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.

    Stop Searching for Replacements, George Hill Is Perfect Point Guard for Pacers
    By Ian Levy

    Over the past three seasons, the Indiana Pacers have slowly transformed themselves into a juggernaut. This year, they've been steamrolling their way through the Eastern Conference with a destructive defense and steadily improving offense.

    This blossoming has been the product of player development, careful scheming, committed execution and a deep roster filled with overlapping skill sets. Top-to-bottom versatility and the way each player's skills can help complement and elevate their teammates in a variety of ways is one of the biggest reasons for their success, but it also makes it difficult to accurately judge the impact of each individual player.

    When it comes to the Pacers, the challenge of sussing out the relative value of each piece on the roster always seems to wind up focusing on George Hill.

    This week, with the Pacers in the middle of a dream season, Hill's name was included in a ridiculous, unverified trade "rumor" that had him headed to Boston, along with Danny Granger and a first-round pick, for Rajon Rondo. Indy Cornrows quickly pointed out that the rumored trade wasn't technically possible as reported:

    At first glance, this rumor does not seem very credible given that the Pacers already sent their first round pick in "next year's loaded NBA Draft" to Phoenix when they acquired Luis Scola. Adding insult to injury, the supposed trade also has Boston taking back far too much salary—unless, of course, there are other unspecified teams or players involved.

    But as bizarre as the specifics of that rumor were, the fact that Hill was even mentioned speaks to how little his contributions to the Pacers are appreciated.

    Hill mans the point for the Pacers despite spending his entire college career and the majority of his first three NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs as a shooting guard.

    In a postgame interview (as transcribed by Pacers.com's Mark Montieth) last year, Hill himself acknowledged that he was still growing into his role as a point guard: "I'm reluctant to play the one. I'm happy with it, I'm learning, but there's still some two in my body."

    His per-game statistics—10.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds—don't exactly stir the imagination and certainly don't scream top-tier point guard. In today's NBA, point guards are supposed to be devastating scorers or dominating distributors. Hill is neither, and it gives the illusion that the Pacers have a hole at his position.

    But if you move beyond per-game statistics, we find him standing out quite a bit more. According to Basketball-Reference, he is ranked in the top 20 in the league in win shares per 48 minutes among guards, both this year and last.

    Ultimately, the exact quantities of his individual numbers don't matter, it's what he does for the team. This season, even with a competent back-up in C.J. Watson, the Pacers are 7.7 points better per 100 possessions with Hill on the floor.

    But because his contributions don't come in the typical ways we've come to expect from a point guard, it can be easy to miss exactly what he gives the Pacers at both ends of the floor.



    Defense

    Defense is the Pacers' calling card, and although his contributions can get overshadowed by those of Roy Hibbert and Paul George, Hill is often the glue holding everything together.

    Where the Pacers' team defense really shines is swallowing pick-and-rolls and stifling dribble penetration. Hill can be a key component of that strength in two different ways—on and off the ball.

    On high pick-and-rolls, the Pacers will generally defend by having their big man drop back into the lane, conceding space in the mid-range area and walling off the basket. The player defending the ball-handler is responsible for getting over the top of the pick as quickly as possible and recovering to the ball. The wings pinch in, trying to direct the penetration to the dropping big man while still maintaining contact with perimeter shooters.

    In this example against the Celtics, you can see the basic set-up.

    NBA.com

    Hibbert has already dropped, and George and Stephenson are ready to jump out and funnel Jordan Crawford toward Hibbert if the ball comes to their side of the floor. Hill has fought his way over the top of the screen and will be in Crawford's hip pocket as he continues his drive.

    Defense at the point of attack in the pick-and-roll is incredibly important to what the Pacers do. As adept as Hibbert has become at retreating and protecting the paint in these situations, he also counts on help from the ball-handler's defender to recover and make a mid-range jumper a difficult proposition.

    Hill is very good at getting over the top of these high screens and recovering to the shooter. He can be exceptionally disruptive when trailing the play and challenging those shooters from behind or from the side.

    Here, he's able to get over the top of a screen and get back to Kemba Walker in time to block his pull-up jumper.

    On side pick-and-rolls, the Pacers usually employ a strategy called ICE. As an opponent sets up for a side pick-and-roll, the big man will call out "ICE." The on-ball defender is then responsible for jumping out in front of the screen, discouraging the ball-handler from going over the top and sending them back toward the baseline and a waiting big man.

    Positioning and awareness are big strengths of Hill's, and when playing ICE, he does a fantastic job of getting out high and recovering to keep himself in the play. Although the example below resulted in Hibbert picking up his third foul, he and Hill do a textbook job of using ICE to stymie a pick-and-roll between Mario Chalmers and Udonis Haslem.

    Variations on the pick-and-roll have become the offensive bread and butter for many teams, and often the ball-handler will not be a point guard. So while Hill's abilities to disrupt pick-and-rolls on the ball are incredibly important, his ability to also play the part of a wing in the Pacers' scheme is one of the things that makes him so important.

    When Hill is defending off the ball, his responsibilities are to support the pick-and-roll strategies mentioned above while still making sure openings aren't created on the perimeter. This usually means shading toward the ball while still keeping close enough to close out effectively on a shooter.

    Here, the Heat are attacking Hibbert with a Dwyane Wade-Chris Bosh pick-and-roll. You can see Hill has set up in a place where Wade's penetration will be directed back toward Hibbert well before reaching the rim. However, he's still close enough to close out on his man, Chalmers, if he received the kick out.

