Around the NBA 9.0 (Playoffs Edition)

[IggieCC]

Yeah, I'm glad that we ended up with Oden.

He didn't quite become the player I wanted him to be for this team, but we ended up not needing him as much since Hibbert has regressed to a dustpan. Some NBA analyst (Maybe SVG?) said that the next year Oden might get back to where he needs to be in terms of getting his legs under him and all that stuff.. NBA ready and I would like to believe that and hope the team will give him another shot. The guy is a willing worker and we should appreciate him for trying his hardest this year.

He's done, at least with Oden you have a character that is willing to work to get back in the game so we have a chance at him turning things around like Livingston has for himself, it just won't be this year, it might be next year or the year after but at veteran minimum the investment and expectations is low risk high reward... Bynum has no desire of continuing to play basketball.

Man do I feel like an ass thinking maybe if Bynum came here he could help somehow, and then all this talk about how he'd help the Pacers in the playoffs. I think he just lost of a lot of peoples respect EVEN MORE. This dude is just unreliable and not trust worthy. He is just making money off of his size without even playing meaningful minutes. It's a bit sad really.

lol@Pacers picking him up though to get him off our hands when he wasn't helpful anyway. KARMA

whats funny is at first I didn't want NONE of him and thought he was a bum and a snake, but changed my mind to give him a chance. Next time I'll just stick to my instincts lol

beal+wall duo might have higher ceiling than splash brothers

[DefenseWins]

Washington has nice composure to be honest

Reminds me of our team when at times we let some team get out on a lead, but then slow down the pace and get back in it.

[Vertical Limit]

Feels like Indiana outplayed Washington so far yet they're tied. lol Washington probably absorbed Indiana's best punch,

[Tony15]

Wizards players are gonna have to live with that....Indy is gonna get ALL the calls tonight. PG fouled Webster like 3 times there, and nothing

Curry > Wall, but Beal > Thompson IMO anyways. I think overall it balances out.

I'm sure Wizards will get their own home cooking, they already stole one game. This is just a bonus if they can really stick it to them.

[Amorphous Blob]

Lmao Hibbert is cheesing.

[IggieCC]

It's really hard to predict what's going to happen with players with knee injuries. I surely thought that Livingston was DONE forever after his first torn Every part of his knee injury. He has come back to a serviceable player now.

So, there is no shame in taking a chance with Bynum, or hoping to get him for minimum.
In Bynum's case, he lacks character in order to overcome his injuries, so it's most likely a lost cause.
I appreciate the Heat organization for assessing character as well as talent to bring in. We didn't need guys like Bynum and Evan Turner to replace quality players like Oden and Halsem.

Gortat facialized Mahimi and now Hibbert

[IggieCC]

So Hibbert finally decided to play, and the rest of the Pacers decided to take a night off?

This whole team is a joke

[SweetTouch]

John walls misses are horrible

Worst shooter in the nba easily

[IggieCC]

Yeah maybe. The disturbing thing about this year's Wizards is that they can sustain horrible shooting from Wall and still win ball games (or at least keep it competitive)... as they have demonstrated so far tonight.

[Golden Angel]

Did Roy Hibbert slept with PG's wife last night?

[WD]

Hibbert is having a good game, gonna give him props, this is why I seldom use ABSOLUTE words to describe a performance of a player or a team....Anything can happen, win or lose, Hibbert bounced back great tonight.

[IggieCC]

True. I def. spoke too soon about his regression to a small child level.

He bounced back on the offensive end though.. on the other end Marcin Gortat is having a great time

Paul George suddenly realizes that he is simply not that good.

[Amorphous Blob]

Man Beal is awesome to watch.

[Amorphous Blob]

The **** has gotten into Hibbert.
