Larry Bird letting Vogel go was a stupid rear end move. But still, how are the Pacers so bad this year? Was George Hill that important?

Him and mahinmi could play defense yeah

It's this.

Larry wanted buckets and got them, Pacers scoring 108 a game.



and giving up 112.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
The main reason why Bird fired Vogel was because he refused to go small ball and continued using double-big line-ups with Mahmimi/Myles Turner/Solomon Hill because Larry Bird is a retard who thinks Paul George at the 4 solves his lovely signing of Rodney Stucky and Monta Ellis for 4 years

Any Minneapolis goons want to go to some cheap Timberwolves games this winter? They are doing a 6 game ticket package deal:

Golden State Warriors - December 11th
Portland Trailblazers – January 1st
Chicago Bulls – February 12th
Clevaland Cavaliers – February 14th
Los Angeles Lakers – March 30th
OKC Thunder- April 11th

Lower bowl starting at just $315 and in the upper level starting at $125 a piece. I'm intrigued but wouldn't want to go solo.

You're not really far off, the crazy rumors are mainly started by and for the local sports radio personalities so they have a full slate of topics to talk about when Rob from Waltham calls in to chop shop about some Who Says No, Bub

These quotes are funny because Demar's never been at a loss for confidence late in the game. He's always played like he's confident in what he's doing. It's just now his mid range shots are going in and the refs (unlike the playoffs) are calling all the sneaky fouls he draws.
