He's a headcase? I am not sure if you know what you are talking about. No need to act like a Pacers expert because you finally watched one of our games.
I gotta agree with him a bit on Lance. He's been a bit of a headcase to varying degrees throughout his entire life, and especially with the Pacers. His assault charge shortly after draft day? His getting in fights with veterans his 1st 2 years? His choke sign last year to Lebron in the playoffs as he was planted on the bench? His constant flexing at the Knicks fans last series?
I think there will always be a "knuckle-headedness" level with Lance that I'm uncomfortable with. Remember, Ron had it all put together for long stretches here too, but the knucklehead will almost always emerge at some point. The question is, "To what degree?" and "How much are you willing to deal with?"
I don't know. I think you're searching deep right there trying to find anything on Lance. Flexing his muscles as he's happy to score on the Knicks in a physical series as underdogs? Whats next, you guys gonna tell me Mutombo was a headcase because did waved his finger after blocks or Russell Westbrook is a headcase because he flexes his muscles after dunks?
I don't think Lance is a headcase in the same way Artest he is. Lance is more of a "fearless" crazy in that he's not afraid to go 3 on one or take an ill-advised shot because he's so confident that he's going to make it. Yes, at times, that really hurts this team. At other times, it helps us because we have someone who isn't afraid at all of the big moment (See Game 6 against the Knicks).
