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?

Looks like its all going to come down to our game Friday against the Heat. If we can win that one, we should be able tog take the lead back.

I say rest the starters vs the Bucks, maybe see if you can get them on Doctor Phil before the Miami game and get everything sorted out, then go all out against the Heat and try to right the ship before playoffs.

D-Wade just needs to retire after the season. Dude is going to be 38 in a wheelchair

From what? Not every playing a single game of basketball?


Hes a pussy, not some injured warrior. Health wise Lebron is probably more banged up. Wade just knows he can get away with it and really just doesn't ****ing care.

Watch for plenty of moments in the playoff where hes running around full tilt dunking and blocking, then wincing like someone shot him in the leg after he misses a jumper.

Hes just a piece of shit.

Who cares at this point? The team is broken. We don't have a shot at the title, that's for sure.

George was playing like shit, none of his passes were on point, and Hibbert looked scared out there. Somethings happened that no one knows about yet. Like George slept with Hibberts girlfriend. Or West and Vogel are gay for each other or something. Because if the answer is just Roy being so mentally fragile that picking up Bynum hurt his feelings so bad that he can't play anymore, and that George can't get his head straight after losing Granger and sending dick picks and getting caught for some stripper strange, then I ****ing hate this team.

It's like the universe decided to run up behind R-Star, pants him, and then smack him with a pie in the face. Andrew Bynum? Paul George illegitimate stripper babies and dick pics? The Pacers finally relevant again only to fracture in the time it takes to cook ramen? You couldn't script this it's so unbelievable.

After what could be a historic collapse in the playoffs, do you guys think its time to try for a new point guard? A pass first guard to set up our guys, since they've proven they can't create their own shots consistently?

I used to think the idea was ridiculous because of how we play, but I think its time to try to move for a guy like Rondo. I've been defending George Hill for a long time now, but I've lost patience with it. He does pretty much nothing for our team.

Maybe a sign and traded Lance and George Hill for Rondo? See if we can get Turner to resign for a decent price to replace Lance and we're good to go.

At this point it will almost be just as frustrating if the Pacers of old show up and win the game.

At that point I'd feel like a woman with an abusive boyfriend. He's just beat me for weeks, but then takes me out for a nice candlelight dinner to remind me why I love him.

Hibbert is really sulking out there today. If hes having an off game that's one thing. If hes having an off game and making faces and rolling his eyes and shit, then I'm done defending the guy.

Suck it up you 7 foot pansy. ****. This guys head is just not right at this point.

Even if we slugged this one out and got a close loss, I'd be happy with how we played as a whole. Roy can't hit jack shit on offense but looks good on D still (outside of not being able to rebound). George doesn't look like a superstar but he can still hit some big shots.

We look like we're moving in the right direction. Here's hoping this isn't just a prelude to us somehow losing to Orlando.

Outside of that Miami series we've never relied on Roy for offense though. I think we need to quit trying to force him the ball and just wait for it to come on its own.

It looks like the first half of last season where Roy looks like hes doing everything right and the ball just bounces around the rim and out. Got to be frustrating for him.

Looking like it. I think it helps the team to get the ball out of Lances hands at times. With CJ out Lance was defacto point guard for the second unit.

Nice all around game by Turner today too. I was wrong when I said he'd come in and chuck his way to a contract. He looked really nice tonight.

Kyle Lowry has finally put it all together and is now one of the best point guards in the game. Derozan is one of the best scorers in the league. Ross is crazy athletic, good shooter and a solid wing defender. Amir Johnson does all the little things. Jonas Valunciunas is the best young center in the game not named Anthony Davis. And finally, all the guys from the Rudy Gay trade have given them a solid bench.

Raptors are definitely underrated and won't be an easy series but I think their lack of experience could hurt them. As thrilled as I am to see them make the playoffs, it will be hard to enjoy it if they play against Indy.

That's what Vogel must be thinking. Roy needs to build a little momentum. He should use this Elton Brand/Pero Antic/Mike Muscala warm up to get a little rhythm going into what might be a tough second round match-up vs. either Garnett/Plumlee, Noah/Gibson, or Amir/JVal.
