Since there isn't always gamedays, I thought I'd make this thread so we have a place we can talk about the games if there isn't another thread to post in.
Anyone see last nights game? I missed it. First thing to that popped out at me when I looked at the box score is it looks like the combo of Hibbert, West and Hansbrough are still rebounding amazingly well. Only 3 games in but a nice sign so far.
Rough night for George going 0-4. He get locked down, or just have a bad game?
Pacers are #2 in the league at 20.5 free throws made per game, only behind OKC. Who would've thought that last year? I remember when we couldn't get to the line at all while Derrick Rose got there every other trip down the floor during the first round of the playoffs.
Absolutely love George Hill and everything he brings to the table. That trade worked out good for the Spurs too though. I've heard nothing but great things about Kawhi Leonard.
While I don't mind Dwight being out, Pacers aren't going to get any credit for making the second round. Gonna have to make some noise in the Semis to attract any attention.
Indiana Pacers forwards Danny Granger and David West have been fined $25,000 each for their parts in an incident with Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game, the NBA announced today.
Sanders was suspended for two games without pay.
Granger and West were fined for "instigating and adding to the escalation of an on-court incident."
Sanders was suspended the two games without pay for "initiating an altercation, failing to leave the court in a timely manner and actions following his ejection."
Sanders started having words with George Hill when West came to his teammate's defense. Sanders acted like he was going to go after West, but never got close. Granger also exchanged words with Sanders.
Me either. He's already like 10th all time scoring for the Pacers and easily has a chance to be 2nd in the next couple seasons. I'd like to see him be our Paul Pierce.
If you told me at the beginning of the season that we would finish 3rd in the East I would be one happy man. I'll be 100% satisfied for the year if we go to Round 2 and take Miami to at least 6 hard fought games.
Does anyone in this thread have a link to Eric Gordon hinting at or directly indicating that he would be interested in coming to the Pacers this offseason?
To save you some time, Gordon never comes out and says anything. Its pure speculation. For some reason I remembered Gordon hinting he'd like to come, but I can't find it anywhere.
And I'm glad that Pacers fans have finally accepted Danny Granger for what he is. I remember he had a lot of hype coming up and then he had a couple rough years and most of y'all kinda disliked him for a mintue. Good to him producing and leading a winning team.
Don't think we'll be able to with Hibbert being resigned and hopefully us resigning Hill this offseason.
We'll see. I'd like to get him by any means necessary without gutting the team. You upgrade the SG spot with Gordon and now you have Paul George coming off the bench? That's deep. Real deep. You'd have to lose Barbosa, which sucks because I've loved the guy so far, but to get Eric Gordon its a no brainer.
Where do you guys think Hibbert's ceiling is? He's a pretty well rounded big but lacks that one trait that could make him beocme a dominant player instead of a fringe allstar. His size could be pretty huge in future matchups between y'all and Miami/Chicago
Perennial allstar in the East is the ceiling I think. He isn't the type of big who is going to get 23-25 every night, but he's improving and I could see him being a 20/10 guy in the future if everything pans out. I'm not expecting it though.
Roy Hibbert - I think he'll be a solid 15/10/2 for a while, maybe peaking around 17/12/3. I'm not sure he'll be a perennial all-star with Horford in the conference, but we'll see.
George Hill - Love him, but he should be a 6th man of the year candidate as opposed to a starter. This team needs a real PG, and I hope we look at Steve Nash this off season.
Eric Gordon - He'd be a great addition, but at the expense of Hill and Barbosa. Plus, it'd be very difficult to give him, Granger, and George all the minutes they need considering Eric's not going to play PG.

We need to make some noise in the playoffs this year for Steve Nash to even give us a look. He would be the perfect addition to the team though and would bring out the best of everyone on the floor.
Pretty sure we need to make a play for Gordon or Nash/Williams.
I love Paul George, and I know its only his second year, but hes just not a reliable scorer come playoff time. This team either needs a go to guy, or a premier set up man to get the ball to our players in crunch time.
