Tore his ACL last night versus Boston and is out for the season. Bender will probably be the big beneficary of his injury, as well as Jalen Rose. Tinsley is really struggling and working his way out of the rotation, injury or not, and once J. O'Neal is fully healthy, the Pacers should be able to make a run. But losing Harrington really, really hurts.
Thats sad. Is Tinsley really struggling that much though? I know he started out the year hot, but havent heard of him much lately.
Yeah, he's struggling alright. Probably a combo of hitting the rookie wall and some crazy injury, but he's getting less time and doing less in what time he does get. He's a liability to the Pacers when he's out on the court nowadays.
Croshere sound right to me also, plus they now need to showcase him so he can be traded away. And he is not worth his contract!!!
Croshere... hehe... look for Bender to get some extended playing time. I hope he does well, too... I picked him up yesterday for my fantasy team.
Apparently Bender got the start tonight and posted some nice numbers in an Indiana win over Charlotte: 31min, 18pt and 7reb. As long as the Pacers continue to win - and assuming Isiah doesn't screw something up - he should continue to start and get the time. But Croshere might do better in time, as well. You fantasy philes out there may want to look more towards bender, though - his upside is definately higher.
