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.

    Tim Donahue: The Pacers’ Ugly Side

    There are a lot of things to like about Frank Vogel’s Pacers. Since the young coach took
    over as head coach in 2011, Indiana has won 60% of their regular season game and
    provided some playoff excitement. They’ve established a physical, defensive identity
    for which the fans clamored.

    But they have an ugly side, and it was on display last night.


    That, right there, is the game – the meaningful part – in all its gory detail. For the first
    2-1/2 minutes of the game, the Pacers looked sharp, hitting four of their six shots and
    jumping out to an 8-1 lead. Then, the next 15-1/2 minutes happened.

    From the 9:33 mark of the first quarter to just about the midway mark of the second,
    the Atlanta Hawks outscored the Pacers 42-10 to -for all intents and purposes – win
    game three of the first round series. How bad was it? The Hawks scored more points
    off turnovers (11) than the Pacers scored off…well…anything (10) during the stretch.

    Seasoned observers of the Pacers could probably see what was coming by sometime
    around the middle of the first quarter. The game was still tied, but Indiana was
    missing bunnies and looked completely lost offensively. By the end of a 27-14 1st
    quarter, most Pacer fans had to know that they had seen this game before. There was
    still the possibility that they’d reel the Hawks in before halftime, but I wasn’t expecting
    it.

    This was another one of those games where the Pacers were expecting the other team
    to lose.

    It has happened more than anyone would care to admit this season. Games against
    Toronto, Charlotte, and Washington come to mind as examples. This phenomenon
    manifested early – when the Pacers were banking on weak opponents to get them
    through Danny’s injury. It manifested late – when they fell behind by at least 20 in
    each of their final six games – and David West said, ” I thought we maybe let our
    guard down, when we got back off that West Coast trip, and we were kind of reeling
    from there.”

    And it manifested again...CONTINUE READING AT 8p9s

    Robby Kalland: Big Lineup. Big Payoff. The Hawks steamroll the Pacers

    The Hawks went with their big lineup for Game 3 and dominated the Pacers 90-69 to
    earn their first victory of the series. Al Horford led the way for Atlanta with 26 points
    and 16 rebounds.

    The Hawks never took the Pacers to the point of even worry about the outcome of the
    two games and now the series comes to Atlanta (Saturday, 7pm EST, ESPN) where the
    series really begins.

    Head coach Larry Drew decided to switch things up prior to Game 3 and started a big
    lineup of Jeff Teague, Devin Harris, Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Johan Petro. They got
    out to a rocky start falling behind 8-1 two minutes into the game, but proceeded to go
    on a 53-22 run to end the first half with a 24 point lead. By going big, Atlanta was able
    to have Josh Smith guard Paul George. Smith's length forced George to be more of a
    jump shooter, and George struggled to knock down his shots going 4-of-11 from the
    field on his way to an inefficient 16 points and nine rebounds.

    "I was just trying to get a body on him," said Smith. "Knowing and understanding that
    he is the focal point of the offense on the perimeter and try to stay engaged [on him]
    and try to be elusive as far as pindowns and pick-and-rolls are concerned. Basically
    just keep a body on him, and that was pretty much the gameplan."

    On the offensive end Smith had a big advantage on George in the post, and the Hawks
    exploited that throughout the game. Smith had 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting, but he
    forced help defenders to come over and was able to pass out of the double to create
    looks for others with six assists.

    Al Horford was the star of the game, recording playoff career highs with 26 points and
    16 rebounds. Al credited playing more aggressive to the reason for the uptick in his
    production.

    "I was just being aggressive, playing with a lot of energy," said Horford. "My
    teammates did a good job time and time again of getting me easy baskets. They were
    finding me whether it was off help or drive and kick. Defensively, I just wanted to set
    the tone and be more aggressive. I go out there with that same mindset every game.
    Tonight I had to step up and make some plays on the offensive end."

    Horford started the game...CONTINUE READING AT PEACHTREE HOOPS

    Sekou Smith: Pacers Returning to Normal for Game 4?

    The Sunday afternoon film session wasn’t necessary. The Indiana Pacers knew they’d
    departed from normal in their Game 3 loss to the Atlanta Hawks in real-time, as they
    were being pushed around the floor at Philips Arena.

    The film session only reinforced what they already knew, what everyone watching knew
    by halftime of Game 3; the Pacers let the Hawks off the mat and fumbled their chance
    to put a stranglehold on this series.

    The Hawks had plenty do with it, of course. They came home and used some timely
    adjustments and some home-crowd energy to get back into the series. But the Pacers
    were awful generous for a team that has designs on a deep playoff run. They offered
    little resistance once the Hawks opened up a big lead, trailing by as many as 28 points
    after halftime and never getting closer than 18.

    Again, you don’t need a film session to know that you’ll be receiving two thumbs down
    for a performance like that.

    “It would have been understandable if we tried to do the things that we do and they just
    took us out of it,” Pacers All-Star swingman Paul George said. “We created all the
    mistakes. We didn’t come in ready to play. And the tape told it all. We did it. We didn’t
    come out ready to play.”

    For a team that crawls into the playoffs that might be an acceptable excuse. But not for
    the No. 3 seed. Not with a 2-0 lead in the series and nothing but opportunity ahead of
    them. That’s what makes tonight’s Game 4 (7:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV) so unbelievably
    crucial for a Pacers team that has failed in 12 straight tries to win in Atlanta.

