The Rules of Pacers Digest

Hello everyone,

Whether your are a long standing forum member or whether you have just registered today, it's a good idea to read and review the rules below so that you have a very good idea of what to expect when you come to Pacers Digest.

A quick note to new members: Your posts will not immediately show up when you make them. An administrator has to approve at least your first post before the forum software will later upgrade your account to the status of a fully-registered member. This usually happens within a couple of hours or so after your post(s) is/are approved, so you may need to be a little patient at first.

Why do we do this? So that it's more difficult for spammers (be they human or robot) to post, and so users who are banned cannot immediately re-register and start dousing people with verbal flames.

Below are the rules of Pacers Digest. After you have read them, you will have a very good sense of where we are coming from, what we expect, what we don't want to see, and how we react to things.

Rule #1

Pacers Digest is intended to be a place to discuss basketball without having to deal with the kinds of behaviors or attitudes that distract people from sticking with the discussion of the topics at hand. These unwanted distractions can come in many forms, and admittedly it can sometimes be tricky to pin down each and every kind that can rear its ugly head, but we feel that the following examples and explanations cover at least a good portion of that ground and should at least give people a pretty good idea of the kinds of things we actively discourage:

"Anyone who __________ is a liar / a fool / an idiot / a blind homer / has their head buried in the sand / a blind hater / doesn't know basketball / doesn't watch the games"

"People with intelligence will agree with me when I say that __________"

"Only stupid people think / believe / do ___________"

"I can't wait to hear something from PosterX when he/she sees that **insert a given incident or current event that will have probably upset or disappointed PosterX here**"

"He/she is just delusional"

"This thread is stupid / worthless / embarrassing"

"I'm going to take a moment to point and / laugh at PosterX / GroupOfPeopleY who thought / believed *insert though/belief here*"

"Remember when PosterX said OldCommentY that no longer looks good? "

In general, if a comment goes from purely on topic to something 'ad hominem' (personal jabs, personal shots, attacks, flames, however you want to call it, towards a person, or a group of people, or a given city/state/country of people), those are most likely going to be found intolerable.

We also dissuade passive aggressive behavior. This can be various things, but common examples include statements that are basically meant to imply someone is either stupid or otherwise incapable of holding a rational conversation. This can include (but is not limited to) laughing at someone's conclusions rather than offering an honest rebuttal, asking people what game they were watching, or another common problem is Poster X will say "that player isn't that bad" and then Poster Y will say something akin to "LOL you think that player is good". We're not going to tolerate those kinds of comments out of respect for the community at large and for the sake of trying to just have an honest conversation.

Now, does the above cover absolutely every single kind of distraction that is unwanted? Probably not, but you should by now have a good idea of the general types of things we will be discouraging. The above examples are meant to give you a good feel for / idea of what we're looking for. If something new or different than the above happens to come along and results in the same problem (that being, any other attitude or behavior that ultimately distracts from actually just discussing the topic at hand, or that is otherwise disrespectful to other posters), we can and we will take action to curb this as well, so please don't take this to mean that if you managed to technically avoid saying something exactly like one of the above examples that you are then somehow off the hook.

That all having been said, our goal is to do so in a generally kind and respectful way, and that doesn't mean the moment we see something we don't like that somebody is going to be suspended or banned, either. It just means that at the very least we will probably say something about it, quite possibly snipping out the distracting parts of the post in question while leaving alone the parts that are actually just discussing the topics, and in the event of a repeating or excessive problem, then we will start issuing infractions to try to further discourage further repeat problems, and if it just never seems to improve, then finally suspensions or bans will come into play. We would prefer it never went that far, and most of the time for most of our posters, it won't ever have to.

A slip up every once and a while is pretty normal, but, again, when it becomes repetitive or excessive, something will be done. Something occasional is probably going to be let go (within reason), but when it starts to become habitual or otherwise a pattern, odds are very good that we will step in.

There's always a small minority that like to push people's buttons and/or test their own boundaries with regards to the administrators, and in the case of someone acting like that, please be aware that this is not a court of law, but a private website run by people who are simply trying to do the right thing as they see it. If we feel that you are a special case that needs to be dealt with in an exceptional way because your behavior isn't explicitly mirroring one of our above examples of what we generally discourage, we can and we will take atypical action to prevent this from continuing if you are not cooperative with us.

