Certainly Hibbert is an absolute joke at the moment (shouldnt be too surprised since he is 7'2" and only averages 11 and 7), but the Pacers as a whole look like shit too. Paul George and David West dont look good. Evan Turner was supposed to be this power move and he is a non factor. Vogel doesn't look like he has the team's attention. Just a big mess.


Tracy Mcgrady and Gilbert Arenas mocking Hibbert is laughable. McGrady's legacy is choking in the playoffs and NEVER getting past the first round. And Arenas was always a garbage player. Morons.

kids these fuckin days shake my damn head son

[pinche gringo]

There's something screwy going on, Charles Barkley just said something nice about the Trail Blazers.

[BallDontLie]

Arenas always a garbage player ? C'mon son.

Hibbert averaged like 4 points and 3 boards against a sub .500 team.... Surprised more washed up pros aren't clowning on him.

[pinche gringo]

I hope the rest of this Spurs/Blazers series is a little closer.

[Big Skatefase]

portland playing a team that can actually play defense now lol

Very true. Their shooting was abysmal and their confidence was clearly rattled.

[gnidraobetaks]

yeah thats real blood

[weedpop]

I guess Gilbert Arenas was garbage in 2005-2006 when he averaged 29.3 points 6.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds on the season. Pretty impressive to make 3 all star-teams as a second round pick while playing like garbage the whole time.

Anyway, it doesn't take 5 finals MVPs to know that Hibbert has been playing like garbage these playoffs. You can't blame it entirely on him though, the dynamic of that team is just awful right now. I wish I could get inside those dudes heads/locker room to figure out what the hell has happened to them since January but in the meantime it's kind of fun to just watch them fuck up.

[Ernie McCracken]

Ha what a joke, Arenas had a few good years on a wizards team that didn't get anywhere and yet everybody comes running to his defense.

I really enjoyed watching McGrady in his prime but I don't care how talented he was, not getting past the first round at least ONCE is pathetic.

I never said you have to be a successful player to understand how bad Hibbert is. What I did say was that the those two guys clowning him publicly in the way they did should probably just shut the fuck up because they have some serious laughable qualities on their NBA career reusme.

Hibbert has always sucked. For some reason he garnered a max contract from being a whopping 12 point 8 rebound guy. People should be clowning the Pacers front office for giving him that contract. People should be calling out Paul George who has been up and down in the playoffs. People should call out Vogel not running a good offense. The list goes on. Hibbert is just an easy target because he is SO bad right now.

[bentmode]

you cant blame all of the defensive struggles on Vogel. youve come this far know what you know and running what you have. as a coach you are more likely to run your system to the best of its abilities before scrapping everything and trying something new. not exactly a great time to ditch the entire scheme as you enter the second game of the second round. the players have to execute too. the only player that seems to give a shit on that squad is david west.

the one thing i will give vogel a steaming pile for is not experimenting with different line ups during the regular season. the bottom line is that this happens every year in every sport, some team, usually touted as a preseason favorite, comes out hot and takes a shit at the end of season or falls apart in the postseason.

[BallDontLie]

hahaha what the fuck... no one is running to Arena's defense, but to say he's been "garbage" his entire career is false. He's always running his mouth VIA twatter. That's nothing new. If Hibbert can't handle a little e-flack then he probably doesn't belong in the NBA.


Hibbert is an easy target because he has been playing like garbage in THESE playoffs. His playoff averages last year was something like 17 points and 9 rebounds. Indiana as a whole is an easy target.

[abraham linksys]

gilbert is still cashing those nba checks on the reg.
the pacers only get all this bologna because they're the 1 seed playing like shit and talked all year about the Miami ECF matchup they think will happen.
regardless I think the wizards take game 2. they're playing good basketball lately all around.
OKC takes game 2 at home. the clippers wont shoot lights out again like that.

[Beer Keg Peg Leg]

tracy mcgrady was actually really unlucky with injuries or injuries to key teammates, be it grant hill, yao, whatever. and he actually made it to the finals last year SO NYEHHH

[Big Skatefase]

ahahahahahahahahahaha

"Come on Shaq, you know Victoria's a secret down there" 

You know where Shaq wanted to take that but obviously couldn't

[abraham linksys]

"oh they be double fistin those churros down there'


heat win again at home.
spurs win but it'll be a closer game than last time.

[abraham linksys]

I gotta start giving those spurs more respect but I thought the blazers would put up more of a fight then the mavs.
wizards take game 3 at home in a close game.
okc wins on the road I hope since I hate watching the clippers win.

You're on fire with these predictions.

[@thewilleasley]

Are there really that many clipper haters out there? I'm a fan of both teams and damn near every player on the floor at any given time so this series has been a treat for me I just sit back & enjoy the show. It is funny that the two worst teams in terms of technical fouls are playing each other these niggas WILDIN on like every play lol

my god that was some terrible and boring basketball. the score for both teams was in the 30s going into the 3rd quarter

[EARL***THE***PEARL]

GO SPURS GO!!!!

[gnidraobetaks]

shit got boring after pretty much all the "expected" teams made it through the first round. now im just rooting for whoever is playing against the clippers. and roy hibbert.

[Bubblegum Tate]

GO SPURS GO!!!!

Damn, 3-0 lead now.

Probably OKC and San Antonio in the Western Conference finals. 2012 rematch.

[Beer Keg Peg Leg]

good post tate

[silkyjohnson]

How the fuck did blake griffin get a nose bleed? is he honestly that sensitive to contact?

[weedpop]

Bleeding on command is the new 'snap head back as if you just got sniped to draw ref's attention'. Blake is taking the flop game to a whole new level.

clearly you arent familiar with the antics of professional wrestling. the nba is licensed as a sports entertainment franchise.
