Miami's best competition in their conference just got piped by Steve Blake and Jamison.....
How is this even fair? Contract that fucking conference already. smfh
And I don't blame him for going off either. When your team is doing well you gotta show up to big games. Although, to be fair to the fans.. Indiana are frauds in a fraud conference going into a fraud playoffs to job to the Miami Heat.
Real talk, that's basically all the East is at this point- a bunch of Heat jobbers.

It's honestly not that much better in SA. Not to the same degree... but close enough

well you do come off as a dick old man
Because those bandwagon fans actually paid for the tickets and thus directly contributed to his income?
Yeah fuck the customers. We don't want your kind wawawawawa.
he gets paid whether 1 fan shows up or 10,000 show up...
Not in the long run, no.
Bandwagon fans would become irrelevant if the Pacers could sell enough season tickets, but it's obvious that they can't. And since this is not a one time occurrence, the continual existence of bandwagon fans allowed him to get paid at the current level.
The other solution is to lower ticket price such that more local fans would go to games, but that will lead to lower player salaries as well.
What was the avatar bet?

Win streak started in Toronto, will it end there? Bron's shooting streak started there as well.

I don't think they are. If you remember the playoffs they are not playing high energy defense wire to wire. They are doing it like last year with that big 3rd quarter defensive swarm. Difference this year is that they actually have a solid offense, and IMO the birdman has been a huge boost with his energy for our second unit on the defensive side

Pacers tickets are ridiculously cheap, that excuse is bullshit. They have deals on all the time, there's a whole article on Yahoo sports about the writer taking his family of four to the game for 118 bucks. He included the price of gas, (he lives two hours away from the arena) parking, and concession fees. Ticket prices arent the problem in Indianapolis.
edit:
Coach Nick breaks down the Grizz/Clippers game from the other night.

The Grizz's offensive rating went up 5 points since the Gay trade

1986 Eastern Conf. 1st Round, Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics, GAME 1
Mike and Orlando Woolridge hold it down for the Bulls but Bird, DJ and the Czs frontcourt was too much.

GG Lakers. Just need the Sixers to beat the Pacers tonight and the Cats to troll the C's again to make this a good weekend.
LOL
not possible
Say anything negative about the Knicks (who haven't done fucking SHIT since 2000) and YOU A HATER

hahaha. See folks, people already pushing Jeff aside and crowning the faux king as the legit King. In a few years you too will be treated with lolz talking about 'back in my day' when you try and argue MJ was the greatest. The kiddies now adays have already decided to force LeBron as the GOAT, even with one ring.
At least we've moved onto this and are no longer having "Would you rather build around LeBron or Carmelo" or "Is LeBron a top 5 player today" debates

Well that was a dumbass debate to begin with. We already have folks (*cough* pimp *cough*) who think that the bulls of the 90s would be decimated by the teams of the 2000s. That Hakeem would be a poor man's Dwight Howard. MJ and his era will be treated like Russell and his in a few years. Shit is shameful.
Yeah, uh, I have never seen this uttered in any form
And I would say that Shaq's Lakers would give the Jordan Bulls a hard time, possibly win a series.
when you stop deifying the past then perhaps you'll be more open about the present

You never saw it uttered because it was said in the IRC chat. Just Pimp being Pimp. I am not deifying the past but rather honoring and respecting it. Many of the fine folks here have chosen to treat the players of the past as they would D-League or college ball players of today.

There's both deifying of the past and overlooking it, but the deifying effects are much stronger.
In terms of career stats, achievement, and ability, CP3 and Oscar are probably on the same level even if you don't account for CP3 playing a much tougher era, and yet Oscar will rank much higher on all-time lists. The failures of Hakeem, Wilt, Bird, and Magic in the first half of their careers (in terms of lack of playoff success as well failures in the playoffs) has basically faded from discussion about those players whereas LeBron and other players still have those types of things held against them now.

Didn't Magic and Bird chip in their first and second years in the league, respectively?

One ring to rule them all. But don't you worry, he'll have more by the time he's done.
I can't.... Is that an off screen photo taken of a tweet thats then run through an instagram filter?
He has a right to be IMO. He is right that they aren't playing horribly, and its more than a little weird to see the crowd react like that at home.
It was the worst I had seen since that Knicks game in Toronto where Lin hit that buzzer beater.
Failures of Magic and Bird? Huh?
Magic went to the NBA finals 8 of his first 10 years in the league and won 5 titles during that stretch.
Bird went to the NBA finals 5 of his first 8 years in the league and won 3 titles during that time.
And Hakeem was in the finals in his 3rd season as well.
How the crap do you list these guys and then talk about their failures in the playoffs?
What are your expectations for playoff success?

They both had a lot of really bad playoff performances and were called chokers by some in the 80s as well.
