If we play the second half like we have lately we should come away with the W

Lol good ole Roy calling out Lance and then praising George. They are a combined 2-11. How many **** games shooting does George need to produce before he, our supposed leader, takes some accountability and looks to make adjustments?

When someone tries to dribble around too much and play selfish ball, yes sir, that IS a problem. Whether or not you like Lance you have to be able to see that.

Could've sworn you were referring to pg, you forgot to mention all those ill advised threes and unforced turnovers trying to split the defenders. Has lance ever had the number of 0-fers, crazy turnover numbers or 3pt attempts pg has had for the entire of 2014?

Cuz, the Bulls and Pacers run a different offense and his role is different here in Indy compared to with the Bulls.

He just doesn't fit in the Pacers offense. DJ didn't play like the way he played in Chicago after playing with Raptors.

Players do well if they find a system that fits their style.

Against the Heat in the playoffs, he could barely bring the ball up court.

I never said he was, but it seems like our second unit plays better without him. I suppose don't see the sense in playing him 40 minutes a game when our second unit seems more than capable of functioning better without him. It's a win-win for all parties involved, IMO.

He and Evan Turner provide similar playmaking ability, so as long as Turner is running w/ the 2nd unit I agree. I think part of Lance's "trying to score all the time and much of that coming from dribbling for 12 seconds then throwing up a wild layup" is the lack of motion by his teammates. I can't catch every game, but when he's ISO'ing nobody else appears to be cutting or attempting to get open. They all stand around unless West gets the ball, and it's kind of sad when your oldest player is your most active on offense. I wish we had an athletic big that we could occasionally run with the 1st unit (Mahinmi doesn't count because of his hands). We should be able to have one of the most devastating pick and roll combos with Lance and PG, but Hibbert is just too slow to do anything after a pick but take 1 step and maybe shoot a 20 foot shot.

Is it just me or do we not get any 50/50 balls anymore

This ball movement is very encouraging.

The 2nd quarter tonight and the Pistons game in the second half were probably the two best bench performances of the season. Lance was not on the court much during those stretches.

We need to minimize the time Lance spends with the second unit. He wants to take it on himself to be the #1 option when he's with them which makes for our under utilizing the talent we have on our bench. He was bad for Granger and he's been bad for Turner when they're together.

George Hill looked just as bad, which is why we had Lance bring the ball up more than he probably did in the regular season.

When we are working as a team we are at our best.

Simple as that.
