pacers
The Pacers are as bad as I have seen them in years. First of all they do not play as a team and they play NO defense. I believe the starting line up is wrong. They need to make some moves'1 Rush is not a point nor a good shooting guard trade him, Dunlevey trade him while he is worth something to LAC, Granger trade him for someone that can do more that shot 30 times a game cause my kids could move around him for he plays no defense. Last time for a coaching change. Start murphy hilbert hans head and price. those guys play with a passion. bring in mcroberts jones jones ford foster and rotate them in and out eep fresh an run teams to they drop.

Okay…. admire your passion… but that doesn’t mean we need to just trade everyone. You can blame the effort and offensive system on Jim O’Brien. The live and die by the 3’s system is classic O’Brien basketball. Sure it will win us a few games but it also makes us lose a lot more…. I just don’t think Jim O’Brien knows how to do math…. it’s sad I know. Defensively, as much as you like him I feel Murphy is to blame. His lack of athletisism on the defensive end is like poison to Roy Hibbert’s game. When we had that five game winning streak, Troy was out and Danny was a lot more helpful to Roy. At that time we lead the league in blocks (by far) and we were one of the best teams in the league at rebounding. Then Troy came back, Roy had to try and cover his ass, then he got into foul trouble. Once Roy gets into foul trouble he loses his confidence on the offensive end, then gets taken out so we have no low post game so we just jack up 3’s. I don’t know if you move Rush either. Lately he has shot well from the field where he has made close to half of his shots from beyond the arc. I feel this team just needs an identity. Larry Bird and David Morway have thrown in a hodge-podge of players that range differently in age and playing styles. Take any expansion team in the league…. they may have talent sure but they aren’t any good because they don’t know what they’re supposed to be. Add a coach who keeps on doing the wrong things and of course this team is doomed to the lottery. We need a new coach (Byron Scott, Mark Jackson) and an overhaul of our older players if we can. So a young group of players can play and learn together.

If our starting lineup
was HIbbert, Murphy, Hans, Price and Head, we would maybe average 55 points a game.

Plus
You’d be playing 5 on 4 because Hans is never healthy.

Hansbrough also can’t play the 3 spot. He tried guarding Corey Maggette and he burned him.

But Hansbrough was the safe pick. Bird knew exactly what he was getting with Tyler.

Yeah but...
Was Tyler injury-prone at college though? I can’t remember anyone saying that about him. Plus he doesn’t get to the charity stripe as much as he did in college.

He wasn’t…. give him tiiiiiiiiime! You can’t assess any player in a half a season.

The shin injury plagued him during his senior year. So I’d say there should have been some concern about the injury before the draft.

There’s always warning. There’s always concerns. No player is immuned.
