        At this time I'm okay with whatever the Pacers brass do. They know things we don't. For all we know they are showcasing TJ.

            I like him, seems like a good guy and can help the team. I would rather see AJ as the backup though.

              Don't like him, but he should be playing over AJ until AJ works his way back to FULL health. I don't know whether AJ is fully healthy yet or not, but he probably is a little bit rusty. I'm hoping within 3-4 weeks AJ is ready and capable to step in as the backup.

                I think AJ is actually healthier than TJ right now.

                I wonder how much trade value TJ will have if he tears his hamstring because he's playing injured..

                btw: I assumed "I don't like him" means, I don't like the way he plays, not "I have a problem with TJ Ford the person" Because I've said repeatedly, he's handled himself in an extremely professional manner, and I respect him (along with the rest of the kids that have been screwed over repeatedly) for it.

                    During the pregame before last night's Bucks game, AJ Price was interviewed for a very short time by Stacy Paetz. During that interview, AJ stated that he is healthy and feeling great, and is keeping his morale high while waiting for his chance.

                    Any speculation about his inactive status being due to his health can be put to rest at this point.

                      Three years with TJ and he hasn't improved any anything at all. He's playing around 20 mpg and he's making me sick.

                      Three years is enough, sheesh.

                        I want to see AJ back on the court. His lock on shooting is needed.

                        I think Darren knows what he's doing, he doesn't need a veteran backing him up.

                          That's about the same thing Dahntay said a few days ago.

                          I feel like I keep harping this, but Dahntay is the closest thing this team has to a veteran leader. And has been since he's gotten here. I'm sure he's in AJ's ear, about keeping his "morale high." Must be tough though..under any reasonable coach, he (AJ) would be playing.

                          I've seen him (Dahntay) be an effective basketball player. He's a twenty minute a game defensive stopper (for guys that are his height and smaller...HE CAN'T GUARD POWER FORWARDS...shocking..)

                          It'd be nice if we had a coach that would use players correctly.

                            I don't like him and I think he's gone next year so every minute he plays is a minute wasted in the development of our other players.

                            I think he's a valuable player in a disciplined system that allows the point guard to dominate the ball.

                              TJ is alright but woefully inconsistent. He's alright out there as instant offense in limited spurts. He's a homeless man's Allen Iverson and has a horrible basketball IQ. Anyone who think he can play point guard well for sustained periods of time night in and night out is crazy.
