Where do you guys rate Paul George?

16.8 PER this season, and a 17 PER in the playoffs.

He's a nice player, but he needs to make a big jump to be considered a 'superstar'. West and Hibbert are way more important to the Pacers at this point.

I mostly agree, but you also have to admit he is great on D, which doesn't really show up in PER

top 20 in the league overall. 3rd best SF

Dude has great potential to be one of the best two way players in the game. His inconsistent aggression on O is the only thing holding him back.
 
Paul Georges scoring went up this year but his %'s dipped across the board. He has great potential and could be the next superstar but he has a tendency to disappear for long strechs in games. He is a great defender and is perfectly capable of defending the best wing on the opposing team and being relied on to score, not something many players can do, which puts him in elite company. He is the 4-5th best SF and a fringe top 20 player who pushed himself into the Rondo-level Stardom this year and could very well propel himself further and become a superstar next year (or this year if they beat the Heat and he goes nuts in the Finals).

If George is so great on D, then why is Lance Stephenson defending James most of the time?
 
Anyone see Roy Hibbert's postgame press conference? Gotta like this guy...

I don't buy into all of the hype about how great of a center he is based on this series alone though, because well, he's playing Joel Anthony. Let's calm down and wait until he (hopefully) has to play Timmy D.
 
Supposing the Pacers do win. Who should be favored in the Finals? I'm going to say Spurs just because I think that the Heat was a perfect matchup for the Pacers, but the Spurs won't be. The Spurs easily disposed of Memphis, who are very similar to the Pacers.

And that would be fine with me. I'd be happy to see Duncan get another ring. Same as Kobe, one more than Shaq.

I would root for the pacers. They don't have a title and I just love hibbert! Also the spurs already have some titles. Always root for the underdog!

They can clear almost $19m by getting rid of Wade, and which means they would have to clear another $20m to sign Howard.

Regardless, Wade is a shell of himself at this point of his career. I feel bad for the guy, because he's embarrassing himself.

Using amnesty on him would barely get them below the cap. If Howard would sign for a couple $million, it might be worth it.

I'm not sure if Miami can trade Wade for Howard in a S&T.

He looks more like he's playing injured than washed up.

I don't think you can since both teams are in luxury tax.

Wade has a ton of miles and is hurt.

Bosh looks scared, and is basically Matt Bullard at this point, but with a worse 3-point shot.
 
This is going to be an interesting game 7. What worries me is that Miami (for once) had some bad calls go against them last game. They will be crying over everything tonight and so will the crowd. The Pacers and the Refs need to ignore it as best as possible. Unfortunately I don't think either will.

I am hoping for the Heat to be up a few early in the 4th, get confident, and then one of the Pacers to get hot. One of them needs to go off down the stretch. I want to hear the phrase
"unconscious" being used to describe Paul George late in the game.
 
I hope Miami runs circles around the Pacers and that Wade and Bosh look like NBA players again. Maybe a couple "Birdman, Birdman!" expressions, as well.

Pacers vs Spurs in the finals would be unwatchable. The Spurs will murder them.
 
Is there any way the NBA allows the Pacers to win this game?

I just don't see it...
 
Wade and Bosh ... ugh.

Looks like it's going to have to be the LeBron Show tonight. If the Heat get by the Pacers, the Spurs will take the Heat in 5 games unless Bosh can pull his head out of his ass and get in the paint once in a while.
 
That was a horrible half for Indiana, they looked just plan shell shocked the second quarter.
 
Bosh and Ray Allen wake up, while Indiana seems to be wilting with the pressure of the game.

15 turnovers in the first half??
 
Boring game, yeah. First time, I've decided to watch the whole game. These playoffs suck. I'm kind of rooting for Indiana here but if it's Spurs vs Miami, I have absolutely no interest who wins. Zero.

Funky butt nuggets.
 
This game is getting a little hard to watch if your an indiana fan. On the bright side if the pacers can pull it to within 10 by the fourth I think they have a decent shot.
 
Hibbert with 5 fouls before the end of the 3rd.

Hello David Stern!!
