any pacer fans on the forums??

I am pretty excited for this year, we are on our way back.

I am from Indiana and have always been a pretty big pacer fan. However, in recent years I have hated the way the team played. I am pretty excited about this years team and think we can be competitive in the Eastern Conference.

hooray!


Pacer's thread


I grew up on Reggie Miller.


The brawl was awesome.


That is all for now.



(I'm cautiously optimistic for this year, but I honestly believe we need another 2 years to get back into contention)

we still have some bad contracts, but if you watched last year, we were in a position to win so many games that we lost in the final 5 minutes of the game without our starting pg who will remain nameless, and jermaine Oneal. now that everyone is here healthy ready to go, i definitely believe the Pacers are going to be the surprise team

Indiana Pacers need Reggie Miller back and being a surprise team in the East isn't that difficult, just finish above .500 and surprise you are in the playoffs.

This is exactly how I feel.

Surprise! We're back in the playoffs because we had a mediocre year.

I really really feel like we're 2 years away from top 4 contention in the east (as long as we keep healthy and don't tank on the basics).



I think a huge boost would be a name player to really rally around. Who knows? Maybe Hibbert will turn into an all-star post player?

One thing is for sure, I am extremely excited that Larry Bird is at the helm. What he did as our coach was nothing short of great and I would rather have him take time and shape the team for a few years then to try and be the best crappy team over and over again.

I'm patiently excited about our future I really wish I was back in Indiana so I could get some season tickets and help get our fans back in the seats.

hopefully we can have a good draft for a change

Pacer fan since the days of Reggie Miller and his great book "I Love Being the Enemy".

my favorite memory of reggie was him giving the choking sign to spike lee

Aren't you a Knicks fan Ifold?

no i am actually a celtics fan, since they wont the title last year, and are the most prestigous franchise

had the 9th pick in a 10 team H2H, 9-cat league...

took granger.

Just finished watching my Pacers 4 dvd box set of best playoff games.... ****, I miss Reggie. To Spike Lee :: grabs own throat :: CHOOOOOOOKE!!!


BUT, I'm excited for next season.

I don't think the draft will matter too much for us (other then Griffin going to whoever the first pick is).



It's a perfect time for Hibbert and Rush to grow as our team builds back up.


2 other things,

What is going to happen with Tinsley?

I heard Dunleavy was coming back in January. Will the injury change him?

i gotta think we are getting rid of dunleavy once he gets back, i prefer both quis, and rush to him. tinsley is interesting i am sure they will trade him as well if there is any interest. i am just hoping the pacers can get a high enough pick to draft ricky rubio

The Pacers summer league team went 5-0 at the Orlando summer league. Roy Hibbert was the MVP of the league avering 20 points and 9 rebounds a game. Hansbrough made first team all summer league along with hibert. I wouldnt get too excited if I were a Pacers fan though, Travis Deiner once scored 34 points in a summer game. Atleast it is a step in the right direction.

Pacers have now won 4 in a row! Mike Dunleavy has also started practicing with the team... great news for the Pacers.

most definitely, now if we can get murph and jeff healthy

Hi.

hello! The Pacers have now won 5 in a row! If we can get healthy, we might win 45 games this year!

thinkin 79

how wrong I was! Injuries have been terrible for this team.

For anyone who watches the Pacers broadcasts on TV.... is Quinn Buckner not the worst annoncer ever?
