Are the Pacers overrated?

  1. Yeah, they're good, but not a lock for going to the Finals

  2. No, they're just in a slump right now. Still the best team in the East

    Who were in those draft classes? Last year's draft class was one of the worst in history. Nobody cared for Bennett even if he was a #1 pick. Low expectations and thus nobody is making a big deal.

    He was Jordan's pick thats why there was so much hype. Funny thing is that Kwame wasn't that bad of a player, Jordan destroyed the dude early otherwise I think he would have been a better player.

    55-23 halftime

    20% vs. 56% FG%

    Top 3 center Hibbert 0-5 with goose eggs across the board

    Serious question: Are the Pacers tanking?

    He showed the team how to show up and work and sacrifice. I think them trading Dany granger is why hurt their chances. Granger might not be the player he used to be. But I am sure the team saw him as a big brother type guy that kept everyone together

    I was never too high on the Pacers, but even I'm struggling to explain what they're doing.

    Paul George being hoe thirsty and Lance thinking he's the next Wade is killing the team.

    Hard to believe Lance Stephenson was being thought of as an All Star with the way he's played lately.

    i think the move to bring in turner is bothering him since obviously they got him to be lances replacement should he go in the offseason. their chemistry is screwed but i think its beyond basketball. something happened in the locker room to screw them up this badly. its the only thing that makes sense.

    Apparently Lance and George Hill have been going at it and things got physical after the Indy/SAS game. Plus Hibbert has been publicly complaining about guys being selfish / not giving him touches. I definitely think they have personnel issues that aren't being addressed in the right way.

    Bird should step in for Vogel and set these undisciplined idiots straight.

    Hibbert sucks balls. Miami makes him 10x the player he really is.
