    I took my 15 year old nephew to his first NBA game this past weekend, he had never been to an NBA or College game. Thought this year for Christmas i would give his a memory instead of a crappy gift. Needless to say he was in sensory over load. I couldnt tell if he liked the Pacers or the Pacemates better.

    The Pacers put on a great game day atmosphere and reccomend it to anyone. Our tickets had a players picture on each, one had Stephenson and one had grainger, needless to say I used the Grainger one to get in the door.

    Now if Muskie would only take me next time he gets the fat cat seats.

    I am rooting for anyone to beat the Heat. I think the Pacers have the best chance to beat LBJ and crew. I like the Pacers due primarily to DFW, but I simply cannot root for Stephenson.

    That would be a wise move as they've proven they can win without him...still not convinced they sign lance to a 5 year deal though...gotta imagine he's looking for a lot of $$ this year too.

    This article includes West's video response to Stephenson's exclusion. David Friggin' West, telling it like it is.

Oklahoma City is right behind them at 8.3 and San Antonio is close at 7.8. Then it starts falling off: Miami is at 6.6, LAC is at 6.2, and Houston is at 5.2.

    The fans around Indy (my perspective at least) overvalue Granger because he was the first player that stuck with them as they try to come back to early 2000 success. He also was a steal at his draft position relatively speaking (and Stephenson was a huge steal).
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

    Cut him and sign Damon Bailey.

    Pacers fans also were pissed they took Reggie.

    Bailey is a high school girls coach in Indiana. They played (and beat) Kettering Fairmont this year, so they're apparently pretty good.

    Surprisingly Lance has kind of become a model citizen and teamate under the watchful eye of DFW. Nobody on that team act
    s like a screw-up, with DFW in charge. West squeezed the UC out of Stephenson.

    looks like you picked a good game to go to! West and Hill carried Indy to that win. I haven't gotten a chance to watch Lillard a lot, but man he's a heck of a player.
