Pacers not helping themselves by trying to win now.
I am at a loss. I have officially run out of things to say about this group of Pacers. From Marquis Daniels having a rapist in his house to Shawne Williams having a murderer in his, I am done. I am not done with the team. I will always love the blue and gold, but I have run out of thoughts to express about the off the court antics. What more can you say?
The Pacers are like your worthless drunk brother who has served time for robbing an elderly lady. You are embaressed by them, but you still have a place in your heart for them at the same time. They are still your family at the end of the day (or season.) That being said, I know that thi steam is going nowhere and I actually hope they lose every game. I want this team to tank and get a better lottery pick in the draft. I understand that to fix this mess, it has to be from the draft because no free agents are coming here and the last few draft choices not named Danny Granger are worthless (Harrison, Williams, and STANKO!)
My friends think I am being “fair-weathered” by hoping they lose, I couldn’t disagree more. I care too much. I want to see this team matter again. I know what has to happen for that to go down. The Pacers must trade J.O and Tinsley to free some cash and rid themselves of Jamaal. The team needs to draft an athletic player in this years draft and build around Granger. Will they be title contenders? No, but they will be heading in the right direction. You build success from the draft, not from allowing Larry Bird to make one horrible trade after the other. When the Pacers mattered, how did they build that team? Reggie Miller…DRAFT, Rik Smits…DRAFT, Dale Davis…DRAFT, Antonio Davis…DRAFT! See my point? Winning games this year only hurts this teams chances to rebuild the right way. It may take a while, but I am willing to wait to see my team turn it around and rid its’self of thugs and players who don’t care.
