It must suck being an Indiana fan though, knowing they're not gonna be getting past the 2nd round for a while now that Cleveland, Miami, and Detroit are all in their way. Even if the Cavs don't sign Sarunas, they're still looking deadly this year. It will definitely be fun to watch him wherever he goes, but I think he would help the Cavs the most out of any of the other teams interested in him.
I would seriously put all my money on the Pistons having a better record in the season and going deeper into the playoffs than the Pacers even if Larry Brown leaves and Indiana is injury-free the entire year. You give them too much credit.
Uh oh... I think someone is trying to convince themselves...
Let's see... the last time both teams played each other, while both were healthy I believe was one cold November night, the final score was 87-72 I believe. The boys in blue and yellow were the winners. We whipped your fucking asses that night, the score was closer then the game really was. I also seem to remember the Pacers taking the Pistons 6 games without our best player, and our other best player playing with one severly injured.
It must suck being a Detroit fan knowing your team will be lucky to even MAKE the second round of the playoffs next year with a Central division that's as strong as it is. You guys are fucking cooked without larry Brown and it will be fun to watch, just make sure you don't leave the boards so I can mock your sorry ass team next year.
Fuckin Detroit pussies always bashing on the Pacers, but deep down, they know who the better team really is, and they know that next year is the year that the pacers are healthy, and the Pisstons don't have LB anymore. The Pistons are finished, I don't even see them as a threat anymore.
BTW, I didn't even rank Detroit behind Indiana and Miami, I did that in no particular order, if I were to do it in order it would be Indiana, Miami, Chicago, Detroit.
On to David Harrison... VanK, have you ever seen him play? He works his ass off. What you said about him couldn't be more wrong. I watch David Harrison all the time, and the guy showed MONSTER potential, and works his ass off in every area of the game. I don't know what you're talking about.
Cyanide, I wasn't trying to make them look like all-stars, I'm just saying they are very good for the role they play on the team. We have 4 guys capable of scoring 30+ points on any given night. For a Center, we don't need someone who can put up big scoring numbers, we just need someone who is a good defender (all 3 are better defenders then many starting centers) and a guy who can rebound (Foster and Dale are more then capable.)
