    well, we took Hill from San Antonio for our Draft picks. Not familiar with the guy, but everything ive read says we got a good deal.

      I like the move to get George Hill. I think it was a great deal for both the Spurs and Pacers really. While Kawhi Leonard was projected by some as a top 10 prospect in this draft he really didn't fit in with the Pacers and while he could develop into a good player I think the Pacers have enough guys that could develop into good players already. We needed a proven player on the roster like Hill. Hill isn't really a NBA starting point guard but, he should be able to fill in as a backup for Collison especially when the Pacers need to defend bigger guards that Collison might not be able to defend as well. Also, Hill can play shooting guard as well. I'm glad the Pacers were able to get a proven role player in the league for the 15th and 42nd pick in a weak draft along with European Erazem Lorbek who seemed like he wasn't coming over to play for the Pacers anyway.

      I have also been reading where Vogel will have his interim tag removed and will be named the Pacers Head Coach soon. I think Frank Vogel deserves it.

      It also sounds like Vogel has hired former Lakers assistant Brian Shaw to be the associate head coach. I hope that is true because that would be a solid hire for Vogel's staff.

          Man, I had to remove all of the crickets in this thread, though, if they weren't here, it would have been completely silent lol.

          Looking forward to tonights game. I think we will get a better idea of who we are after playing the Raptors. There is a little that between the teams from last year, and both had dominating first games so it will be a fun game to watch tonight I think.

          Pumped for next monday, I'll be at the game here in Jersey, can't wait.

            I'm really liking this Pacers team. David West is a really nice addition to this team and I enjoyed seeing him hit the jump shot last night to seal the win.

            And to think the Pacers still have like 14 million left in cap space. Gives them a lot of options at the trade deadline to make a move for maybe a high scoring 2 guard as I think that's the only real piece they are missing. Paul George can score, but I don't think of him as a true 2 guard.

            After years of cap hell the future is looking bright for the Pacers.

                I haven't been this excited about our boys since the days of Jalen, Reggie, Travis Best, and Co.

                I'm loving our PF rotation now with West and Pyscho T. Nice duo there.

                  I really think there's a good chance Eric Gordon is a Pacer in 2 seasons. Maybe even 1. He's a restricted free agent after this season and I imagine any offer for him will be matched by the Hornets, but you never know. Also, I think it's the main reason David West received and signed a 2 year deal with the Pacers and the Pacers offered a 2 year deal to Jamal Crawford which he turned down to sign with Portland as they are trying to make sure they have cap space in 2013 to go after Gordon.

                  So, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to see Eric Gordon in a Pacers uniform in the future and he would fit in with the team extremely well given that he is just what this Pacers team is missing. The only question with him is the injuries.

                    Re: Official Indiana Pacers Thread

                    Roy Hibbert is quickly becoming my favorite Pacer on this team. After tonight's win over the Lakers in which he sustained a broken nose in the 1st half, in the post game interview he said they told him not to come back out and play, but Hibbert told them he was going to play and if his nose gotten hit again and got worse then whatever because he wanted to win this game. You just have to love that type of attitude and desire to win no matter what the circumstances are.

                    The Pacers aren't in the same league as the Heat or Bulls, but I think they are the 3rd best team in the East. I know Philly beat the Pacers at Philly, but the Pacers were without Granger or Hill and at less than full strength they played competitive with Philly in that game. So, I think the Pacers at full strength are a slightly better team than Philly who looks to be the 4th best team in the East.

                      I'll say this, I can't wait for tomorrow night's game. The Bulls/Pacers rivalry is slowing coming back.

                          Big win over the Bulls. Derrick Rose no likey the celebrating lol.

                          Bad loss to the celtics, but a win vs the Magic tomorrow would more than suffice for this 3 game road trip.

                            Pacer fans, where you all at? You're MIA just like Roy Hibbert has been lately. Dude is non-existent since before the All-Star game.

                              Man, we dont talk too much Pacers. I feel like we talked more when we were bad, now we are the 3 in the east and we got nothing to say?????


                              Under 10 games to go, what do you guys think? Would be cool to make it to the 2nd round, go against the heat/bulls and put up a fight, 6-7 game series.

                                I hope Shump is ok. The ankle didn't look that bad when he went down. Wasn't like some crazy "god didn't make ankles to twist that way" kinda thing. Hopefully he's ok. Still though we need a 100 percent non-issue Shump for the next few games.
