Do the Pacers still have a chance?

[e's Nikees]

Prayers out to Paul George.

Do you think they still have a fight?

Chris Copeland can be a starter he always knows how to score.
Or should they throw in the towel and hope for a lottery?

roy hibbert is the number one option. lord have mercy

[mattvNJ]

no unfortunately. It really sucks. Just when i thought some sort of balancing act was coming out of the league amongst conferences. Paul George is a great player, uncanny size, defense and working on his O. Hes still so young. Hell bounce back but this year theyre gonna blow. Maybe can result for a high pick and smoother transition for George when hes back.

[Smook A.]

They lost 2 of their best players in Lance Stephenson and Paul George.

Now this is what their roster looks like...

PG - George Hill/CJ Watson
SG - Rodney Stuckey/Rasual Butler
SF - CJ Miles/Solomon Hill
PF - David West/Luis Scola/Chris Copeland/Lavoy Allen
C - Roy Hibbert/Ian Mahinmi

Sadly, I don't think the Pacers are going to make it in. They're most likely going to end up in the lottery. Next season will be really tough for them, unfortunately.

Here's what I feel the East playoffs will look like this upcoming season...
1. Bulls
2. Cavs
3. Wizards
4. Raptors
5. Heat
6. Hornets
7. Hawks
8. Knicks

they don't even have a draft pick from recent years to develope.

Paul George, who was 24 years old was close to the youngest player on the team.


they have Solomon Hill and Shayne Whittington

I guess Solomon can put up some numbers, but in terms of that directly translating into winning games this upcoming season?

[PJR]

Those dudes had their offensive issues with Paul and Lance...Now those two will be replaced by C.J. Miles and Rodney Stuckey...

Thye could still be an 8 seed, but hopefully they miss the postseason and get Okafor.

[Dro]

No chance, not unless they make a big trade or something......

[D-FENS]

Also, Shawn Marion is a prime candidate for the Pacers.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

The East is bad enough that Hibbert/DWest can lead them to the playoffs

[CHi1PriDe]

Doubt it, they just gave knicks the 8th seed

[MiseryCityTexas]

HIbbert as a 1st option with West, and Stuckey as second and third options. LMao that team is not even on the Bobcats/Hornets level.

[hawkfan]

They'll get an injury exception, but that won't be enough.
Maybe Jordan Crawford.

[Rocketswin2013]

Indiana would be so stupid to try to win and end up in a shit lottery spot like the Lakers did.


They should tank for Tyus Jones, Towns JR, Alexander, Muddiay, etc. The 2015 draft class will be loaded with talent. Lots of centers though, so they might have to decide on Hibbert and that contract.
