  1. Pacers are totally falling off the cliff without VO. It started before he left because they were getting behind early only to come back late in the game.
  2. Vic was not the one that threw the ball away, it was Bodnovich(sp)?
  3. I am a little concern on how Vic is playing the last few games. He seems to be trying to do to much on his own instead of playing as a team. What made the Pacers good and fun to watch was the ball movement and sharing the ball.
  4. Not trying to be snarky but he complains any time someone bashes PG. If he knows people are doing this then why bother reading them if he does not like it. HH is snarky to anyone who does not agree with him on this topic so why to I get ridiculed when I post what I did.
  5. Then don't because nobody is making you read these post.
  6. After watching the Pacers and Celtics tonight made me appreciate more how good of a coach Brad Stevens is. This is the first time I really got to see them and besides Irving the Pacers roster is as good as the Celtics. Both teams had starters out with Victor out for the Pacers and Brown and Morris for the Celtics. There are a lot of players on their roster who played I have never heard of. Their second unit tonight are not championship caliber players but wit Stevens as coach he has them playing well.
  7. In your opinion he is and just because you say it I does not mean it is a fact. I just did not like him as a player and grew tired of his act on and off the court. I also never said VO is a better player but just a better fit for the team concept that the Pacers are implementing. I will take going forward the combo of VO and Sabonis over PG.
  8. This is the most fun I had watching the Pacers in a long time. Even the teams that went to the ECF a few years ago was not that entertaining to watch. Like I have said before I lost all respect for PG when he declined to play the 4 for personal reasons and did not do what the team asked of him. Also his constant whining got to me where I couldn't stand watching him. He also did not come to play every night and coasted on some nights.
  9. I have never understood your love affair with Paul George. it seems like you will defend him to your death while most are on a different side than you when it comes to PG. He is a very good player but it is not like he is a all time great player where he is one of the best of all time.
  10. Pacers on a 3 game losing streak but should have won all 3 of them. The last two they blew big half time leads and totally collapsed in the 4th quarter. Last night they scored 75 points in the first half but only 37 in the second half.
  11. I just know I have not enjoyed watching the Pacers the last few years and this year I really like watching this team. They actually play great team basketball and share the ball well. Sabonis and Boronovich both really know how to play the game and are very fundamentally sound basketball players.
  12. I think they had lost like 12 straight games on the 2nd game of a back to back. I think he is just trying to find any little excuse to not give the Pacers credit.
  13. Then why did you say that they never made the ECF then.
  14. They did to make the ECF in the 90's so I have no idea what you are talking about. They were in the ECF in 94, 95, 98, 99, and 2000 while going to the NBA championship.
  15. The NBA back in the 90's were a lot better than the NBA of today and it is not close. You had more quality depth in the NBA instead of 2 or 3 really great teams that you have today. With expansion it has totally diluted the NBA where it has taken the competitive balance away in the NBA. I would take the Kicks and even the Magic with Shaq and Hardaway over those Heat teams.
  16. Just because you don't agree with people doesn't make them clowns.
  17. When I lost respect for PG was when they wanted to use him at the 4 and he refused to do it. To me a player does what the coach thinks is best for the team.. To me PG put himself in front of the team and i never could respect him again. if you live in the Indy area you would know that a lot of the media did not really have to much respect for PG as well and it has been going on more than a year.
  18. It is everybody's team and not just one player like it was with PG
  19. I never said they are a contending team but I feel like this trade is a lot better for the Pacers than you give it credit. I think this team is a lot more enjoyable to watch because of the style of play. They no longer use a lot of one on one isolation like they did with PG.. You see ball movement and off the ball screens and Sabonis is great at setting screens. You don't see players whining to officials after every call like PG did.
  20. Pacers were without two key players as well in Turner and Robinson.
  21. It is the same San Antonio team that came in 4-1 without Leonard.
  22. Watching the Pacers/Spurs game and the Pacers need to get rid of Lance Stephenson. He can't play in this up tempo ball movement type of offense. He stops the ball and thinks he has to do everything one on one and it clogs up the offense/
  23. He seems to get worse every year. A few weeks back I was watching an old IU game in the 92 tournament and Buckner was doing the game. He did a very good job then but he is going downhill lately.
  24. Also did anyone else get tire do the Pacers broadcast last night because Quinn Buckner is so annoying on the broadcast. He was whining about every call last night and he cuts off the play by play guy all the time. Also noticed that PG was his old self last night constantly whining to the officials last night.
  25. her in Indy there are a lot people around the team who disagree with about PG mentality. The public address announcer for the Pacers and has a talk show talked about how PG was not mentally tough. Heard one long time journalist Mark Montieth who said he always backed PG but looking at it that PG had one foot out the door every since he joined the pacers.
