Are we going to ignore the Raptors' new revolutionary offense?

Knicks hitting a pretty tough stretch here.
If we can keep rolling we might be able to get a 1.5 or 2 game lead on the seed which may be all that is needed in this race.

we are hitting two rough games as well. the only positive is that OKC game is back to back for them.
in the end, i think we'll have to beat NY when we go to MSG to get that #2 seed.Comment

Brandon Roy: i'm at peace with my career, thinking about getting into coaching
Roy Ponders Retirement, Hopes To Move Into Coaching
Feb 01, 2013 11:32 AM EST
Brandon Roy nearly called it a career after suffering yet another setback in his rehabilitation from knee surgery.
“As soon as it happened, in my head, I said 'I quit. I just quit,” an emotional Roy said. “That was my first thought, that I couldn't do this anymore.
“I'm at a crossroad in my career.”
Roy will likely retire if he can't get right this season.
“I look at it like this has got to be the last season,” Roy said. “I don't have any regrets because I know I tried to give it another season. So me saying this has to be the last season, it's not as difficult as it was last year. I tried. I gave it that last effort and it's time to move on. I'm at that range to where I'm at peace with things.”
Roy hopes to start a coaching career soon.
“Now, I think there's something in me that I can offer to basketball. There's a message that I can bring to basketball. I wasn't the fastest, the highest jumper, but my knowledge of the game helped me be an effective player at a high level,” Roy said. “Coaching at the NBA level is where I see myself. If this season is it for me, I'm not staying away from basketball. I would want to get in as soon as possible.”Comment

WOW! THats is awesome. Who calls something like that? I've always wondered if something like that is legal or not. What stops a team from making a 4 person wedge around the the ball handler and creating a path all the way to the basket?You can't get champagne from a garden hose.Comment

so you think Neil Olshey would keep his job if he traded the #11 pick for the #26 pick
Some things never amaze me on PD.
Trading up to #11 would cost way more than #26 alone like you make it sound, so your "you would rather have Plumlee wow!!" isn't valid pretty major hyperbole. Of course if the choice was Plumlee or Leonard I would take Leonard 110 times out of 100 but that wasn't the choice.
If I was running the draft I would of traded back from #26 if I got a decent offer.
GS and the Kings were the only teams who realistically would of traded their pick last year and it would of been Granger ++. I don't think we even had the assets to trade up to #7 last year if we wanted too. Maybe we could of pulled a fast one on the Maloofs and traded to #5 to get Lillard only because we could of took on all their crap contracts and the state the Maloofs were in they probably would of accepted that trade.
would of been Salmons,Garica #5 for #26 two future #1 picks and another piece. I dont think Granger's contract would of intersted them because they wanted to cut costs.
Yes, somethings are amazing! Posters foolishness to think someone thought they could trade a #26 straight up for a #11. Trading up MEANS the team trading up has to offer other assests. Surely, that goes without saying. Sorry, I didn't diagrahmed it out so there was no misunderstanding what I said.Comment

I never said it was easy to trade up, but it does happen enough for it to be a valid situation. It would depend on what Portland might be interested in getting back. #26 plus another future pick, a player, a combination of all. Pacer homers if they were trading the #11 would want the universe, the sky, the sun, and the moon in return. On a more reasonable note maybe the #26 and another pick might have gotten the #11 pick. Depends on what Portland felt the #11 was worth and whether the Pacers felt a player they liked was worth what Portland wanted in return.
Bird in all his wisdom chose to keep the pick and draft Plumlee. What I will say is I have closely followed and watched the 013 NCAA tourney and watched Duke play during the reg season, and
there is no comparison between Miles and Mason. I'm impressed with Mason's alhleticism, ballhandling, and overall game. As far as I'm concerned, the Pacers have the wrong Plumlee.Comment

Lol at the people on this board who called what the Magic got for Redick scrubs. Harris who was one of my favorite spects is averaging 16 and 8 since the trade on 45% shooting. I know Hesiberg and I were hoping w could steal him from the Bucks. Why they decide to play Daniels is beyond me. I was lol when Harris was getting DNPs and Daniels and Dunleavy play like 35mpg and Harris was Bette than both if them. I just don't like how the Bucks run their team terrible FO IMO. I hope we trade for Henson if they keep giving him the Harris treatment. Always racing for 8th place. Harris is going to be the best player in that trade. I loved the trade for the Magic when it happen and love it more that they use Harris properly perfect stretch 4 for today's game. I said it then Harris would be a top 10 pick in this draft way better than the late 1st the pacers could offer. Anyone still disagree with that. I know some were lol at me then.Last edited by pacer4ever; 04-02-2013, 12:14 AM.Comment
