IU Scott

I thought it was Kent Sterling that had something similar to that

My fear would be if RMK wanted to come but did not want it to get out and now people are hearing about it might make him change his mind.

He should come in behind the bench and slap Archie on the back like he did the first time Alford came in coaching Iowa

Also wonder if it will be made known if he is there so they can recognize him or will he just sit up in the suite and just watch without fan fare.

At lunch yesterday I went out and caught the end of a conversation that DD was having with Sage Steel and they were talking about RM coming back. I was to the point where I did not care if he came back because he should have came back for the 76 team. Now I hope he does so he can see that his fans still love him and he can get some closure. Also I think it would be good for IU as well and maybe this could be a step to get the former players to feel more included with IU today. Also if you beleive in curses maybe this will stop the curse of IU basketball. LOL!

To me you have to keep McConnell in the rotation and if that is at that is at the expense of A. holiday then so be it.

When VO gets back to starting then Lamb will go to the 2nd unit and lately they have went small on the second unit with one big and 4 guards and wings.

I am interested to see who will lose minutes once VO gets back and plays. Everyone they have played in the backcourt and wings has played very well. McConnell and both Holidays have to keep playing and right now McDermott is the second leading 3 point shooter in the league.

Also need to get Brogdon back and healthy but I think it won't be until next year until we see VO back to be totally back.

I understand where you are coming from and I have been disappointed how we have played the last few games. Even in those games we had stretches that shows what kind of team we can be. We just have to be able to play 40 minutes like that with less drop off. I guess the thing that keeps me going on Archie was how well regarded he was when he took this job. Also I hold out hope since we have seen some of the great coaches out there struggle their first 3 or 4 years and turned it around.

Why be so negative all the time

I know the pacer are playing pretty well this year but once again they lost to one of the lesser teams tonight, They lost to Atlanta tonight and they have also lost to Detroit 3 times, Cleveland, Charlotte and New Orleans. It is starting to become a trend that Brogdon keeps missing games and that is starting to effect this team,

Have to go back to the early to mid 80's

I am actually surprised when you said that they missed the playoffs 10 times in that time frame because I would have thought it was less than that.

They have had a winning home record for 30 straight years and only San Antonio has had a longer streak.

Just saw that former NBA commissioner David Stern dies today

He left early with some back problems

Pacers win again and now are 20-9 with a win against Sacramento. Had 7 in double figures which is happening a lot and Justin Holiday had 8 so close to 8 in double figures. Being a balance team is what is helping the Pacers to this record and I hope when VO comes back he won't think he has to score 25 a game. Since the 0-3 start the Pacers has the 3rd best record in the NBA.

I never said anything bad about Kawai not being a great player. I just don't like PG from the time he was not a team player when they asked him to play the 4. Also can't stand how he was two face and said he wanted to be here at the softball game then the next day it came out he asked to be traded.

I don't see Toronto winning last year if PG was the guy instead of Kawai

to me yes it does because if the players are healthy they should play especially on road games. If they need to have some load management why not cut down on working out in the summer time to let your body heal from the long season.

I knew you would be coming around to see the light. To me if the players today is way more physically fit than the players of the past they should be able to play more minutes.

Big win for the Pacers as they beat the Lakers 105-102/ Now 18-9 but that is only good for 6th in the East right now.

Wonder if all of them will be a fall signee or will some wait until the spring to sign.

Problem is I think part of the problem with recruiting is the perception that he is already on the hot seat. I know people don't want to believe it but when fans constantly criticize the coach and talk about them being on a hot seat only hurts recruiting. You don't think other coaches don't use that in negative recruiting when they see the fan turning on the coach.
