Should be good....
While Lebron is whining about legitimate blocks, it'll be a reminder of a time when guys used to really hit.
That reminds me of playing National League in Ireland in the early 90s!0 -

Although you may have posted in the wrong forum, that is literally the least intelligent post I have seen on boards. Stick to the orange juice DRD I'd say:pac:
Back on topic, I wonder are the Wizards trying to get the 7th seed so they can play Indiana? Not scoring in OT, is almost unheard of, I wonder if Wittman told them to ease up. Atm, Toronto/Chicago is a much tougher series, Pacers seem totally dead in the water.
Yeah they won last night, but I honestly think they're in big trouble. They may get out of the 1st round but that's as far as they will go imo. You can't win a series with an offense like how theirs is right now. Last Friday, they were beaten by a Raptors team minus 2 of their 3 best players in Lowry and Johnson. They followed that up with home game were they were torched by the Hawks, who lets not forget are trying not to make the playoffs. They also only scored 23 points in that 1st half. I've watched a lot of the pacers recently, out of interest to try and get a read on what may have caused this spectacular malaise. One thing that jumps out, Paul George is not the same guy he was at the beginning of the season. Through December 31, George was making 46 percent of his midrange jumpers — better than Chris Paul. He was hitting 41 percent of his 3s — better than Kevin Durant. And he was making 60 percent of his shots inside 8 feet — better than Kevin Love and Tim Duncan. He was a machine. - Per ESPN.
George is now a shell of himself, converting only 45% of his shots from 8 feet and in, that worse than Mr "I can't finish" Ricky Rubio. His 3-point percentage is down to 34 percent, which is below league average. He is down to 37% from midrange, all of these leads me to think something is seriously up with this guy. Offcourt issues overwhelming him, burnout, something else? As Zach Lowe put it ". Early-season George was a triple threat who could beat you behind the arc, in the midrange, and at the rim. Late-season George dominates nowhere and nohow." What I have really noticed watching him is those inside 8 feet misses, players don't really "slump" from there, so his percentage being down 10% is baffling. It means that the Pacers can't rely on him to get to the rim and score consistently. The team’s overall offense has been exposed as a major weakness, and potentially as the team’s fatal flaw, at the most unforgiving time on the NBA calendar. Just a few months ago we were all saying that Pacers v Heat was a dead-cert for the Eastern finals. That looks increasingly more unlikely. One thing I feel for sure, as George goes so go the Pacers.0 -
