Is it cool to post cuz I'm a fan of a particular player? Danny Granger probably my 2nd favorite player in the league, because his rookie year I got a Granger jersey for 5 bucks the only reason I bought it is because it was 5 bucks and my size, all my friends gave me hell sayin only 3people have Danny Granger jerseys me Danny G and Danny G's mother... haha so I started rootin for the pacers ever since, Pacers fans outnumber T'Wolves 4 and a half to 2. Danny Granger with that deadly mid ranger! lol
Thank God that O'Brien got the can. It was about two years overdue.
With the way the Pacers seem to play against elite teams, we'll see what happens in Miami. May not be as bad as we think.
No kidding. Jim O'brien was a disaster. Pretty sure the players hated him. Seemed like a jerk with the way he yanked starters every other game. Darren Collison and Roy Hibbert were thrown under the bus regularly for not being perfect. It's not like they are 23 and 24 years old or anything. The fact that O'brien hates T.J. Ford and was giving him more minutes at times speaks volumes. He was also giving Solomon Jones some of Roy Hibberts minutes. O'brien was awful.
Why Solomon Jones ever played more than mop-up minutes in a game is beyond me. Also, agreed on O'Brien being a disaster. Dude had absolutely ZERO semblance of a rotation. The fact that Hansborough and George didn't start playing consistently until the week or so before he got canned told me all I needed to know about the way he handles the player rotation.
And yeah, the Pacers have beaten both the Lakers and Heat. Never know what you're going to get. Then again... the Heat's chemistry was lacking and the Pacers are below .500. I'll cross my fingers but I'm not sure that will do any good.
I would add Dallas to that column of quality wins. Dirk or no Dirk, that is impressive.
Here's to hoping :toast:
Absolutely :toast:
See bold.
Agree with basically everything you said.
The only thing I may not fault him for is Hansbrough. Wasn't he out for like 9 months with some sort of inner ear infection? It affected his balance or something and he couldn't even practice. He is doing a heck of a job and probably should have played sooner. The whole situation was definitely out of the ordinary though and it's hard to say when Hansbrough was actually capable of contributing. Then again, O'brien makes a ton of poor decisions. Probably could have played Tyler from the start.
At the very least, McRoberts was given the opportunity to show he can contribute. He may not be a starter but the guy has shown he can bring energy and contribute. Hope they can re-sign him cheap and he can be similar to Jeff Foster with a couple less boards and a few more points. He is at his best getting offensive boards for put backs. It's actually quite impressive at times. Plus, he has some range on his shot. Only 23.
Maybe it will all work out for the better?
I've noticed and have been happy that all of Posey's minutes have been taken away since Vogel took over. Not even sure he has played a single minute. All he does is jack bad 3's.
I know some Posey's minutes have gone to Dahntay Jones and looking at the box score today, with good reason.
20min 18pts 4rebs 1ast 1stl 1to 1foul
Shot 7 of 10 from the field... O'brien never played Dahntay. Actually, he was the leading scorer. O'brien was seriously bad.
