Said they were the most complete team in the East Kind of the way I'm looking at it as well. Toronto/Bucks/us and I still think Celtics by end of year. We've beat them all. See no reason Pacers can't be in the Eastern Conference Finals and win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if Philly tries to deal him. 3 teams. 3 times he's had problems with his role. Butler’s been a cancer for several years now. He’s taken over the No. 1 headcase title, from Rondo. Thunder wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole, they already had their train wreck with Melo and are playing great ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacers really don’t have any weaknesses, and they’re confident and hungry. The Esst is weak after the top 4-5, but the playoffs are going to be great this year.

That's why I was thinking of them. Any organization that would take on Melo might be dumb enough to try again. My biggest issue is these players force where they want to go all the time. I just don't see Butler being with Philly by seasons end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATX_sig Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I am happy that Rose seems to have revived his career and found a new niche. He has become a very good long range shooter and has his explosion back. Hopefully he will have no serious setbacks and his ankle is short term injury.. I am not going to say Rose deserves to win the all star voting but does it really matter. He is having a really nice season that is borderline deserving if not of an All -Star selection. I'm sure the ones who truly deserve to go will get chosen by the coaches if not voted in. By the time the game rolls around several players will drop due to injury. I don't think Wade or VC should go though. Fans who have appreciated their career can show that appreciation in road games. Dirk has been getting an amazing reception in road games. These players wiil all get their lifetime achievement recognition when they are inducted to the HOF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Nuggets are good in the regular season but will crash in the playoffs. Very good but young team. Another year away, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was over-rated coming in, drafted too high, but I don't think it's fair to call him a bust. That shot and his horrendous free throw shooting needs work though.

dwtaylor1055 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 So Myles Turner is very important to the Pacers, especially on the defensive end. His presence is surely missed. Sabonis fills in quite well, however Myles is on another level on the defensive side of the ball compared to Sabonis. Don't get me wrong, I love Sabonis but that just isn't his game. I would love if Sabonis improved defensively during this upcoming offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
