How bad will Indiana's offense be?

Cavs, Meeechgan in seven!!!

The Pacers outside of West are garbage.

Sorry.

George Hill is a backup....he has regressed over the last 2 seasons.

Scola was one of my favorite players.

I love blue collar guys.

But, how much does he have left?

Stuckey might put up hollow numbers and West will be steady.

Where else does the offense come from?

Hibbert is a basket case and a 5th option.

West clearly wants off that sinking ship.

Let the die-hard Pacers fans speak for their own team, buddy.

Regardless of how you feel about Hibbert, we don't approach the conference finals the last two years. DEFENSE.

Stuckey will be good, so will C.J. Miles. George Hill will be better. Again, I wish we could have gotten another PG so we could play smaller more often, but it just didn't happen.

Scola is hardly a blue-collar guy anymore. You're obviously thinking of his Houston days. As he's aged, he's become a slow guy with a lukewarm offensive skill set and can't jump.

Can a "die-hard fan" root for two nba teams?

I've said it before and I'll say it again - This season for us is more about opportunity than it is about wins and losses.

Yea, I don't see the Pacers even being in the top 15 of scoring teams. Also, bye bye Frank.

This is a Sports website, Buddy.

I am allowed to speak on any topic.

The fact that you can't see past your homerism is your problem.

The Pacers will be gawd awful until George returns..and maybe after.

What homerism? Did I say anything about the Pacers being good this year or even make the Playoffs? I did not.

However, it's more than obvious I can give a more accurate run-down of our players. Because, after all, I follow the team even in instances when they're not in competition with LeBron James and the fairweather paradise that is Miami.

Without George and Stephenson, this is a "pick up the pieces" year. Even if we lose 50+ games with certain players having career years with inflated stats, I think most of our fans would be OK with that. We could use that high draft pick.

You watch them religiously. So, I am sure you are better versed on the nuances of the team.

But, that doesn't mean that you can give an unbiased review.

Take Hibbert for example.

He is awful. But, you can't see past your love for the team to acknowledge that.

I get it....most fans have the same issue, including me.

We are all just being armchair analysts at this point.

Time will tell who's right and who's wrong.

Good luck this season.

Despite some of the harsh things I have said, I have no ill will towards the Pacers.

It would be a great story if they were able to rise above the adversity.

I feel sorry for David West.

Solid citizen, solid player.

I hope he gets traded.

George Hill has been garbage.

Maybe he's depressed about leaving the Spurs.

They lose Lance, lose George and don't pick up any quality free agents.

Gonna be a tough year.

But, I hope Chris Copeland gets some burn. I think he could be a good rotation player is he gets consistent playing time.

David lee for David west

David lee for David west

That would be an awesome deal for the Warriors.

This is a lost Season for Indiana.

So, Lee won't hurt them considering he's in the last year of his deal.

David is a scrappy player and I like him.

But, his health is a problem and he can't stretch the floor like West.