Also please be aware that you will not be given a pass simply by claiming that you were 'only joking,' because quite honestly, when someone really is just joking, for one thing most people tend to pick up on the joke, including the person or group that is the target of the joke, and for another thing, in the event where an honest joke gets taken seriously and it upsets or angers someone, the person who is truly 'only joking' will quite commonly go out of his / her way to apologize and will try to mend fences. People who are dishonest about their statements being 'jokes' do not do so, and in turn that becomes a clear sign of what is really going on. It's nothing new.

In any case, quite frankly, the overall quality and health of the entire forum's community is more important than any one troublesome user will ever be, regardless of exactly how a problem is exhibiting itself, and if it comes down to us having to make a choice between you versus the greater health and happiness of the entire community, the community of this forum will win every time.

Lastly, there are also some posters, who are generally great contributors and do not otherwise cause any problems, who sometimes feel it's their place to provoke or to otherwise 'mess with' that small minority of people described in the last paragraph, and while we possibly might understand why you might feel you WANT to do something like that, the truth is we can't actually tolerate that kind of behavior from you any more than we can tolerate the behavior from them. So if we feel that you are trying to provoke those other posters into doing or saying something that will get themselves into trouble, then we will start to view you as a problem as well, because of the same reason as before: The overall health of the forum comes first, and trying to stir the pot with someone like that doesn't help, it just makes it worse. Some will simply disagree with this philosophy, but if so, then so be it because ultimately we have to do what we think is best so long as it's up to us.

If you see a problem that we haven't addressed, the best and most appropriate course for a forum member to take here is to look over to the left of the post in question. See underneath that poster's name, avatar, and other info, down where there's a little triangle with an exclamation point (!) in it? Click that. That allows you to report the post to the admins so we can definitely notice it and give it a look to see what we feel we should do about it. Beyond that, obviously it's human nature sometimes to want to speak up to the poster in question who has bothered you, but we would ask that you try to refrain from doing so because quite often what happens is two or more posters all start going back and forth about the original offending post, and suddenly the entire thread is off topic or otherwise derailed. So while the urge to police it yourself is understandable, it's best to just report it to us and let us handle it. Thank you!

All of the above is going to be subject to a case by case basis, but generally and broadly speaking, this should give everyone a pretty good idea of how things will typically / most often be handled.

Rule #2

If the actions of an administrator inspire you to make a comment, criticism, or express a concern about it, there is a wrong place and a couple of right places to do so.

The wrong place is to do so in the original thread in which the administrator took action. For example, if a post gets an infraction, or a post gets deleted, or a comment within a larger post gets clipped out, in a thread discussing Paul George, the wrong thing to do is to distract from the discussion of Paul George by adding your off topic thoughts on what the administrator did.

The right places to do so are:

A) Start a thread about the specific incident you want to talk about on the Feedback board. This way you are able to express yourself in an area that doesn't throw another thread off topic, and this way others can add their two cents as well if they wish, and additionally if there's something that needs to be said by the administrators, that is where they will respond to it.

B) Send a private message to the administrators, and they can respond to you that way.

If this is done the wrong way, those comments will be deleted, and if it's a repeating problem then it may also receive an infraction as well.

Rule #3

If a poster is bothering you, and an administrator has not or will not deal with that poster to the extent that you would prefer, you have a powerful tool at your disposal, one that has recently been upgraded and is now better than ever: The ability to ignore a user.

When you ignore a user, you will unfortunately still see some hints of their existence (nothing we can do about that), however, it does the following key things:

A) Any post they make will be completely invisible as you scroll through a thread.

B) The new addition to this feature: If someone QUOTES a user you are ignoring, you do not have to read who it was, or what that poster said, unless you go out of your way to click on a link to find out who it is and what they said.

To utilize this feature, from any page on Pacers Digest, scroll to the top of the page, look to the top right where it says 'Settings' and click that. From the settings page, look to the left side of the page where it says 'My Settings', and look down from there until you see 'Edit Ignore List' and click that. From here, it will say 'Add a Member to Your List...' Beneath that, click in the text box to the right of 'User Name', type in or copy & paste the username of the poster you are ignoring, and once their name is in the box, look over to the far right and click the 'Okay' button. All done!

Rule #4

Regarding infractions, currently they carry a value of one point each, and that point will expire in 31 days. If at any point a poster is carrying three points at the same time, that poster will be suspended until the oldest of the three points expires.

