Pacers

[pnete]

You gotta be kidding me. Mark Jackson kissing ref butt thinking he could get Knick job.

The Pacers need a coach that will cut out all that B.S. I think Bogel has lost that team and plus their young. Lance Stephenson doesn't help the situation . A new voice is needed or get rid of the distractions. And yes , I just stated the obvious .

This game looks pretty similar to the UConn-Louisville game to end the season. So basically the Pacers will go on to win the national championship.

They need to take out Lance, the Heat are going to send Haslem or some other 12th man to cheap shot him.

Pacers played like they basically didn't want to get eliminated on their home court. Also, while Lance is an idiot, Bill Simmons making this all about him and laying the blame at his feet is nonsense, him and West were the only 2 that showed up in the 1st half while George and Hill did nothing and Hill looked scared out there. I said it last year and its still plain as day now, the Pacers really need to upgrade at PG, Hill is garbage.

Altered that for you. That's literally what I read.

He would have it coming. A punk of the highest order on a team full of frauds.

lol yea, this tweet that I saw during halftime of Game 3 last week pretty much sums things up in regards to Simmons, you just gotta basically tune him out during these games

An NBA player and NBA coach sit quietly as Bill Simmons tells us what's on the mind of an athlete.

I never bought into the Pacers. George Hill is probably the worst starting point guard in the league, Stephenson is talented but a knucklehead, Paul George has superstar talent but is an enigma, Hibbert is soft as Charmin, David West is a really good veteran and the only guy I respect on the team. My biggest beef is I always get the sense the Pacers consider themselves some great team when in reality they've done nothing. As for Bill Simmons I give him credit for taking his Real World/Different Strokes column and turning it into an empire but the guy is a pompous putz these days.

More like the heat wanted to win and advance on their home floor lol

Lance went to far with the BS, but this "should they bring him back?" Stuff is pure crap. He was 2nd in scoring while leading that team in assists and rebounds this season. He is also their 2nd best perimeter defender. All that and he is only 23. He will be the most sought after free-agent on the market unless Memo opts out.. and maybe even then.

His teammates don't like him.. they think he's selfish and immature.. during the season, he would "steal" rebounds from his teammates to pad his numbers for his impending free agency.. there's lots of stories floating around about their combustible lockerroom.. talent doesn't trump chemistry

Kid is clearly a jackass, but people will overlook that for a talented player. He needs strong leadership to grow him up. A lot of the GMs saying they wouldn't have him on their team will be among the o first to call his agent when the season ends.

I still think 90% of Indiana's problems can just be traced back to Roy Hibbert. The Heat destroyed Indiana's league-best defense by pulling Hibbert away from the basket and attacking the rim, and Roy had no answer on the other end.
