Oklahoma City, let's talk for a second. Now we don't know each other well, but I know you can't love Nenad Krstic that much, right? If you somehow acquire the mis-used but still quickly improving Roy Hibbert, thus re-uniting him with Jeff Green, well let's just say there will be a large red dot on your ratings map somwhere on the east coast. So come on OKC, do it for the Hoyas. Oh yeah and you're two years from contending for a title in that case too. But what happens if Durant leaves to play for the Washington Wizards?

As a Pacers & Hoyas fan, I think the Pacers are looking a few years out. Jim O'Brien and his offense that holds Roy back will be gone. Also gone will be Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, TJ Ford and the roughly 33 million those guys are paid. A total bust year for the Pacers and a lucky lottery ball could mean John Wall, Brandon Rush, Danny Granger, Roy and Mr. Heart Hansbrough which would be a pretty solid core.

He better bring his bullet-proof vest with him. I think that if they're willing to pay, Durant will stay w/ OKC. It really seems like he, Hardin, and Jeff have some nice chemistry together, and they all seem to have their heads on straight. Hopefully, they all see the potential if they stick together and pick up one or two more pieces.

If this happens, it'd match my roster on NBA 2K10 on Xbox. I think you know who won the championship. SOOOOO glad I'm not the only one. I think I traded for Hibbert before I played my first game as OKC. Same here. I think in my next season, I'll have DaJuan on the bench and just to keep forcing trades, pick up AI as well.

DaJuan played for the entire 4th quarter against the Bulls in Chicago last night.
However, that was because the Pistons were down by (nearly) 30 at that point and lose for the 13th consecutive time

Tough night for the Hoyas last night. Jeff scored less than 10, while Roy had two in seven minutes (injured???).

On the other hand, both teams won.

Jeff's stat line looked solid, even if his point total was a bit on the low side.
As for Roy, Granger and Murphy are back from injuries, so Roy is again relegated to O'Brien's hellhole (he starts the game and then plays minimal minutes). It's a shame, given how well Roy was playing.

Summers also pitched in going 0-5 from the field.

O'Brien always benches Roy against Toronto assuming that Roy cannot run with Bosh and Bargnani rather than making them play half court against Roy. Last night the Pacers' small lineup worked somehow but it has failed many more times.
Over the season, Indiana is 8-4 when they kept the opponent under 100 and 4-21 when the opponent exceeds 100, yet O'Brien would rather try to run and shoot than play half court basketball.

I fail to understand why Bird gave him a vote of confidence earlier this season. That team will do nothing until JOB is gone.

Bi Roy didn't start but did see more time (although he fouled out) in the Pacers win over the Suns - 24 minutes, 14 points, 8 rebounds.
Spurs are beating the Thunder with less than 4 minutes to go. Good stats for Jeff (16 points, 9 rebounds (to lead team). DeJaun Blair is having a monster game -- 29 points, 19 rebounds. Dude's a beast. Anyone watching this game?

Jeff is having a pretty bad year - hopefully he can pick it up. Terrible plus/minus.

Great game...Blair almost had the offensive putback to win the game. Memories of his games against GU come back (shudder)...

Jeff is having a pretty bad year - hopefully he can pick it up. Terrible plus/minus. I agree, he's putting up some good stats but he always appears to be on the - side every game. And from what little of the Thunder that I see (mostly sportscenter Durant highlights) his body language just looks depressed and unhappy (as opposed to Roy who although is largely underutilized in Indiana looks upbeat every time I see him). Perhaps he needs a change of scenery, lets see what happens leading up to the trading deadline.

15 points and 11 boards for Jeff in a nice win at the Hawks. He had a tremendous 3-point play at the end -- took it from half-court for the slam with about 12 seconds left.
