BJ, where do Butler's minutes come from? I think both Lamb and Sefolosha are much better options than him.

Sefolosha isn't a better player. Butler has a much more advanced offensive game and he is almost as good defensively. He also adds experience and toughness.

When you say Lamb is better I assume you were trying to be funny.

He'll backup KD. The other 2 are primarily SGs. I'm assuming they will go small a little more. Perry Jones minutes are probably about to be gone. I would guess something like this. Subject to change on match ups etc. Hopefully they only use Caron around 15-18 minutes. If it was my choice Adams would get 28-30, and perk would get 8.

PG Russ/28 Jackson/20
SG-Thabo/24 Lamb/18 Russ/6
SF-KD/30 Butler/18
PF-Serge/34 KD/8 Collison/6
C-Perk/20 Adams/17 Collison/11

With Jones and Fish getting random minutes every game.

Butler isn't the player he used to be. Way below average shooting efficiency, below average in assists, and above average in turnovers. He's not really a good defender anymore either. Still a good rebounder.

Hopefully his decline was more from playing in Milwaukee than it was from age.

Lebron.... finds a way to use a facemask as a fashion statement.

Hope Hibbert breaks his head open in the playoffs.



Maybe he can get away with fouling Paul George again...

Lebron should get punched in the face with brass knuckles. I still can't believe people here think I whine too much when he spends half the game whining like a nutsack.

If Paul George shoved Lebron in the air like that, Lebron would be going to the line.

Unlike Lebron... Paul George can actually shoot. Lebron is just better at getting away with offensive fouls and traveling. He should foul out on offensive fouls alone and yet he rarely gets called for 3 fouls a game. Nice. LeOverrated.

For what it's worth... I was telling everyone I'd hate Granger if he sold out and went to the Heat. I would have disliked him a little less if he went to the Bulls or Knicks. I said from the beginning it would be Spurs(cause the Pacers workout with them in the offseason) or Clippers(he's from California and Clippers need a SF).

The reports of hearing him pissed off at the Pacers... I would have thought he was a sell out for going to Miami or a rival team. He hated them more than anyone.

And Paul George, he can opt in 3 years... if he doesn't win a title and does what Lebron did... I'll think he's a huge loser dirtbag too. Coattailing others to a title = weak champion. LeLoser had to make a deal under the table while a team cleared salary in advance to form a super team. They're in the weakest conference of all-time and still sit behind the Pacers. That's how much of a loser Lebron is. They have 3 players making more than 15 Pacers players combined this season lol

He didn't shove him. Was it a foul? Maybe. I've seen it called and I've seen it not called.

You're advocating someone get punched in the face with brass knuckles because the Pacers can't beat his team. Not sure if that is whining or plain mental illness.

James is a better shooter. Try and keep up.

TOP raining the fire and brimstone on a Sunday morning.

Seriously though, I obviously don't like LeBron or Miami either, but the foul in question is not one you're EVER going to get on the road in the final five seconds of a big NBA game. Whether that's right or not is debatable I suppose, but that's the reality. It's not like that was some special exception LeBron gets.

Exactly. The whistle only needs to be blown in that situation if it is egregious. And that certainly wasn't.

If every touch like that started being called as a foul, the games would become unwatchable and some might never end. People don't watch to see guys spend the whole game at the FT line.
