    Yes, he is. 15/9 in 20 minutes. He was the perfect pick up for Indiana and the perfect situation for Bynum. He's averaging 11.5/9.5 in 18 MPG backing up Hibbert. I think signing Bynum significantly improved Indiana's chances of bumping off Miami. Between Hibbert and Bynum, the Pacers will always have a big body clogging the paint, protecting the rim and dominating the glass.

    I don't think he ever had a chance. I don't think either Bynum, or his agent, we're interested in Portland. And, it's not like we could have offered him more money than the Pacers. Indy was a much better fit for him. Sure, I would have loved to pick him up for the vet minimum, but there was no way that was going to happen.

    Doesn't matter to some folks. I bet Not Getting Bynum will be Canzano's next article.

    I like how, that just because they are a free agent, we have to entertain them. And even though all signs were pointing to him not coming here, and all signs pointed to him being a malcontent in the locker room and on the court... we were still supposed to sign him.

    Some people, man.

    Good god. 12/12 from the FT line? Legit. The guy is the real deal. He JUST had his career high against us. At least this one is in a win.

    In my fantasy league, he scored 59 points... no one (not even melos 62) got that close. lol. just to put it into perspective.

    Hard to tell considering there was no arc.

    ...and that it wasn't going to make it to the rim in the first place... probably a good no-call.

    I'm watching the Mavs/Celtics right now. A couple things:

    1.) God, Bayless is awful!

    2.) Olynyk is such a smart player. When he and Sullinger enter the game its an automatic run.

    Denver honored their 1994 team tonight.

    Nobody in OKC has a clue as to why, I'm guessing.

    I went to the Pacers Sixers game last night. A few thoughts. I really like Lance Stephenson. I wouldn't mind the Blazers making a play for him. He is athletic and and could fit nicely. The Bankers Life Fieldhouse is an awesome stadium. Got a tour of the arena. I like it better than the Moda Center. They have an exclusive restaurant right by the locker rooms where STH and lower bowl folks can eat before the game and watch the Pacers walk to the court. They also have a practice court at the stadium that with a neon bordered scoreboard. The crowd is nothing like the Blazers crowd though.

    You're in Indy?

    Stadium is okay (scoreboard/jumbotron thing is amazing), but the crowds suck. Especially on Monday nights against the Sixers. I've seen PG on that practice court a few times like an hour before game time. That thing is so cool when they open up the shades.

    Think he'd be a big upgrade from Matthews? For some reason i have it in my head that he's the SG version of Batum.

    He is big weight wise so I was thinking as a 3, but maybe he wouldn't go for that.

    Their jumbotron is ridiculous. Agreed on the crowd though. I meant to imply that the Indy crowd is tame and boring.
