    Lance wasnt suppose to be a superstar,yet he is the only stepping up this game and the only one really fighting. Not many people can handle the 'bear' so why be surprised when LeBron goes off on the opposition. lool.

    the pacers need to upgrade BADLY at the pg spot because they have none. They need to ship hibbert and get a quality starting center and another piece of their bench that can score. he is overrated and can't believe his salary is that high. need to resign stephenson, thats first on their list.

    Not surprised at all. James is one of the best ever. Only thing that can stop James is James.

    Stephenson's antics have been a distraction for his own team. He isn't affecting the Heat. But the Pacers, for many reasons, are out of sync and he isn't helping.

    Isn't Stephenson a player reputed to put self before team?

    Only that Bynum hasn't technically been in the NBA for 3 years. I had to youtube the Barrea foul mentioned above. That foul was cheap, not old school.

    Old school is the Knicks and Bulls and Charles Oakley not letting you get to the rim. Barea was defenseless there and Bynum simply elbowed him.

    Based on his post LA career (there is none) I wouldn't dare say that Bynum has any heart or was a hard nosed player.

    Indiana has sucked since the all-star break, unless you think that was because of Lance Stephenson.

    Not shocking the team began to suck as Roy Hibbert began to suck.

    Wasn't word that both Stephenson and Turner had something to do with that suckage? Weren't teammates concerned Stephenson was playing for himself and for contract after missing the All Star team?

    Stephenson is a knucklehead. Great potential, but a headcase. I would like to see him pull it all together, though.

    Your first sentence I agree with.

    The second not so much,the last couple months the Pacers have been bad, and its not Lance's fault IMO, it's Hibbert and PG's those two were the de-facto leaders and they do nothing to change the way there team has played at hte end of the season and in the playoffs. When your teammates fail you, and you as the only player being some what effective you do other things to either get pressure off your teammates(his antics) or get them fired up(his antics) its a double edged sword, and it seems the Pacers aren't embracing the way Lance has been playing in this series. They seem to be playing like a dying dog waiting for the inevitable.

    Lance was just suppose to be a compliment player, he can dish but only when asked too,honestly the way the team has been its on Vogel, he didnt adjust,he is not letting a player who is putting on points and keep them in the game and get more shots. He has made this Pacer team so one dimensional that when they arent being effective,3 or 4 of there starters are basically useless.

    refs should have just ended this in game 5.

    they could have avoided this.

    "Surround your best players with shooting so they can operate."

    Take note Daryl Morey. That doesn't mean Omri Casspi, Francisco Garcia, Jordan Hamilton, and any other scrub.

    All this talk about a third superstar. I think if those guys listed had been consistent like Casspi and Garcia started out as then faded, we could have been a better team.

    Rumor that Turner and Stephenson got into an altercation, big deal altercations on teams happen all of the time. Jordan slapped Kerr that didn't stop the Bulls from winning.

    Like I said if people blame that or Lance Stephenson being a knucklehead on them losing I don't know what to say. Roy Hibbert the 7'2 all-star has flat out sucked since the all-star break again that isn't on Lance.

    They are stuck with Hibbert with that salary. Watson should start next year at the 1 if they decide to keep him, not sure about his contract situation. Hill clearly isn't 1 as we have seen.

    I called it the moment they signed Bynum...he would lead to the demise of this team...he was a total cancer...and sure enough, the collapse of the Pacers..started soon after...some people have bad omens...