Rule #5

When you share or paste content or articles from another website, you must include the URL/link back to where you found it, who wrote it, and what website it's from. Said content will be removed if this doesn't happen.

An example:

If I copy and paste an article from the Indianapolis Star website, I would post something like this:

http://www.linktothearticlegoeshere.com/article
Title of the Article
Author's Name
Indianapolis Star

Rule #6

We cannot tolerate illegal videos on Pacers Digest. This means do not share any links to them, do not mention any websites that host them or link to them, do not describe how to find them in any way, and do not ask about them. Posts doing anything of the sort will be removed, the offenders will be contacted privately, and if the problem becomes habitual, you will be suspended, and if it still persists, you will probably be banned.

The legal means of watching or listening to NBA games are NBA League Pass Broadband (for US, or for International; both cost money) and NBA Audio League Pass (which is free). Look for them on NBA.com.

Rule #7

Provocative statements in a signature, or as an avatar, or as the 'tagline' beneath a poster's username (where it says 'Member' or 'Administrator' by default, if it is not altered) are an unwanted distraction that will more than likely be removed on sight. There can be shades of gray to this, but in general this could be something political or religious that is likely going to provoke or upset people, or otherwise something that is mean-spirited at the expense of a poster, a group of people, or a population.

It may or may not go without saying, but this goes for threads and posts as well, particularly when it's not made on the off-topic board (Market Square).

We do make exceptions if we feel the content is both innocuous and unlikely to cause social problems on the forum (such as wishing someone a Merry Christmas or a Happy Easter), and we also also make exceptions if such topics come up with regards to a sports figure (such as the Lance Stephenson situation bringing up discussions of domestic abuse and the law, or when Jason Collins came out as gay and how that lead to some discussion about gay rights).

However, once the discussion seems to be more/mostly about the political issues instead of the sports figure or his specific situation, the thread is usually closed.

Rule #8

We prefer self-restraint and/or modesty when making jokes or off topic comments in a sports discussion thread. They can be fun, but sometimes they derail or distract from a topic, and we don't want to see that happen. If we feel it is a problem, we will either delete or move those posts from the thread.

Rule #9

Generally speaking, we try to be a "PG-13" rated board, and we don't want to see sexual content or similarly suggestive content. Vulgarity is a more muddled issue, though again we prefer things to lean more towards "PG-13" than "R". If we feel things have gone too far, we will step in.

Rule #10

We like small signatures, not big signatures. The bigger the signature, the more likely it is an annoying or distracting signature.

Rule #11

Do not advertise anything without talking about it with the administrators first. This includes advertising with your signature, with your avatar, through private messaging, and/or by making a thread or post.

  • Last summer's Orlando summer league results

    I tracked down an ESPN report I recalled from last summer regarding the performances of players in Orlando. Now maybe the overall talent was at least a little better last summer (it didn't help that this year's crop lost Brandon Rush and Koufos was too injured to suit up), but ultimately its the same event with the same five day setup. Therefore this writeup from 2008 provides an interesting perspective. The guys chosen for the First Team all had effective seasons last year. So while no one can predict success based upon summer league play, one can at least assess if someone is a legitimate prospect as a regular on an NBA’s team rotation. At least that’s how I look at it.

    By the way Brook Lopez was ridiculed by online bloggers after his first game in Orlando because he failed to snare one rebound despite being the tallest guy on the court. Ultimately though we can all concur that Lopez handled himself fine on the boards. And second-year-player-to-be and former lottery pick Joakim Noah, the guy whom Bulls fans think has finally turned the corner after his play in the 2009 post season, did not make either the First or Second Team. And to be fair about the idea of being cautious regarding a guy's play in summer, look at some of the non-impact guys who ended up on the Second Team. Again...perspective.

    Best and worst of Orlando Summer League

    By John Denton



    ORLANDO, Fla. -- Not since LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, T.J. Ford and Darko Milicic made their professional debuts here in 2003 has the Orlando Pro Summer League been so packed with so much young, promising talent.

    Although this year's class of first-round picks -- Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, Russell Westbrook, Brook Lopez, Ryan Anderson, Courtney Lee and D.J. White -- doesn't yet pack the same punch as James and Wade, the group will be memorable for years to come because of its depth, talent and NBA readiness.



