    If we had Hibbert, we'd be a top 2 seed in the west and a 60 win team.

    Pacers are falling apart! Watched their last couple games and they are out there all yelling at each other after the other team scores! Thought they were the chosen ones.

    Thank you, Paul, for getting rid of Pritchard. And his bad luck.

    Indiana just needs to let the cake bake.

    Interesting how there nosedive started since his trade. Maybe he was the glue when it comes to the team chemistry

    I would still love to have Hibbert.

    Honestly, from some of the things he has said publicly, I think the guy is pissed at the selfishness of some of his teammates. The dude usually plays hard.

    Hibbert is an amazing defensive center. Last year he was great and the beginning of this year he was playing at an amazing defensive level. Making great rotations never being out of place and his mere presence in the paint was causing an Orlando Dwight Howard type effect on players attacking the rim.
    During this collapse his D has been horrendous. Making bad rotations and being out of place all the time.
    Hibbert is worth a max contract and is one hell of a player. He is simply playing poorly much like almost all the pacers.

    This is the problem with peaking too early, as we've seen with the Blazers. It's hard to sustain that kind of play over 82 games. Especially for a young team.

    I like what the Pacers' coach did in the ATL game. Bench them all if they're not going to play hard.

    I think Hibbert really wanted to be a Blazer and it's starting to sink in. Lockerroom chemistry should have a stat, I think we'd be #1 in that category

    I dunno... you really only hear about 3 different locker room situations as a fan.

    1) It's your team, and it's really good

    2) It's your team, and it's really bad

    3) It's some random team, and you only know about how bad it is because of the stories (see: Indiana).

    If you had Bynum setting the tone for the team's Center, your attitude would become like his.

    You have something there. He's depressed he's not in Portland. That's it!!!

    Maybe he's one of the rumored All-Stars that told Dame/LMA he wanted to play with 'em?

    I think Tyson Chandler would love to play for Stotts again after the Knicks fiasco.
