The Pacers are #1 in the NBA in points allowed per game. That really puts into perspective how much this team misses PG and as already mentioned, how absolutely wretched the offense is.

Would people be opposed to drafting Russel if we are in the position to? Our offense lacks so much in terms of playmaking

I want him. He and PG could do damage.

Klay Thompson put up 37 points in the third quarter last night

And was perfect in that 3rd quarter.  I don't watch or care for the NBA much but Golden State is fun to watch.

Wiggins is going to be really freaking good. I still think the Cavs were dumb to trade him

[KingPG21 6,587]

Lol, at talking heads proposing we trade our first for MCW. Dude is crazy overrated. Also, incredibly inefficient shooter, who turns the ball over at a horrifying rate. Yeah that is exactly what this offense is missing

To be fair, he does a little bit of everything and he's pretty far along for a second year player. Not worth a 1st though, imo.

MCW was rookie of the year.

Lots of interesting quotes from Bird today. Says shooting guard is biggest position of concern. Please, please, please do something to get Russel.

I think he'll be gone before we pick unless we pick top 3.

Honestly if we aren't picking in the top 3 then find a way to get into the top 3. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being the best player from this draft and it wouldn't be close

I think he can almost be as good as James Harden eventually. Better passer, not as good a scorer.

I've got quite the mancrush on DR, and my dream is for the Pacers to somehow get him. He's going to be a star in the NBA, so I wouldn't be opposed to trading up to select him. Easily my favorite player in this draft. Okafor is clearly the #1 pick as of now, and I would argue Russell could be #2 jumping past Mudiay.

I'm not down with this if it means what I think it means.

@Yg_Trece: March?!

Idk how to feel about that sneak an 8 seed go out first or second round and get a mid tier draft position. Would rather rest up and get a top pick

Yep. Give ourselves a ping pong ball. Playoffs do nothing for us this year.

[Crimson and Cream 5,861]

I'm glad other Pacers fans feel the same way I do

I took it as shock that Bird mentioned March. I could be wrong

Ooo that could be it. I never put 2 and 2 together.
