    Minor update on Tyler....

    While I was at the draft party I had an opprotunity to set down after the first round and have a conversation with a Pacers P.R. person.

    He stated that not only has Tyler started some on court drills but he has also resumed full weight training again with no restrictions.

    That's the good news.

    Now the bad and by bad I mean potential bad not really bad and in some ways maybe even good.

    The team is very much afraid that Tyler will over extend himself in the gym, apperantly when he was cleared he went after the weights with the ferocity of a lion and that he has been spending hours in the gym.

    Now more good news.

    The Pacers have actually sent a weight trainer and assistant coach (I don't know which one) to live with Tyler till the middle of Aug. when they expect him to return here.

    Also he told me that Tyler has been doing contact drills on the court so that he can get a sense of where he is at balance wise.

    Nothing earth shattering I know but hey we are about to enter the dog days of summer so it's at least something.

    Thanks for sharing. Outside of the losing, the worst part of last season was not being able to see him play and learn the NBA game.

      Is he working on his 3 point shooting?
      Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

        That's the only way he will beat out TJ for the starting spot at the point, isn't it?

          Why wouldn't they publicly announce this?

            No, they have McCarty working with McBob on shooting 3's to be the future stretch forward for Jimmy just in case Murphy gets traded.

              How do you know O'Brien doesn't have his eyes on TJ for the starting center spot?

              If that fails then I understand they will trying coming off the bench with TJ coming in for Murphy....

                  stretch foward.. JOB's system sucks. i was hoping when murph was gone we might actually have someone in the post.. guess i got my hopes up for nothing.

                  damn i want JOB gone with his PF shooting threes approach. and he is ruining Granger,, letting him fire 3's like his reggie miller.

                  ive just had it with JOB.

                  thanks for the good news on Hans.

                      Great news Peck, both from a health standpoint and from that "ferocity" angle. I love that Tyler is working his *** off to come back and doing everything possible.

                        I love hearing that.

                          Anytime there's a prolonged discussion about the Pacers it's hard to ignore

                            what a warrior <3
                            Peck is basically omniscient when it comes to understanding how the minds of Herb Simon and Kevin Pritchard work. I was a fool to ever question him and now feel deep shame for not understanding that this team believes in continuity above talent.
