    Indiana Pacers 2.0

    I have massively re-calibrated my expectations for this team.  I no longer think an NBA title is possible.  At this point, I just want to win the Eastern Conference.  However, I'm not sure they are capable of that right now.  Heck, I'm not sure they could beat the Bulls in the 2nd round right now.

    OT: Shaka Smart to Marquette?

    He might have started to realize he wasn't the "it" coach anymore and figured he had better move while he could.

    Any truth to the Chris Copeland transfer rumors?

  5.   I can't stand KS for what happened here off of the court.  However, on the court I am not going to lie, I loved watching his teams play.  The guy can flat out coach.

    (2014) C Trevor Thompson to OSU

    If we have three people leave besides the seniors then I say go for it.  If only two additional players leave then I would rather go after two guys who can play next year.

    Would you rather...

    Wichita St. winning.  Reasons:   1.  I hate UK   2.  Even though they would be the new "last team to go undefeated" I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to compare playing in the MVC to playing in the Big 10.   I doubt anyone would think they could beat the 76 team head to head.   3.  I hate UK   4.  Theoretically we could always go undefeated again sometime and take the "last team to go undefeated" title back.  You could not take away a banner from UK.  Wait a minute, Cal is their coach, maybe you could.     5.  I hate UK

    (2014) PF Anthony Lee to OSU

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere we are getting his last visit.  Hopefully he's just checking these other places out to be sure before he pops on his visit.

    I didn't know that.  I'll be keeping my eye on the Heat at NOLA as well.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure Eric Gordon will be playing.

    The Pacers really need one of these next two road games.

    Heat are losing at home right now. Could be a really good night for the Pacers. Thunder are losing too.

    This is the best they have looked in two months.

    The Pacers have been good enough to overcome it a lot this year, the Hoosiers not so much.

    (2014) PF Yante Maten to Georgia

    So I am guessing we take a freshman "big" and the kid from Temple, right? If the Temple kid goes elsewhere two freshman "bigs"?

    Stop turning the ball over.

    Indiana Pacers 2.0

    Obviously I want the Pacers to get the one seed,but I hate the match ups that would bring.  As of now Atlanta has the 8 seed.  Atlanta has been house of horrors for the Pacers.  Also, 4/5 pairing is Chicago and Brooklyn.  Chicago is on fire right now and Brooklyn will be a tough playoff out due to their veterans.    For now, whoever gets the 2 seed has an easier path to the ECF.  Charlotte is the 7  and the EC semis would hold the Toronto/Washington winner.     God forbid we choke away the 1 seed, but if we do I think I've found the potential silver lining.

    Another back-to- back, another night of terrible basketball. At least Bynum is looking like a good addition.

    Indiana is on the NIT Bubble...

    I think that is our one shot, our name. Indiana does make the needle move. Like I said the nit is harder to project.

    Indiana is on the NIT Bubble...

    I looked through the numbers myself this afternoon, bracketology is a hobby of mine, and we are out of the nit by my calculations. The nit has always been tougher to project though.

    When are the NIT participants announced?

    I'm not sure how confident I would be about that right now.

    [quote name="TheWatShot" post="47650" timestamp="1394837387"] We'd have to try pretty hard to lose to the Sixers. [/quote Have you watched them play the last two months? lol. You are right though.

    That Detroit game is going to be huge. We really need to get the 2nd game of a back to back on the road for once. We need to stay ahead of Miami in the loss column. I swear if we lose to Philly....

    Last projections I saw had us playing LSU. That should make things interesting around the house.