    NBA.com

    This next example is not a pick-and-roll, but you can see Hill walking the same delicate tightrope. Here, he's shading down toward a LeBron post-up while still hanging close enough to Chalmers (just out of the frame) to deter a kick out.

    NBA.com

    On those occasions where the ball does go back out to Hill's man, he uses his speed and length to challenge the shot. What often looks like an open perimeter shot turns out not to be as Hill recovers.

    In many ways, the three perimeter positions in the Pacers' defensive scheme are interchangeable. Each player needs to be able to aggressively fight through screens when defending the ball and maintain a balance of positioning off the ball.

    There are plenty of point guards in the league who excel in one of those two areas. Far fewer are able to claim both as defensive strengths. Not only can Hill do both, but he's also 6'3" with an enormous wingspan.

    The combination of size and defensive acumen allows the Pacers defense to be flexibly rigid. Because Hill, George and Stephenson are all able to handle the different roles required by their scheme, personnel can adjust on the floor, and the same scheme can be used to stop almost any sort of attack by almost any variation of players.



    Offense

    On offense, Hill really only has three responsibilities—initiate the offense, spot-up on the wings and push the ball in transition.

    The Pacers rely heavily on system and movement to create open shots, so Hill is rarely asked to use his individual skills to create openings for himself or teammates. Often initiating the offense means pounding the ball at the top of the key, allowing action to unfold in front of him and waiting to drop the ball off to either West or Hibbert at the elbow, or to Stephenson or George coming off a curl or a pin-down screen near the free-throw line.

    However, when those actions don't create the openings they're designed to, Hill is left to create on a shorter shot clock. He's been inconsistent with his decision making in the pick-and-roll, averaging just 0.65 points per possession, according to mySynergySports (subscription required). Some of this is still arriving at a comfort level between finding teammates and looking for his own shot, but it can create the illusion that he's a far more limited offensive creator than he really is.

    In 2010-2011, his last season with the Spurs, Hill scored an average of 0.91 points per possession in the pick-and-roll while working primarily as a shooting guard.

    Part of what restricts his pick-and-roll game in Indiana is when and where the Pacers ask him to run them. In San Antonio, he was often running side pick-and-rolls as a secondary action after the defense had already been moved. In Indiana, he's often running high pick-and-rolls as an initial action against a set defense or against a short shot clock after the first components of a set failed.

    These situations have generally not been good for the Pacers, but they're the one place where Hill hasn't really been able to give the team what they need. These sorts of possessions are easy to identify and happen to be unfortunately memorable because they often end with a wild shot or a turnover from Hill.

    Basically, he looks worse in these situations because he's often being forced to try and find a solution for a team failure. It would be nice if the Pacers could get a little more aggressiveness and consistency from his pick-and-roll play, but the problem could also be solved by more creativity or better execution with their other offensive sets.

    The nice thing about the Pacers is that Hill is not their only ball-handler, and they don't always need him to fill that role. Both Stephenson and George will step in and initiate the offense instead of Hill, replicating some of the interchangeability between the three players that we saw at the defensive end.

    Once the ball has been moved out of Hill's hands, he's usually moving to the wings to spot-up. He's been a potent weapon from the outside this season, hitting 38 percent of his three-point shots. He has a quick release and does a great job of finding open space and making himself available.

    He's also very good attacking close outs and creating off the dribble against a scattered defense.

    The last place where we can really see Hill's importance to the Pacers offense is in transition. Although they don't push the tempo as much as other teams, they do run selectively and use it as an antidote for some of their scoring problems in the half-court.

    Here again, we see that versatility is the key. Hill's size and quickness make him a very good defensive rebounder for his position, and when a defensive possession takes him close to the basket, he'll often grab the rebound and lead the break.

    But Stephenson and George also have this ability to find teammates in the open court. Instead of always coming back to get the ball, Hill is often able to let someone else lead the break, while leaking out in transition to find easy scoring opportunities for himself.

    Versatility in transition is a really under-appreciated quality. A lot of teams have very defined roles when they get out on the fast break—certain players handle the ball, some fill lanes, others trail and spot up. But when Hill, Stephenson and George are on the floor, all three players are able to mix and match responsibilities.

    Ironically, we see that some of the same things that make Hill so valuable at the defensive end are what make him important to the Pacers offense as well. Duplication can oftentimes be a curse, but the way Stephenson, Hill and George overlap gives the Pacers all sorts of offensive and defensive versatility.

    There are undoubtedly more talented point guards in the NBA, some of whom may even be realistic trade targets for the Pacers. But those more talented players generally have their talents focused around certain areas, to the detriment of others. While Hill may not be outstanding in any single area, his ability to do so many things well, at both ends of the floor, is what makes him such a perfect fit for the Pacers.

    Bleacher Report has been hiring a ton of professional writers this year. Not sure if this guy is one of them, but they are no longer just filled with crappy writers. The overall quality has been improving...

      Bleacher Report has taken a turn for the better, actually, so I'm not surprised. Levy is the founder and editor of Hickory-High.com and a contributor to Hardwood Paroxysm so he's a pretty good writer.

          Good article. Hill is seriously underrated all around because he's not flashy and doesn't put up big stats. People conveniently ignore how he plays with the rest of the team and his defense.

            When its a guy like Levy writing for them, I think they can get away with calling out "Business Journals" for making up NBA trade rumors.

              People also tend to forget Game 5 against NY last year when the team clearly missed his presence.

                Or all of the games he came up clutch in last year. The opening game against Toronto and the Lakers game in LA come to mind.
