Y’all forgot abbout AJ Price, who they took in the 2nd round of the draft. He played good in summer league and presason. Watch out for him.

Agree with Promoman. The Pacers should have dropped Ford instead of Jack. I don’t know how many times Ford would have the ball in the 4th with not much time left and f*** things up. And I’m still pissed about them picking up Hansbrough in the 1st round. He would easily have fallen to the second round and been available for them. I’ll still support the team, though, and it up some games. If Granger can be more of a leader, I can see the team going places.

I think Indy made a mistake trading Jarrett instead of T.J.. If you have to ax a person to make someone else feel secure in doing a job that they can’t/won’t do adequately in the first place, then you’re asking to be in a world of shit. Hell, we saw T.J. fight on national television because he couldn’t be the center of the universe not even a year ago. Even Iverson, Marbury, and all the other assholes in the NBA didn’t pull that. He’s transformed into a cancer since his Milwaukee days ended and with his talent and ability it’s a shame.

A few things about the Pacers make me think they could be this year’s version of the Bulls (team nobody thought would be in the playoffs, but made an appearance in the first rond):

- Roy Hibbert is a surprisingly capable NBA player. I never imagined he would be this good, but he’s OK and could be better than Murphy at the 5.

- Dahanty Jones and Brandon Rush are great defensive swingmen with complete games. In Jones, Rush and Granger the Pacers have a solid young trio of swingmen.

- Nobody respects Josh McRoberts or Tyler Hansborough, but both are smart, tough players who can back-up or replace Troy Murphy.

“and T.J. Ford doesn’t have to worry about gunning to keep his job since Jarrett Jack is gone”

It maybe just me, but it’s TJ’s gunning that would make me want to trade him and/or bench him. Ain’t no reason a 5’10 guy who is as fragile as he is should be driving and jacking every single possession, it’s silly. When he was on the Raps, I sometimes watched him do that and was actually hoping he’d land on his neck or something just so Jose could come back in…
