#Pacers C Roy Hibbert wandered over to press row during a TO and mockingly made a reference to the #Magic dancing and celebrating in Game 1.


I flippin knew it... I knew it! :evil: :evil: :evil:

I said it a few days ago... Duhon's stupid travel dance (as "humorous" as it was) was going to come back and bite us in the butt... Indiana was going to use that as motivation to play harder... just like last year when Nelson said to D-Rose, "See you guys in the 2nd round" and Atlanta used that as motivation to smash us.

Our players don't use their brains much do they?

Obviously there are more prominent reasons why we are losing this series... but seriously, Duhon, you're not helping... on the court or off the court... please GTFO our team.

Freakin hate Du-Du... clown.

The Pacers were jumping up and down since pre-game of game 1. . . They're not ones to talk, or mock in this case.

Exactly! But here's the difference between our team and other teams. Our team is soft. Our team doesn't do anything when they see other teams talking smack or showboat dancing. They have no back-bone. Our team believes in cuddly bears and pink flowers in fluffy clouds when playing these games. Everything is a big joke to them, on the court and on the bench. And when the going gets tough, they fold and their body language turns into that of a high school emo kid.

On the flip-side, other teams see us dancing and laughing and they start "Seeing Red" in their eyes. They go into Rage Mode and KILL us. They are no nonsense. They use anything and everything they can find as motivation to destroy us. That's what a killer instinct and competitive edge means to tough-minded teams. It's a powerful tool. Unfortunately we're not tough, we are really soft. We let other teams step on us. We don't get mad or angry. We don't fight back when we see Pacers players talking smack and acting like clowns celebrating. And when the going gets tough, we wallow and give up. Pacers on the other-hand continue to fight back and get mad; staying motivated and focused. They want to destroy us. I wish the Magic would have that kind of killer mentality, but they don't because our roster is filled with softies.

I hope Duhon dances his way off our team one day.

No one gave us good value for Dwight this past season. And I promise you that Bynum trade would not have gone down because Dwight did not agree to an extension with the Lakers.

Again, I'll say it again, Orlando CAN trade him, even in the Summer if they wanted to. And that team would have Dwight for the entire season NOT just a 2 month rental.


First off

Thelead: don't put that stupid quote by orlmagicgirl under my name :lol:

Yeah orlando CAN trade him..obviously..but it's not just black and white...they definitely do not have the leverage

Orlando isn't going to trad him unless they know negotiations are done with Dwight, or Dwight demands out

Stupid quote? Whatever.

Orlando has the leverage of trading Dwight or not. It isn't going to depend on where Dwight wants to go. Dwight wanted to go to NJN this season but it came out that Orlando would try and do the Lakers deal if Dwight didn't waive his ETO. So, like I said before, it's in Orlando's hands.

Bring Ryan in with that second unit.....Hedo can't be any worse defending West than ryan could he? plus Hedo is about as tall if not taller than West.......i'm half-kidding but stan has to do something different.....his job could be on the line if it isn't already a forgone conclusion.....


this make sense. Let them adjust. It is not like hedo could do a worse job on David west and west might be slow for hedo on offense.

I would start earl or liggins at 3 instead j rich though and still have JJ come off of the bench. We do need scoring off the bench, too and JJ is REALLY undersized against Paul George. One man is listed at 6 4 generously (I am 6 1 and he was not taller than me) and the other is conservatively 6 9 who is athletic as hell.

Throw some speed and athleticism at them. Get Ish in their, get Liggins, Wafer, and Clark in the game more. Get some athletes out there running up and down.

:) I mostly reply so I can clarify to anyone who reads this thread what I mean when I say that "it's up to Orlando". It is of no consequence and I'm sure many don't care, but if people are misunderstanding me, I just wanted to clear it up.

Yep, and it's always the same concerns and criticism at the end of the season for the past 3 years. Our FO needs to do a lot of work in the off-season... I mean A WHOLE LOT OF WORK... sigh.

Mmmm. Wendy's Frosty, you are delicious. You almost make me forget.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
