Thought the Pacers would have a better record than they have. Anybody been watching a lot of their games? What's the scouting report on them?

They don't play any sort of defense and their chemistry is pretty whack. Al Jefferson is the PF version of Monte Ellis with zero D and all scoring. They have no rim protectors. I look for Nate McMillan to be gone before too long unless they turn it around. Rumors already swirling around that situation. Pretty sure Larry Bird has dementia with the moves he's made the past few years. I would at least claim that if I were him. Outside of drafting Turner there has been alot of headscratchers. Firing Vogel, signing Ellis, signing the slow Al Jefferson when the team wanted to go uptempo. The Teague/Hill trade was a lateral move IMO. Two different player types but neither made the team significantly better.

The Pacers are searching for an identity and as of right now they aren't getting max effort from alot of guys. Interesting to see what happens with them in the near future.

With that being said I should be at the game tonight. I still have a friend who has tickets in the Paul George fan zone so free ticket by going with her. Only problem is I can't wear Suns swag because of it. My friend is also bat shit crazy so me going with her also depends on the mood she wakes up in today. We've already had 2 arguments in the past few weeks about it. So cross your fingers that she takes her effing pill today.

Go Suns!

I shouldn't laugh at this, and will probably go to hell, but was I the only one that thought this was funny? #ThingsWePutUpWithToSeeOurSunsPlay

It's cause Jeff Teague's been sucking ass. Plus Nate McMillan is doing the same thing he did when he had those stacked Portland rosters (Roy, LMA etc)....underachieve.

Larry Bird screwed the pooch not resigning Vogel.

They don't play any sort of defense.


Which is still better defense than the Suns since the Suns are ranked dead last.

It sounded like it was coming directly from the mouth of Kenny Powers!

Williams before Bender makes sense only because hes guarding big Al. Bender would get thrashed in the post.

Energetic defense coming up with a lot of steals.