    And even steaming second-rounders Mario Chalmers and Chris Douglas-Roberts made their marks by playing with a purpose and proving they belonged as first-round picks. Chalmers secured a three-year, $2.3 million contract with the Heat, and CDR might have locked up a spot as Vince Carter's caddie with a strong week.

    For a closer look at the highlights and lowlights of the week, here's a breakdown:

    BEST PLAYER: Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City


    Ask the GMs who attended the five-day camp in Orlando, and they unanimously pick Westbrook as the week's top performer. Everyone knew he was a defensive ace with his long arms and burly shoulders, but he was far more effective offensively this week than most expected.



    He used his size and burst off the dribble to get anywhere on the floor he wanted. Because of injuries, he never got to play against Rose in what would have been one of the marquee matchups of the week, but he had his way with Chalmers and the other guards in the camp.


    Kevin Durant, the NBA's reigning Rookie of the Year, left highly impressed, and confident that the young core of himself, Jeff Green, White and Westbrook means that OKC will have a winner sooner rather than later.


    BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: Derrick Rose, Bulls


    Disappointing, not because Rose is some sort of bust as Chicago message-board doomsayers fear but because his right knee gave out on him after just two games.

    The Bulls are stressing that Rose's tendinitis issues aren't serious. They believe some rest and an offseason weightlifting program will cure what ails him.

    Possibly of greater concern is the fact that earlier this week Rose confided to Douglas-Roberts, his former University of Memphis teammate, that he was frustrated in Vinny Del Negro's structured offense. At times, he seemed somewhat mechanical and unsure of himself in his two games, turning the ball over eight times and handing out just eight assists.

    But Rose is a can't-miss star, and the Bulls know it. The way he explodes off his hesitation dribble and already understands drive-and-kick concepts show that it's just a matter of time before he's an elite NBA point guard.

    But Bulls fans had better get ready for some growing pains along the way. Just 19, Rose has some maturing to do. And his jump shot is most definitely a work in progress, as shown by his 29.4 percent field goal shooting.



    BEST BIG MAN: Brook Lopez, Nets


    No player made bigger strides this week than the 7-foot 260-pounder with a mean streak and a feathery touch around the basket.

    The 10th pick in the draft -- who was overshadowed coming into this week by Rose, Beasley and Westbrook -- proved himself to be a force on the offensive end for a 4-1 Nets team that was the best in this camp.

    Lopez's ability to use either hand around the basket, face up and score off the dribble, and even bury the 18-foot shot allowed him to thrive offensively. His comfort level and improvement showed as he bettered his scoring output in each of the five games. He had 10 points Monday against Orlando, 18 on Tuesday versus Miami, 22 more against Oklahoma City on Wednesday and another 23 on Thursday against Chicago's Aaron Gray and Joakim Noah. Then, he capped a strong showing with 19 of his 25 points in the second half of Friday's win over Chicago.

    Rebounding (just 4.8 a game) and fouls (26 in five games) are concerns, but Lopez is clearly the Nets' center of the future. And with Nenad Krstic likely on the way out, Lopez should be the starter on opening day.

    "I had the mentality to try and foul a lot, and I thought I achieved that," Lopez joked. "It's really been a learning experience for me, learning to slow down and let the plays come to me. I'm happy with how things went."



    BEST BIG MAN, PART II: Michael Beasley, Heat


    Watching Beasley, the second overall pick in the draft, it's easy to see why he's nicknamed "B-Easy." With his fluid moves, lethal left hand and the ability to hit shots from afar, the game often does look as if it comes easy to him.



    But it's times like Friday, when he's coasting on the perimeter and heaving up four 3-pointers (all misses), that he needs to be reminded that he is, after all, a power forward.

    Beasley showed the ability to dictate the offense from the high post by using his pump fakes and quick first step to get by other big guys. But he did struggle at times on the block, especially against the long-armed defense of New Jersey's Sean Williams. And he has learned already that life won't be simple as a rookie teenager trying to survive in a man's league.

    "I had a good week, and overall I played decent," said Beasley, who finished tied for fourth in scoring (19.6 points per game) for the week behind OKC's Green (22.8), Durant (22.0) and Orlando's Lee (20.2). "I learned that it's not easy for a rookie out there."

    Beasley, at 6-foot-8 (in shoes), will struggle at first against bigger power forwards, but his advantages will come on the high post and off pick-and-pop situations.

