Ugh Paul George

[jiggy_55]

I have Indy at 8th post PG injury.

Chicago
Cleveland
Washington
Toronto
Miami
Charlotte
Atlanta
Indy


Nets
Knicks

Fair enough, but personally I just don't see Indiana in the mix at all, I think they're really going to be terrible next year. If their defense can hold teams to 92 again (and it more than likely won't without PG and Lance creating some havoc - and their replacements, Miles and Stuckey, not being known for defense), that still won't help with that really weak offense. They are going to struggle historically trying to put up points. If the team with Paul, Lance and Turner could only average 96.7 last season, they are likely to find it impossible to put up 90-92 points per game next season.

As for the Nets, I think they're still a playoff team because they have Brook Lopez coming back. The loss of Pierce will hurt a bit, but they were playing excellent ball at the end of last season.

It's right above the edit window. You have to check the box and click the button. If it's within five minutes, the post will disappear. Otherwise, it will just delete the text.

Thanks but just checked on one of my new posts and still do not see anything. There is nothing above the edit window except the "reason for editing note". I see no box to check above either. There are only boxes below with check options below, "automatically parse links in text" and "disable smilies"

2. Cleveland - needs no explanation, plus Kevin Love is almost surely joining

It seems like a done deal based on jerseys (the Cavs one for Wiggins have been discontinued). I think the Wolves GM said the deal would happen at the first opportunity, apparently Aug 23.

Above "Reason for editing" there's a whole box (comparable to the Edit box) called "Delete Post" with a checkbox.

No Pierce or Livingston. They were big components in their turnaround. AK47 is replacing Pierce at SF but has missed 24, 2, 18 & 37 games over the past 4 seasons.

Teletoiv Plumlee, Bogdanovic, Anderson, Jack is their bench. Thats a pretty unproven bunch besides Jack. Plus there is no telling how Lopez, Garnett and Williams will hold up (Williams has missed 17, 27, 4 and 18 games in the past 4 season)

The Pacers offense is likely to stink and the more I think about it, the more I think the Knicks will make the playoffs instead

They have the most talent and aren't as old and breaking down as much (save for Amare).

Calderon, Shumpert, Melo, S.T.A.T (who was effective in limited minutes) and Dalembert with Smith and young scorers like Early and Hardaway Jr. off the bench.

If were the Pacers i would shop Hibbert for young talent and picks and play out the season. Teams that struggle to score, struggle to win in the NBA. Try and bottom out this year and hope for the best with PG and a high lottery pick.

This option does not exist for me. There is nothing above reason for editing, other than the normal website links etc. Thanks though

Not a bad idea, unless Hibbert proves to be improved when more of a focal point on offense, as he has apparently worked out with Kareem Abdul Jabbar this summer. I would give him a shot and see if he can be more of a leader now that he's probably the one with the most potential on the team. But keeping the team, and tanking to get a good pick for the next season makes most sense to me.

BNSF benefit?

Anybody doing fantasy leagues better pick up George Hill.. With Paul George injured and Lance Stephenson gone, George will be the best perimeter player and the primary ball handler on the team. He's going to have a big year..

Or he's going to lead the league in turnovers. One of the two is bound to happen.

Some Pacers fans think they should trade West to OKC for Perkins, Jackson and a first. I think the Thunder would balk at giving up too assets to take on that salary.

[Obstructed_View]

David West isn't as old as he seems, but Pacerfan is on crack thinking West is good enough to have trade value. He only emerged as a leader because the rest of the team was shitting the bed in a historic way.

[Obstructed_View]

And team USA cuts Beal and Wall. Sell more jerseys, fellas!

BNSF benefit?

I believe that is the case. At least I have a vague memory of that being a major difference between BNSF and GNSF.

And here I thought all we got was our lofty sense our superiority.

They mentioned the Spurs as well. From the Cavs, they wanted Waiters and Bennett for him. And some didn't think that was enough.

Pray that paul recovers. Nothing bad to say about him

[sammy]

i wish we could break the bones of the reptilian illuminati, that would be fun

we start with obama, the clerk of the illuminati elite

then with the satanic vatican, and then break the bones of the evil jesuits


.......i wish it were them with broken bones, and not a fantastic NBA player

goodness

GTFO Dumbass! WTF does our government have to do with Paul George injury! Idiotic moron!

[smeagol]

Who cares? The liberal shitdumps of Europe can feel free to beat up on our scrubs as long as our stars stay healthy for games that actually matter....

And then you wonder why people thinks you guys are dicks . . .

Oh, I thought he was calling Clippers fans dicks. I was nodding in agreement when I read it.

It was a freak injury that could have been avoided if they placed the basket support farther from the baseline.
