Congrats to Steve Nash for passing Mark Jackson, and becomes the #3 all-time assists leader.

Congrats as well to Dirk, now the #10 all-time scorer in league history.

Instead of saying "LOL @ Pacers", it would have been too easy and pointless; I am actually interested to know what is going on with Roy Hibbert? I recall someone here kind of mentioned it last year that, the Pacers could go as far as Hibbert keeps playing like an All-star; and he did last year. This season? Not at all thus far, so what is wrong with him? At times this season he looks lost on the court, or simply not even being a part of the offense. Like tonight, he was a complete NON-factor @ Heat. Seriously, if Hibbert can't fire himself up for the playoffs, the Pacers won't go far, period!

Hibbert with 5 points and 1 rebound against Miami

If Andrea Bargnani didn't exist Hibbert would be the worst center in the NBA.

ReaPsTA · « **Reply #670 on:** April 11, 2014, 11:08:06 PM »

I thought the Pacers were the best roster in the league and would at least win the east. Especially after the Turner trade.

I don't know if I've ever been more wrong about anything.

I fell asleep way too early and missed the game. MFW I wake up

Nekov · « **Reply #672 on:** April 12, 2014, 06:57:21 AM »

In the previous game against Miami Hibbert was one of the deciding factors because the defense couldn't figure out how to stop him. Last night he got double teamed every time he had the ball which is all merit for miami but you also need to take into account that over the last couple of weeks he has been complaining that he's not getting the ball enough so I think there are some issues in the locker room right now which are causing this slump.
If things continue to be like this Indiana won't make it to the conference finals.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #673 on:** April 12, 2014, 11:07:44 AM »

I won't be surprised if they get eliminated in the first round. They wouldn't get swept obviously.

Then again, they may turn things around and explode post-season. Fuck the Pacers.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #674 on:** April 12, 2014, 11:10:21 AM »

I'm not buying into the Pacers. I know the East is super weak, but I just don't think Indiana is THAT good. I think they were great earlier this season, but something tells me they're going to lose early. The Bulls, I think are playing well and it would not surprise me if they won the East.

antigoon · « **Reply #675 on:** April 12, 2014, 02:54:33 PM »

What in the world happened to Hibbert?

KevShmev · « **Reply #676 on:** April 12, 2014, 02:58:28 PM »

I never bought the Pacers as the team to beat in the East. Sure, they had a great start to the season, but it's almost like they were so dead set on getting the 1 seed so they wouldn't have to go to Miami for a possible Game 7 again that they were clueless as to how to pace themselves over the course of the entire season, and now they looked burned out and gassed. It's like they forgot that it's a marathon, not a sprint.

antigoon · « **Reply #677 on:** April 12, 2014, 03:00:42 PM »

Don't you think it's a bit more than they might be tired, though? Things are breaking down at every level. It's just so weird.

Knick's players are just as delusional as their fans

Nekov · « **Reply #681 on:** April 14, 2014, 11:35:08 AM »

It's a bit far fetched but looking strictly at their roster you would think they'd be competing for the top sport in the east. You have 2 top notch scores in Carmelo and JR smith, you have 2 great defensive players in Shumpert and Chandler, Amare can provide both rebounds and scoring, Felton is a very good shooter. Hardaway has proven to be a good scorer coming from the bench, Prigioni provides a more well thought offence as well as more defense than Felton, K mart is old but still a good presence in the paint so strictly on paper they are a fantastic team.
Their problem lies in their system and how they are not able to put all that individual talent in favor of the team which if you ask me is more an issue with Mike Woodson being a lousy coach than the players themselves.

IF ONLY BARGNANI WAS HEALTHY THE KNICKS WOULD WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Steph Curry is 19 threes away from breaking his own record for most 3pm in a season. It's unlikely since they only have 2 games left, but if anyone could basically make 10 3's in back to back games it's Curry. I would love to seem him just go Kobe or Melo mode and chuck for it.

Nekov · « **Reply #685 on:** April 14, 2014, 04:46:33 PM »

They haven't secured the 6th spot yet so I don't think Curry will try to break a record risking having to play OKC or the Spurs in the first round, that would be pretty stupid

Accelerando · « **Reply #686 on:** April 14, 2014, 04:56:27 PM »

I have to say as a Spurs fan, The Warriors match up pretty well against us. I'm more worried about them than I am the Clippers or Rockets .

Unless the Heat of a '98 Bulls type performance in them, the western conference champion is winning the finals. Heat of regressed. Spurs, Thunder, and Clippers have all gotten better.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #691 on:** April 15, 2014, 04:30:21 AM »

Heat just need rest. I'm not denying the powerhouses in the west, but come playoff time Miami should be firing on all cylinders. Should be.

Nekov · « **Reply #692 on:** April 15, 2014, 04:35:22 AM »

Don't write off the Bulls yet. They've been playing some mayor basketball lately. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the ECF and even win there.

Syzzle · « **Reply #694 on:** April 15, 2014, 08:40:07 AM »

Curry with 7 3PM in last nights game now he just needs to tie the NBA record for most 3PM in a game to break his regular season record. They probably won't play him the final game of the season though would have been cool to see if he could do it if given the green light to just chuck a bunch of 3's.

Now if we can just get a new owner and a new arena.

Needs to be done sir. I just wished they got in the top 3 for the balls. Best I think is a tied 4th.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #698 on:** April 15, 2014, 11:07:45 AM »

I'm a Hawks fan but I really enjoy the Western conference, and I'd love to see Portland make a run, but they just don't have much depth.

This season though has been really embarrassing:

- Rondo wasn't the guy he needed to be this season (for reasons unrelated to birthdaygate)
- I like Stevens, but he's shown some real flaws. The offensive sets are not good. And while I like that his coaching is basically applied Roman Stoicism, I'm not totally sure it's the right approach with NBA players. In general too, the team's just been sloppy.
- Sullinger and Green hurt my brain.

The only bright spot is Olynyk, who's really coming on.
