    they,like us are in their 40th season and their fans got to vote for the all pacer team,a 12 man roster,i think the rockets should do the same.what do yall think and who would you put in?


    my team would be:

    centers= hakeem,moses,yao
    guards= murphy,smith,cassell,tmac,drexler
    forwards=rudy,Elvin hayes,barkley,thorpe

    Out of curiosity, what did the Pacer team wind up being? Just want to see how we stack up.

    That list looks good except I would replace Kenny Smith with Steve Francis. You compare their numbers as Rockets and it's not even close.

    I feel sorry for the Pacers b/c they have O'Neal up so high. His first season in Portland, he should so much potential, but he has yet to live up to it.

    Centers: Hakeem, Moses, Yao (what a trio!)
    Guards: Murphy, McGrady, Drexler, Newlin, Francis
    Forwards: Elvin, Rudy, Thorpe, Robert Reid

    Look how hard it was to find a true PG.

    I bumped Barkley because he was barely a Rocket and he was over-the-hill.

    I always loved Mike Newlin's game: rugged defense, good shooter, great FT shooter.

    I always loved Robert Reid's all-around game.

    The fact that you almost have to leave Ralph, Cassell, and Reid off the list is a tribute to how great our franchise has been. We wreck the Pacers...

    the list doesn't really look impressive, then again, most of them were probably back in the ABA days. I think they shafted Mark Jackson, he was vital during their Finals run and their countless Eastern Conference Finals appearances.

    Damn, I feel sorry for Pacer's fans. If you put our all-time team against anyone outside of Boston & LA's it's a joke. Bulls fans, just eat it.

    Barkley was decent when he played for us, but he wouldn't be on my list.
