    Mike Wells: Stephenson backing up DC, AJ out

    "Lance Stephenson to be backup point guard vs Jersey after A.J. Price had an unexcused absence at shootaround."

    link

    Cross your fingers.

    EDIT: Also, Stacey Paetz is out sick and won't be broadcasting tonight. I smell a scandal.

        Not too happy about the Price situation but I look forward to not seeing Stacey...she seems like she likes her job and tries pretty hard, but I can't stand her more than Quinn for some reason.

          Same here. That's my question. What qualifies as "unexcused" in professional basketball? In high school gym, it was forgetting to bring gym shorts.

            Hmmmm.

            I've been wanting to see some Lance. Here's his opportunity.

              "Price's punishment is being the 3rd PG. He'll play if Collison/Lance get in foul trouble. Not a good time to not have ur priorities straight"

                All I know is that I am glad someone is taking Price's spot. He has been enraging to watch of late. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a selfish point guard. It appears as if he thinks a pick n roll means that someone sets a pick for him so he can roll to otherside of the perimeter and jack up a shot.

                  Well we know it's not forgetting how to run the offense, because he's forgot that without consequence for quite a few games now.

                    There has to be a good reason. I just don't see AJ messing up for no reason. Seems like a really good guy and he's worked so hard getting back.
                    Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL

                      Agreed.


                      Let's just hope that playing Lance doesn't start another 6 game losing streak.

                        Yeh, at least Lance drives to the hoop and misses the layup. /lancehate

                        I think Lance is going to realize what he needs to do, and really make a case for his placement at the backup 2. Like I said, fingers crossed.

                          Hmmm, A.J. is from New Jersey and grew up in New York. Maybe hanging out with friends/family and was late for Shootaround?

                              Well... the guy who has been playing backup PG would be suited up otherwise... I have been highly doubting his play and production. Like I said, Lance may be stepping up.
