The Heat own us.

It's kind of hard to watch a bunch of competitors not compete. If they don't care then neither do I..... F'em.

I think it's NBATV. What are we, 0-3 on NBATV if we lose this game? I hate the channel because I can't watch the games.

Hopefully this isn't what we have to look forward to in the future. This game has been pathetic and the Pacers probably have no chance of beating the Heat in the playoffs but now we have 20% of the board(only have like 10 fans here) pissed off at the team. Guess I'll take a break from the board if this is how it's going to be. It was bad enough when we had armchair basketball players bashing Granger. A couple losses later and it's the whole team.

See ya guys in a couple weeks or something. I want no part in bashing the team or listening to people bash em. It's about the same as changing a crying baby with a poopy diaper. I don't need to come here for that. Just remember..... Pacers rule!

We gotta em right where we want em! :wink:

Nah, it's probably over but I'm hoping I come home to a miracle comeback win. I'll settle for sometime night time fun with the chica.

Thankfully RealGM is much broader than just the Pacers team page.

You can go where you like quitter. You've done nothing but support the status quo with this team, and now your not fan enough to defend tonights performance.

I've wanted to trade Granger for two years now, so you can't say I'm being irrational, or haphazardly suggesting trades.

Just so you know we traded Dale Davis, A. Davis, Detlef, JRose, MJackson, Harrington, SJax, Artest and many other players during our peak years. You act like Granger replaced Reggie or something. Unfortuantely, Granger is not a leader, and his shot selection is nowhere near as efficient. The NBA is defined by trades, you shouldn't get so defensive.

Did Granger get hurt tonight? why were his minutes so low?

^^Ankle sprain.

I know where Bone stands, and it's a valid position to take in terms of trading Granger. I personally don't happen to agree, but it is what it is. This team should be performing better, but I think it's more an issue of effort rather than talent. We still haven't seen the ceiling on this team. We're young and these slow starts are going to kill us if they continue, but given all the circumstances the season has still been a good one. A 4-game losing streak is a test for this team's mental toughness.

To me, trading Granger is a lot more reasonable than some of the trades people on other boards have in mind for their own players. So if you want a homer-lovey-dovey-everyone-loves-the-team experience, it's not here.

I personally don't care how far out your opinions are, as long as they are grounded in some sort of logic that isn't knee-jerk reaction or extreme bias. The fact that we have the level of discourse on this forum overall to begin with is already amazing, given the internet.
