Too small a sample size remember.



Without Russ 2nd round tops, with Russ legit contenders.

During KD stretch of 25+ 24-17...Russ needs to Russ for this team to win big.

40 is the standard for significance. 35 games is pretty damn close. If you're not convinced by this result, then there is no use in arguing hoops with you.

You really need to take a class on sarcasm, or remove the stick out of your *** which ever is faster.

Ftr I'm not convinced they are just as good without Russ, and anyone that is, is an idiot. They are not a contender without Russ, period.

This was never the argument. I argued that he's a pretty good player and he only makes them a little bit better.

Apparently I have a stick up my ass but you're the one getting mad, telling people they have sticks up their ass, then making a straw man argument and calling the opposition idiots. Take a chill pill. It's OK to be wrong from time to time.

If you really think he only makes them a little better, then you fit what I said. With Russ contenders, without they are not.

Always disappointing to lose to the Heat, but decent job by Indy to at least keep battling and make the final score respectable. They could have easily just rolled over and really gotten humiliated when they were down 20+ midway through the 3rd.

Hibbert had an indefensively bad game tonight. I don't get worked up over the rebounding numbers like some people do, because I watch the team play every night and know that's just not really Hibbert's role. The other guys eat up the rebounds and Hibbert really just focuses on getting himself back to the court to play defense. However, he abused Miami in the first half of the last game on the inside, and with nobody even close to his height on their roster, he's got to show up more on the offensive end.

I have to disagree. The Heat are a bad rebounding team and they were +9 on the boards last night. The Pacers most certainly need their center to rebound. Every team does.

Hawks last week were +5. Raptors were +3. Spurs were +6. Cavaliers were +4. Bulls were +4. Grizz were +12. Knicks were +5. All losses in the last month. This was a great rebounding team when they were streaking earlier this year. Hibbert averaged 9 rpg the first 2 months of the season.

I wasn't saying they don't NEED him to rebound, just that they don't use him that way. I've watched nearly every Pacers game this season, and that's just what he does. On missed shots, he typically heads back up court rather than camping out under the rim trying to rebound. I don't know if Hibbert does that on his own or is being coaches to do that.

I just think there's something wrong with him physically. He looks pathetically slow out there.

'12 - 3.3 orpg
'13 - 3.7 orpg

Oct - 4.0 orpg
Nov - 3.4 orpg
Dec - 2.6 orpg
Jan - 2.8 orpg
Feb - 2.4 orpg
Mar - 1.9 orpg
Apr - 0.5 orpg

I think they are a much better team when he's hitting the offensive glass.

You don't need your center to rebound to win, trust me I've watched Perk do jack **** for a few years now and OKC wins consistently. Actually now that i think about it, their centers didn't rebound in Seattle.

I agree with Huff about the Pacers being at their best when Hibbert is strong on the offensive glass, but they seem to do fine with West, George and Stephenson mopping up on the defensive end while Hibbert gets back to get set on the other end.
