    After trading away the locker room leader in Granger and adding Bynum...who could've seen this happen??!! Pacers front office really messed their chances at this year's title up.

    Wasn't he getting a haircut during halftime?p

    I seriously hope no damn team be stupid to pick him up again. I seriously wanna see him fade away. Just no need for him to be in the NBA with such a attitude of the game.

    Btw, This isn't the King of the Hill you are familiar with. It was a special they did on George Hill.

    Doesn't really matter either way.

    When you are one of the self-styled "leaders" of a team that has title aspirations, you pay attention to what's being said in the huddle during timeouts.

    If I was coach, it would be just a quick talking to him about it, I dont know if I would bench the guy just for that.

    Agreed, but we do not know if he had a habit of zoning out during huddles. Sometimes a bigger message needs to be made.

    If this was the first time, it seemed a bit of a overreaction.

    This. I told one of my coworkers that I thought getting rid of Granger would probably hurt them. I must say I didn't see this disaster coming.

    He was wondering what the meaning of life was:

    I know it didn't exactly take a clairvoyant, but I called thus.

    Not surprised. I've had some reservations about Hibbert's focus and toughness during his entire NBA career. Bynum's presence probably exacerbated the issue.