    Huffed Beasley: "I told everybody I'm tough. I'm not soft."

    BEST CAMEO: Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City


    Watching 6-9 Durant stroke one jumper after another in his one game Tuesday was worth the price of a press pass.

    He had 22 points, 2 3-pointers and 5 rebounds in a single 27-minute appearance -- and, not surprisingly, his team captured its first victory as the Oklahoma City Nicknames-to-be-named-laters. (Drillers seemed to be the name of choice at the summer league.)

    While most of his NBA brethren have been vacationing in the Bahamas and sipping on fruity drinks with umbrellas, Durant has been humping it daily in gymnasiums across the country. He worked out for a week with Green in Washington and ran drillls at his alma mater at the University of Texas for a few days. After this week's camp, he's scheduled to play in Alonzo Mourning's charity game in Miami, then train with Team USA later in the month in Las Vegas.

    "From day one, it's been a hard thing keeping him off the floor," coach P.J. Carlesimo said. "He's a gym rat and enthusiastic about the game. That's a delight as a coach."

    As selected by the 2.2 million viewers of the streaming video coverage throughout the week:



    FIRST TEAM
    G Russell Westbrook, OKC (16.5 ppg)

    Re: Last summer's Orlando summer league results

    It's interesting that all of the first teamers had good seasons.

    Chalmers had a nice season off the second team, and Gortat did well for himself, but CDR didn't do much, Calloway was out of the league, and who the **** is Jaycee Carroll?

      I believe Carroll was a short, white kid from Utah State. Good shooter, but doesn't give you much else.

        Interesting; apparently the summer league has a type. I've watched guys like Bellinelli from Golden State and Kapono, who sound a lot like that, have great seasons in summer league, then obviously not have their games translate to the regular season. This led me to believe that the summer league is not at all correlated to regular season success.

        But looking at that list of first teamers, maybe it is. I'd be curious to see an analysis matching up summer league and regular season success, especially since Pacer players had a decent summer. And is there a certain type of player, like unathletic shooters, who can excel in the summer but not in the league?

            I don't know about this theory. Kapono has turned out pretty good...a lot better than the much more athletic David Harrison...who also did well in summer league. Sure, unathletic shooters are not going to do that well. Otherwise, you would have a whole lot of pot-bellied 40 year olds on the all-star team. To be sure, I have met more than a few guys like that who could not possibly miss. Seriously, is this not obvious?

              He turned out OK, but at the same time he doesn't get consistent minutes on a non-playoff team. And he BALLED in summer league. We're talking MVP, 50 point games, etc. And the three guys who stick out in my mind as excelling back when I used to go to the Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City, UT are Bellinelli, Tsikishvilli, and Kapono; they each were THE hot guy of their summer and yet never panned out to that level. And they share a lot in common. It's not obvious to me why that type of player would tend to be more successful in summer league than the regular season, considering that offensive sets are more disorganized and its not clear why a shooter would prosper in that kind of environment.

                There is very little preparation going on during the summer and guys barely even know the names of the opposition, let alone their tendencies. This is so absolutely crucial in a one game series during the summer it's not even funny. This lack of preparation really gives one-on-one guys and great shooters a major advantage. For example, to defend Kapono, you really need to know where he likes to get the ball...how he gets it...when he gets it...from whom he gets it...etc....or he will fill it up all day long because he cannot miss. If someone is guarding him...glued to him...he has a more difficult time. But even so, it is hard to keep track of the dude enough to prevent that sweet stroke from lighting you up. Without a doubt, the Pacers have been on the receiving end at times.

                So, IMO, professional scouting, coaching, game preparation are all very important to be able to stop a shooter who is not too terribly quick...or not too long. If those things are all done well by a quick defensive player, defending that type of shooter is almost always manageable.

                  Good point. Folks also claim big men are typically those who will fare worst in summer league. People last summer didn't expect Lopez to do well in Orlando because summer league isn't typically about getting the big man the ball.

                    Exactly. I would actually expect that bigs and shooters fare worse in summer league. They are dependent on others to get them the ball. Conversely I would expect slashing guards to play well because they have the ball in their hands and can create their own shot. Surprised there's so many examples of it being the other way around. Your point about defenses is a sound one, but I'm surprised that a few blown coverages can compensate for the general lack of offensive organization.
