the post and started assuming.

Of the PFs on the current Roster I think Tyler is more capable of producing as a starter. Plus he has played what? less than 50 games? We dont know what he could be. For me I think he could be a solid 14 points / 8 rebound player given the chance. Until the offense changes.. getting another PF isnt going to help much.

[jnzook]

bottom line is we have stop gap pf's....neither of them are capable starters in the league, but def. serviceable backups...i hope we resign mcbob and have him and t-hans backing up whomever we get in whatever fashion to be our starter at the 4...and as for McSquats O'brien....id rather have a turd that fell out of snooki's fat ass on our sidelines coaching than O'douche and his douche-tastic hand picked coaches..Walter McFarty and Vitaly GettheFoutofhere-topenko

Indeed. However I really doubt both McRoberts and Hansbrough will both be on the team next year if the Pacers do get a PF.
