Are the Pacers actually serious?

[DanielsonTHAGOAT]

Holy crap talk about a team totally collapsing, how do you manage to do this bad AT HOME against an 8TH SEED. SMH.

[Kyle]

Playoffs, man.

[Everlong]

Eh, they'll be fine. I'd actually be surprised if Atlanta won another game in this series.

[DBSoT]

Personally I am hoping for Atlanta to win the NBA championship with every round going to a game 7. That would mean Atlanta would finish the year 66-68 and win a championship. I would like to zee the ratings on that finals.

[SKS]

The Pacers are a .500 team in the few months leading into the playoffs, so I don't find this surprising. I think this series is going 7 games. They just look lost out there, and soft as well. Roy Hibbert is looking like a chump out there. Meanwhile the Hawks have won 6 straight and are on a roll with no pressure. The Pacers made it their goal to get the #1 seed so that Game 7 against Miami will be at home. At this rate, I don't see them getting past Chicago/Washington.

The East is shit.

This is the guy whose supposed to be better than LeBron..

Anyone who was saying he's better than LeBron is an idiot.

I'm embarrassed for him.

You are looking at it wrong. That's a hell of a job following his shot and offensive rebounding!

[ChrisCrossed]

Pacers are gonna make the ECF, I'm certain in that. That being said, they don't look nearly as dangerous as November, early December indicates.

You got Paul George sending men nudes and getting girls pregnant shooting below 43% most of the time, and Roy "Kwame Darco Perkins" Hibbert grabbing less rebounds than Mario friggin Chalmers.

[Messiah]

LMAO

Worst #1 seed of all-time. Miami has the easiest run to the Finals ever. Roy Hibbert might be the worst All-Star ever too. Holy crap is he bad now.

[Everlong]

Well, I was definitely wrong about the Pacres rebounding to make it an easy victory. Can't believe it. What the fuck has happened to this team over the last couple months?

[xgamr]

The self destruction of the Indiana pacers dvd when?

Evan Turner.

From a monetary standpoint, I get why you trade Danny Granger, but from a basketball standpoint, Evan Turner was the worst possible choice to get in return. Turner is young and kind of reckless. He was the #2 pick in the draft, he's been on a treadmill of stupidity with the Sixers, he gets traded to the top team in the conference, and he desperately wants to prove himself a viable contributor on a good team. The problem is that Evan Turner is a scorer and nothing more, and this exposes Frank Vogel as not being an elite coach yet. He's a good coach, but an elite coach, like a Gregg Popovich or a Rick Carlisle or a Doc Rivers, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, etc., they're able to kind of reign in a player like Turner and keep him from getting into confrontations with Lance Stephenson, which causes strain then with George Hill and Roy Hibbert.

I think Danny Granger was kind of the glue that held this team together. He was more of a veteran leader to this young Pacer team than I think anyone realized. I'm guessing he kept things from going out of control. But when you trade him and bring in a young gun who wants to get his, that's that first move in Jenga that causes the tower to wobble, and soon, the whole thing collapses.

[The Legend]

^^^ I would agree with this and add in the acquisition of Andrew Bynum who is nothing but a cancer and a team divider. He took his toll on this team as well.

[The Horseman]

Danny Granger really fell out of favor in Indiana quick too, didn't he? How many years was he the face of their franchise?

[War Daddy]

I wont be surprised if the Pacers lose the series. Just terrible right now;
