[batman2883]

How the hell did this not make it into any thread.....the Bobcats killed the Pacers last night 122-90. This is fucking hilarious, ha ha ha ha ah a ha ha ha ha, and these guys are suppose to be the competition in the East???

[Summers]

I've said it before but Okafor, with the addition of Sean May... the Bobcats are going to be good this year.

[batman2883]

I love Okafur.... :makeout... UCONN!!!!!

[batman2883]

I hate Jermaine O'neal and i hate Ron Artest, im so glad those bastards got spanked like nobodies business

[ducks]

did not the spurs lose to the wizzards by 15?
pacers could have taken this game for granted and got spanked
it could serve as a big wakeup call

[batman2883]

the wizards are a playoff team and a good one at that.....the bobcats are a sophomore franchise...huge difference

[ducks]

ok win the spurs won the title
they lost to the bulls and the bulls that year did not make the playoffs

[batman2883]

This past year??? The Bulls did make the playoffs and lost to the Wizards

[ducks]

This past year??? The Bulls did make the playoffs and lost to the Wizards
a no

[batman2883]

Yeah the Bulls made the playoffs buddy, thats when Tyson Chandler become very known because his performance in the playoffs....

[T Park]

The Spurs did not lose to the Bulls last year.

And the Bulls did go to the playoffs and faced the Wizards and lost in 6 games.

[ducks]

did I say the spurs lost to the bulls last year?

[50 cent]

I watched some of that game. Greatness.

May and Felton were ballin' out of control.

[batman2883]

Damn it ducks!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

so much for the pacers about hypin themselves to be contenders, more like pretenders to me

[boutons]

Sean May was big, fat fun surprise for me, first time to see him.
I look forward to watching him lose weight and win games in the future.

Bobcats were really rolling last night. Bernie's doing a great job.
Bobcats may not win a lot, but they don't embarrass themselves (like the Knicks do).

[batman2883]

Kareem Rush had like 35 points thats unbelievable...whats up with Ron Artest, does he not know how to guard anyone?

[Oh, Gee!!]

As i said earlier to to you mockery there gee, the spurs got beat by a Playoff team, and the Spurs are still trying to click as a new squad, with new faces, and were playing with a hurt Manu, the Pacers are the same damn team they have always been, and played against a non playoff team sophomore franchise...there is no comparison in the loss

[MiNuS]

The East is OVERRATED!

[Oh, Gee!!]

yeah, the wiz are a mainstay of the playoffs. :rolleyes

[batman2883]

The wizards are still a much better team than the bobcats, with more recognition as well

[Oh, Gee!!]

Alls I'm saying is, the season is too long to get excited by one blowout. Pacers are definitely a top 3 team in the East. They'll be right there contending for a chance to get beaten by the Spurs in the Finals.

[The Artest Factor]

Fluke game, Foster was out, TInsley limited etc., Pacers still havnt played together much, remember Jackson, O'Neal, and Artest didnmt play a single game together before this year, Im not worried about it.

[Marklar MM]

It is definitely disheartening to lose to a soph. franchise, that was missing 2 starters and there 6th or 7th of the bench, J. Jones.

[Mr. Peabody]

No way the Pacers make the playoffs now!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Y'all, this is that same stupid logic that we hear from mouse. He tried to argue that because the Mavs beat us by 30 points, we are not going to make the playoffs. Exhibit b is our loss to the Wizards.

Of course, we could attempt to argue that the Mavs are better than the Bobcats, so our loss is not as significant. We could further argue that the Pacers history while good is not as good as ours.

We didn't exactly slaughter the Bobcats ourselves. They are a better team than people realize. Therefore, teams like the Pacers and SA can underestimate them.

I expect Indiana to be one of the top two teams coming out of the East.

Indiana lost to Boston by a ton of points last year in the playoffs. However, they won the series. The same thing happened with them against the Pistons and they almost beat the Pistons last year, despite their injuries.

This team put up an impressive record last year, despite the 25 game suspensions of Jermaine and Stephen Jackson, the year long suspension of Artest and the injury of Jermaine. Also, Tinsley was injured last year.

This is that same team, only at full strength with their back up players having gained more experience.

Indiana is a solid defensive team. They have been consistently over the last couple of years and not enough games have been played to justify concluding that their defense this year is significantly worse than last year.
Artest is clearly one of the top three or four defensive players in the league.

Indiana also can score on the block through Jermaine O Neal, the ambidextrous one.

This same team put up the best record in the league the year before last.

While, in my view, Pistons, Pacers, Heat, Washington is the way I would rank the teams in the East, the Pacers are a really good team.

One or even several really bad losses early on in the season are the exceptions to the rule which over the long season will prevail.

These are all points that the Artest Factor could make and I would agree with.

I don't like the Artest Factor, I'm not crazy about the team, but I can't alter the truth.