    They cannot afford to “give” the Hawks any more life if they expect things to go as
    planned. George cannot allow Josh Smith to bottle him up in Game 4 the way he did in
    Game 3. Roy Hibbert has to chase away whatever Atlanta demons have plagued him
    over the years and dominate in the paint. David West, the Pacers’ leader and emotional
    backbone, cannot allow himself to get caught up in the swirl of foolishness that he did,
    throwing Al Horford to the ground and earning a Flagrant 1 foul before halftime. And the
    Pacers cannot be as careless with the basketball tonight as they were Saturday night,
    when plenty of their 22 turnovers helped fuel a 42-10 Hawks first half run that decided
    the game.

    “That was probably the most disappointing thing, watching the video,” West said of all
    the unnecessary miscues. “Just being out of sync, not putting the ball where guys
    wanted the ball, the simple careless stuff. Again, stuff that we’re not going to overreact
    to that stuff, but we do know it’s of the utmost importance that we take care of the
    basketball if we want to win this series.”

    The Hawks (14.3) and Pacers (14.5) ranked 21st and 22nd, respectively, in turnovers
    during the regular season. So for the Pacers to be as careless as they were was
    startling and even more pronounced...CONTINUE READING AT HANG TIME

    Jared Wade: Clutch Statistics of 2013 NBA Playoffs' Go-To Scorers

    The three-point shot was so irrelevant during its first year in the NBA that the Los Angeles
    Lakers made just three shots from behind the arc on their way to a title in 1980. Rookie
    Magic Johnson was their sharpshooter, making two of his eight long-range attempts during
    his team's 16-game playoff run. Norm Nixon hit the other one, but he missed his five other
    long-range tries.

    Yes, they won the title while playing 16 playoff games and making just three three-pointers.
    That is fewer than one every five games. On the 82-game season, that Lakers team made
    just 20-of-100 attempts from deep.

    When Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon, the NBA lost its most prolific clutch scorer
    from the 2012-13 regular season.

    In the final two minutes of close games (teams within five points of each other), nobody
    had more than Bryant's 91 points. There is no player in the league more eager to take the
    final shot—for better or worse—than Kobe.

    In the end of games, there is little room for error. The difference between immortality and
    going fishing can come down to one shot. Kevin Durant, who missed a potential game-tying
    shot     in Game 2 of last year's NBA Finals knows that all too well.

    During the 2012-13 regular season, Durant was not himself at the end of games. He scored
    a lot, but he didn't do so efficiently.


    Ultimately, very few players shoot for a high percentage late in games. The opposing
    defenses are simply too locked in and typically know who is going to take the final shots
    down the stretch.

    Along with Durant, the players listed below are the top playoff-bound clutch scorers. By
    and large, they are the go-to players relied upon in close games.

    If they can outperform their peers, their teams are likely to advance. And if any of them
    can catch fire down the stretch—like Dirk Nowitzki did in 2011, hitting 9-of-13 shots in the
    clutch—they might just have the honor of hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy come June.

    Note: All stats and shot charts updated as of April 15 and courtesy of NBA.com.

    10. George Hill, 51 Points

    George Hill's 12-of-32 (37.5 percent) shooting from the field in the clutch this season
    hasn't been great, particularly since it has been so skewed by his awful 3-of-12 (25
    percent) shooting from behind the arc.

    While he definitely needs to work on his long-range accuracy in the postseason, Hill's 24-
    of-36 (66.7 percent) shooting from the free-throw line in the clutch this season has been
    atrocious. We're talking about a career 80.9 percent shooter from the line and a player
    who, until recently, was the Pacers' first option to take technical foul shots.

    Indiana has team-wide efficiency problems when it comes to scoring, so the last thing
    this team needs is one of its key end-of-game ball-handlers getting the yips during the
    playoffs.

      First quarter has been a story teller so far. The team who wins the last 6 minutes of it has taken control of every game.

        I highly doubt we shoot as poorly as we did in game 3...

        And hopefully we can man up and beat them at our own physical game tonight... I'm looking at you PG and DWest!

          yeah that was just plain awful shooting. We settled for too many long shots. We have to help PG when Smith backs him down, because since Korver isn't in, they don't have great shooters out on the floor. West can take Horford off the dribble and Roy can take Petro

            A team built to win by defense cannot have defensive rotations (there wasn't much rotation, I'm being generous) as bad as last game. No one wanted to help each other, everyone was giving each other these "who me?" looks. That made me as sick as our offense, which was mind-numbingly brutal. We have seen this team bounce back after tough situations all year, no reason to think we won't again.

                ...and whoever wins the first 6 minutes loses control.

                Hawks started off well the first two, and we had a little run to start the last game.

                  The tenth most clutch player in the league needs to put some points on the board.

                    I don't want to have to win this series in 7, need to take this game or I think we'll end up with a everyone holds homecourt series. Hope the guys bring the intensity tonight.

                      David West needs to show me something here if I'm to continue to think fondly of him.

                        If Paul George is the ascending superstar many feel that he is, tonight is his time to put the team on his back and get a big W on the road.

                        Also, we NEED D.West to show us something other than that scowl at the refs.

                        They're the two best players on the team, they need to impose their will and get it done.

                          That's why we won games 1 and 2 with his play

                            Do you mean which Team is leading at the end of the 1st QTR wins the game?

                            or

                            Do you mean which Team scores the most points in the last 6 minutes of the 1st QTR wins the game?
