    What a terrible post. Even Pacers fans have had enough of Hill and would gladly swap Beverley or Lin for him.

    Gil, I've always though you were a LOH.

    cw3k, this is the first time I can honestly say we agree on something....

    People keep trying to make a bev vs lin thing and it's not... If everyone played team ball the players they have could do a lot of damage...

    At this time Hardin is Steve Francis version 2.0.

    May be not Hill but we need someone like Rondo

    And yes I did watch the back court. It was miserable defensively.

    You seem like a LOF but let me tell you. Lin is good offensively although TO prone, poor defensively and overall an average to below average PG. Very weak mentally and it seems like a bit injury prone

    You put Bev on the pacers and that team would be scary... The way they play and the way bev plays... That would be scary, they would give miami fits..

    Hard for a PG to be successful in this system. There's a reason Lowry and Dragic couldn't wait to leave.

    Nawh my post makes sense, I understand what your saying he needs to play team ball all that, but guess what he hasn't since okc he was a 6th man that thinks about scoring first. If he lacks another playmaker with him this season why would we all of a sudden start to play MORE team ball now.

    This team sure could use Deron Williams and George Karl.

    Well this is on the coach period.. Mchale is getting paid to make the necessary changes.....

    Jordan was the same way earlier in his career and it took Phil change him and make understand how important it was to paly team ball and work harder on the defensive end... Jordan sucked at D when he first came into the league and would not pass the ball for crap..

    Play07 said "efficient". The mid-season reports last year did say that Harden was more efficient with Lin on the court. However, Harden did have a lower usage rate and therefore less points as well.

    We all figured last year that having Harden run all the plays was a good idea. Now, it seems like he's doing too much. There needs to be a 2nd play maker on the court next to Harden.

    nice forecast, but i think beverley is just okay. He is not not even a level of george hill. PBEV still has this year to prove to us otherwise that he's the man for the job. Othewise, it's time to either play Lin, which mcHale won't do, or get a star PG for this star -studded team.

    Asik was one of the best in the business at setting picks, another thing that can be causing harden to be less efficient compared to last year, asik would set that hard pick and harden would explode it was just too much to stop it was money

    Actually, you really only need it against the very best defenses.

    Against most defenses Harden by himself is sufficient. Against truly Elite defenses it's going to be tough even when Harden is on. And if he's off it can get ugly fast.

    George Hill? He's not much better than Beverly right now and he's on a $8 million contract until 2017.

    Hill is a better shooter and playmaker than Beverley. His defense is also pretty good, and he has length on his side so he can cover SGs as well, which Beverley can't. George Hill is pretty underrated. He would be the perfect fit next to Harden on this team.
