Pacers need to cut Goga

[Motion Offense]

Can’t have players on this team that can’t control their temper and decided to attack players after the game.

As I wrote in another thread. How about we wait until we have some footage/more information before we want him to get cut?

So far, there is only the Turkish side of the story/allegations only, and it's not like they were behaving like angels, either.

As usual with things like this - there are 2 stories that we'll hear and the actual truth lies somewhere in the middle.

I'm not a Goga fan - I pretty much think he's useless given his performance so far in his 'career', but let's see how it plays out before crucifying the guy.

The reporter is Turkish...not exactly an impartial source.

vid of scuffle:

no not of dressing room/hallway one, but if the little fella was "jumped" by Goga +2, he would be in hospital after the 1st hit, add security?

Gimme more Goga please.

Until I see this "attack" I'm going to reserve my opinion. Like if they went & confronted him, with some pushing & shoving then that's no so bad at all. If they threw punches well that's a whole different ball game. I like Goga's fire, but it comes out in the wrong way & at the wrong time, to me he is still very immature.

This threads wack.

Those who have already declared Goga a bum without him ever getting consistent minutes to prove otherwise are wack too and aren't to be taken serious IMO. There's not enough evidence to base that opinion off of.

Part of me wishes we'd just cut him so some team can give him the opportunity to live up to the high expectations people had for him coming out of Europe.

I'd love to trade Turner and give Goga half a season to see what he can do. However, early evidence shows he has no real offensive game other than shoot the three (badly).

Well, apparently he hasn't earned the minutes and when he does get some, he's just not good.

I don't know what else to say.

That entire game looked like a huge **** show from beginning to end. Even the effin Georgian Coach was getitng into it with the Ref.

I thought I read that Goga wasn't even playing in the game. I mean WTF man? I get the whole "Defend and support your teammates", but grow up a little. Geez

[PacerDude]

Based on that little bit of video, it looks like the Furkan guy can't control his Furkan temper. He got knocked TF down (it happens - right ??) and he got his Furkan panties in a bunch. Seems to me like he needs to grow a Furkan pair.
