"I'm extremely impressed with them," Carlisle said. "It's so great to see Larry (Bird)'s vision be realized because he knew this was going to take some time. He knew he was going to have to be opportunistic with acquiring veteran players to go with (Danny) Granger and some of the young pieces.

"The David West acquisition was brilliant. It was so typical of Larry. He studied it, there was a health issue there but they've got as great a medical staff there as anybody in the league but they analyzed it and realized there wasn't the risk a lot of teams probably thought there was. The reality is, at this point, they're one of a handful of teams that's a legit contender for a title."

Did someone respectable actually refer to us as...contenders? It's been a while since we've heard that word used with the Pacers.

Just since the Brawl at the Palace. Relative to many other teams, it hasn't really been that long.

According to Jimmy Smith of The Times-Picayune, the Indiana Pacers may actually be the leader to land Kaman and he writes: "A league source said Wednesday night that the Indiana Pacers, one of several other teams reportedly in the mix for Kaman, could, in fact, be the leading candidate for a swap. The Pacers apparently are looking for a backup to Roy Hibbert."

The Pacers currently have $14.27 million in salary cap room and they could absorb Kaman's $14 million cap number without sending a player to the Hornets.

-- Nick Borges

I don't like the idea of Kaman taking Fosters minutes, but he's a bit better than Foster offensively.

Chris Kaman is dramatically better than Foster at every facet of the game. I'm sure they're about equal at rebounding right now since Foster still works his ass off, but we if we can get Kaman for 20 or so minutes a game and have Foster play scrub minutes at C and PF instead of Amundson, that'd be spectacular. Not many teams in the league would have a better big rotation than Hibbert/Kaman/Foster/West/Hansbrough.

PaCeRhOLiC · 02-03-2012, 11:21 AM

Completely agree PF...

We need to get Kaman here ASAP!

**R-Star** · 02-03-2012, 02:13 PM

No more Amundson? I'm all for it then.

**Knick Killer** · 02-04-2012, 11:04 AM

We've beaten the Lakers, Bulls and Mavericks all on the road in the last week or two. Add Chris Kaman to the team and were looking REAL good.

Legit contenders like Miami, Chicago, OKC? No. But lumped in with the other few contenders in the league in my opinion.

**Knick Killer** · 02-07-2012, 05:47 PM

Watching the game against the Jazz right now. Impressed with what I've seen from Gordon Hayward tonight. He's lookin pretty good infront of the hometown crowd. We had a nice 20 point lead in the 3rd but the Jazz got on a run and cut it down to under 10 points. Collison has looked very good and I like what I've seen from Stephenson this game as well.

**Knick Killer** · 02-07-2012, 05:48 PM

Up 7 going into the 4th.

**Knick Killer** · 02-07-2012, 05:59 PM

Now were only up 1 with 8 minutes left in the 4th

**Knick Killer** · 02-07-2012, 06:00 PM

We can't even make a pass down low to Roy Hibbert. He's posting up in perfect position but were standing out on the wing staring right at him making the pass too easy to deflect. Down 1 now argghhh

**Knick Killer** · 02-07-2012, 06:08 PM

Jazz hit a couple nice shots in a row to get a 3 point lead and Big Roy comes back with a HUGE bucket with the foul. Tie game with 3 minutes left

**Knick Killer** · 02-07-2012, 06:08 PM

PAUL GEORGE FOR 3!
