I agree but the man is clutch. He's young and should learn but I have no idea why he attempts 6 plus threes per night.....makes no sense

You do know that Lillard (DOB 7/15/1990) is only half a year younger than Bledsoe (DOB 12/9/1989), right?

You forgot about Thomas, who will be a favorite for sixth man of the year.

Between him green and the twin that's a ridiculous trio to have off the bench.
Also, TJ Warren will be the steal of this draft, mark my words. 25ppg in the ACC as a sophomore is no joke. He showed us a glimpse of how good he will be in the summer league too.

Goodness....I did forget about Thomas.

I absolutely love that kid.

Teams are sleeping on him.

This is not a Spud Webb/Earl Boykins type of situation.

He is not just a novelty.

Those guys could play and Boykins could flat out score.

But, Thomas is better and much more well rounded.

The Suns games are gonna look like a track meet.

Outside of the Warriors, I don't see any team with the speed to match those backcourt players.

I'm not sold on anyone in the frontcourt outside of the Morris bros.

Tuckers fine. But, I think he will lose his spot to Warren.

I would roll with Plumlee at the 5...he's high energy.

And let's stop assuming every rookie will be good before seeing them play 1 game in the league. Summer league means nothing. It is full of other rookies and guys trying to get a camp invite. 1st round picks should look good in summer league

I agree...

But, did you see Rodney Hood?

I think teams will regret letting him slide in a few years.

The Jazz had a really good draft.

So I may have said that once or twice a long time ago and you label me a stalker? Whatever dude. Maybe try and not divulge so much of your personal life on a message board.

OK. 2010 was a long time ago, buddy. It was a brotherly atmosphere on CBS back then and the twitter generation was not as prevalent. You and and literally never argue basketball, so yes, you are in fact a stalker.

Are you equal in your fandom of the Pacers and Nuggets?

Or, do you prefer one over the other?

I'm a Clipper fan.

But, I watch quite a bit of Suns and Knicks games too.

What will the Pacers do?

Do you thing they will start selling off parts to the highest bidder at the deadline or wait for Paul to return?

I'd get rid of Hibbert.

I like the Nugs.

Gonna be interesting to see how they perform with a healthy McGee and with Afflao back in the fold.

The West is tough.

It's gonna be a dog fight for the 8th seed between the Nugs, Pelicans and Suns.

Pacers fan first and foremost. Began rooting for the Nuggets because of my hatred for Carmelo Anthony and how he threw George Karl under the bus during his final half-season there. In recent years though, the team further grew on me, especially after they hired the Pacers' top assistant in Brian Shaw. Hopefully the Nuggets can get back to the Playoffs but they have to somehow avoid the avalanche of injuries they experienced last year.

The Pacers, can not, and should not trade Hibbert. He's coming off a bad season and that contract holds no trade value right now.

Yeah...But, it's the last year of his deal.

If they can get a team that feels like they are 1 big man away to give them an asset, I'd send him packing.

He's a 7 foot basketcase and not worth what he's getting paid.

Robin Lopez > Roy " soft helmet " Hibbert.

Sounds like someone bought into the hype that the bandwagon Miami fans were trying to sell last year. Hibbert has a tricky player option for 2015-16 which further complicates things, and this year he gets what he wants as the focal point of this team with George being out and Stephenson signing with Charlotte. He has bad hands, which is why he'll never be a great rebounder for a 7-footer, but there's no reason to think he can't average 16 and 9 this year on this gutted roster.

If that's what it sounds like, you are not hearing me correctly.

I couldn't care less about the Heat, nor their bandwagon.

I only judge by what I see.

And, that is a mentally fragile, 7 foot pile of cow dung.

Sorry.

But, Hibbert will only excel as a sidekick, and only if he's on his meds, is not threatened by the presence of another big * Bynum* and is seeing his Psychiatrist regularly.

He is a mental midget.

I don't even Hibbert excelling as a sidekick. He is better suited to be the 3rd option on a slow tempo team. The guy just isn't that good.

Hibbert isn't a no. 1, 2 or 3 option. He would be good on a team that has 3 players better than him so he can just focus on defense and "rebounding". One of the most overrated players in the NBA no doubt.

Remember when Indy fans were trying to push the Dragic for Hibbert rumors not too long ago?

Who the hell is overrating him at this point? All I've pointed out is that he's got a big opporutnity this season with all the offseason losses.

I stand correct. You have bought in too all the propaganda generated by the Miami-centric media. This season, I'm going to seriously be questioning where all the obnoxious Pacers haters from last season have gone.
