Stephen Jackson did things as a Pacer that earned him having some fans dislike him.
True
Race was not a major factor in wanting Stephen Jackson gone.
Probably True
Stephen Jackson isn't as bad as he's often made out to be when it comes to behavior.
True
The trade with the Golden State Warriors is lop-sided because we got the least talented players.
Painfully True
The trade with the Golden State Warriors is balanced because we dropped talented players who also carried negative issues, while adding less talented players without negative issues.
As False as False can be
The trade with the Golden State Warriors is not a bad trade IF Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Ike Diogu improve/develop.
False
Mike Dunleavy Jr. is a smart basketball player.
If by smart you mean white and slow then True
Openly and loudly cheering for another team is turning your back on the Indiana Pacers.
False
Maceo Baston is good enough to be in the rotation of a good team.
Hard to say but I think True
Jamaal Tinsley will improve under a new coach.
True
Jamaal Tinsley should stay an Indiana Pacer because it's best for the team.
True
The majority of our problems are the fault of Larry Bird, not Donnie Walsh, Rick Carlisle, Jermaine O'Neal, or other players on the team.
Larry and Rick
Rick Carlisle should have been fired.
True (along with Bird)
The Pacers will find a better coach for the Indiana Pacers for the 2007-2008 season than Rick Carlisle.
I hope its true but I am worried. Regardless of if the new coach is better the team will play better because they quit on Rick. Larry Bird was not a better coach than Larry Brown but they went to the finals with Bird.
Statistics can be used to support almost any argument, including two sides of the same argument.
True
Indiana Pacers fans are mostly comprised of fickle people who ride the latest bandwagon.
False if this were true there would be no fans.
Keith McLeod can be a solid backup point guard for the Indiana Pacers.
False
Jermaine O'Neal was never good enough to be the best player on a championship team.
Maybe True 50/50
Jermaine O'Neal was never good enough to be the best player on a championship team, but the Indiana Pacers should still keep him unless there's a "no brainer" trade offer.
True
Jermaine O'Neal is good enough to be the best player on a championship team.

Contrary posters can go too far with their stance and become detrimental to a debate.
True but only if they are flaming
Troy Murphy was limited by injuries this season and will look at least slightly better next year.
False He is slow and could not defend me if I had a broken foot
The Indiana Pacers are closer to being a good team than the majority of fans realize.
Hard to say the long term impact of the VERY bad trade
Pacers Digest, as of this posting, is more hostile than it should ever be.
False TPTB have made some serious boneheaded moves and look to be making another on with the coaching search we need to be able to vent.
The Indiana Pacers have more talent on their current roster than the majority of fans realize.
True we have 6 or 7 talented players we just need to dump the high priced dead weight we acquired this year.
Larry Bird was probably smoking cigars, not weed, with John Mellencamp.
True well cigarettes
While they may have viewed it as a two-headed operation where one was not more "in charge" than the other, the truth is Donnie Walsh is responsible for most of the moves the Indiana Pacers have made the past 4 seasons.
I wish I knew but it seems hard to believe Donny got that stupid recently.
Dislike of the 80's Boston Celtics and its players has clouded some people's judgments of Larry Bird's job as a General Manager.
Maybe true but I hate Bird as GM and I did not hate the 80's celts (only because I did not start watching NBA until 93)
Too many people pretend to know who is responsible for what in regards to the Indiana Pacers' management, when the truth is no one on the outside knows a thing one way or the other.
True
People with sources make their "reports" murky with opinion.
50/50
Pacers Digest is damaged beyond repair.
False nothing wrong
Herb Simon has more influence on management decisions than we will ever know.
? no idea
It is possible to be satisfied and happy as a fan of the Indiana Pacers without the team winning a championship.
True
Hard core fans take the Indiana Pacers and the NBA too seriously.
False how dare you
