He can't fucking grab rebounds though...


He can't be worse than Eddy Curry. 5.4 rpg... unbelievable... :lol:

He dominated Andrew Bogut today, he scored 16 points in 14 minutets, and held Bogut to 6 points.


The Bucks' summer league team sucks bad... especially the guards...

hear that Jae? Reece Gaines is stinking the gym up, once again... :lol:


Anyways, it's late, so I'm off like the old CBA... G'night!

Harrison didn't hold Bogut to 6 points, Harrison only played 14 minutes where Bogut played 24.

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... :lol:

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.)

i think you are probably the most biased fan i know. by the way, the pistons didnt have larry brown for a very large portion of the season just gone by anyways.

Strengths: A legitimate American made center with size and strength. A true 7 footer, Harrison is a nice rebounder and shot blocker, with a knack for the offensive glass. He possess nice touch on the offensive end and developing post game. He is excellent at getting up and down the floor and is a decent post passer. He is also a solid back to the basket defender…Harrison has size, strength and frame that all NBA scouts are looking for in there centers. That should be enough to get him in the NBA

Weaknesses: Questionable motivation and intangibles. Lacks toughness. Has never lived up to the expectations held for him since he left high school. Doesn’t seem to have that nasty edge that teams look for in their big men. He also lacks much of a jump shot or perimeter game, but neither are of great importance for him at the next level. His numbers have improved in college, but many still consider him to be a bit raw. Most of his points come from garbage baskets and not created by himself.

Other scouting reports are more that less the same. I must confess that I saw Harrison play only two or three times this past season, but he didn't look exactly motivated or hyperactive. But looking at his height, body type, relative athleticism and playing experience, he does seem as a career underachiever to me. Career backup C at best, IMHO. I agree about Foster being underrated, though (Y).

Stephen Jackson and ... hmmm... Jamaal Tinsley. Other than that, I can't think of anyone else unless the other team gives Fred Jones an open way to the basket every single play...

Jack and Tinsley can both go for 30 easily.

That's what a fan is my friend. I'm sorry I don't jump from bandwagon to bandwagon. I'm sorry I stick by my team and see things from a fan of my teams perspective :roll:

D-Weaver, stop the Freddie Bashing!! The dude went for 31 the game after the brawl when we only had 6 people on the roster and STILL almost beat them.

I don't think GHill or Cuttino Mobley were giving him a free pass to the basket all game.

Not really. I get nauseated everytime I see him walk up and down the court. I say 'walk' because if I ever actually saw him running that would constitute a miracle... :lol:

i think a fan is someone who goes for a team no matter what, not just someone who is ignorant and think their team is awesome and will win the championship every year. just because someone knows their team isnt the greatest doesnt mean they are a bandwagoner........

Um... I'm pretty sure I don't know you, so... how would you know what I've said in previous years? I've been a Pacers fan since 1989, and this is the first year I've ever been as confident as I am, clearly you have absolutly no clue what your talking about.

I'm still dumbfounded that this guy tried to act like he's known me for years...

I do go for my team no matter what, and I am realistic. I truly believe this Pacers team is the best team that the Indiana Pacers have ever put on the court. Believe me, this is not my bias talking because I am a bigger Reggie Miller fan then anyone you will ever meet. I think he knows this is the best team the Pacers ever have put on the court and he wants to let them have their time because he is such a great person. He doesn't want to hog the spotlight from JO, Ron, Jax... he wants to leave them, and let them win.

Oh god, why am I even wasting my time responding to this dumbass... ?

i didnt say you werent a fan......................
all i was saying is that it is not the only way a fan has to be, you were saying it as if your way of being a fan is the only way and anything else is being a bandwagoner!
i have seen your posts since you started, i have been here longer than you and have read pretty much all your posts, i didnt say i had know you for years.............

Well, it seemed like you were calling me biased and ignorantly and blindly favoring the pacers.

I get kind of tired of that, so I apologize if I misread.

No hard feelings (Y)
