    AP IND-- The Indiana Pacers decided to add some size to their roster, and doing so pushed their roster number to the league-max 15.

     

    Indiana called up 6'11 PF John Ross from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Saturday. Ross has been averaging around 30 PPG and 12 RPG this season in the D-League, and the Pacers think he is worthy of being on their team. He signed a one year, league minimum $473,000 contract.

     

    At 6'11, he will be the tallest power forward currently on their team.

     

    Head coach Frank Vogel said this about the young prospect: "We feel like he can fit in here, and maybe get on the floor every now and then. For now, he will be filling a reserve spot along with Orlando Johnson and Jeff Pendergraph, but injuries do happen, and we need to be prepared. If one of our big men goes down like Roy did, especially in the Playoffs, we will be able to back him up. Our scouts are happy with him, and think he has some potential to be a decent NBA player, so we're taking a flier on him.

     

    There have been many good players out of the D-League, such as Jeremy Lin, Dahntay Jones, Marcin Gortat, Ramon Sessions, and more. The Pacers are hoping they have picked up a young stud that can produce at a decent rate.


  3. I think that's a good idea considering it's not sports all the time, even though for the most part it is :)

     

    Thanks for adding it, posted some threads in them.

     

    Have you found any chat boxes worth adding? I still think it would be really useful to have.


  4. Not to be confused with the NFL version of this. It's basically the same thing, except for NBA. Post a scenario that didn't happen, and the next person replies to it and posts their own scenario.

     

    What if Dwight Howard decided to tough it out and stay in Orlando?

    Hansbrough lifts Pacers to win over Pistons


    GYI0063649605_crop_450x500.jpg?129852193


    AP IND-- The Pacers, led by Tyler Hansbrough, sailed on to another win to push their success to 11-0 while visiting Detroit. Roy Hibbert's status was day-to-day, but did not play. The Pacers looked good in the first half, going into halftime with a seven point lead, but Detroit started to cut away from it, and at one point held the lead in the fourth. The Pacers would fight back and secure the win, however. Indiana is starting to look scary - very scary. With another win, they continue to dominate the NBA, something nobody expected.

    Hansbrough dropped 25 points on Detroit and tallied up a career-high 15 rebounds in the win. Gerald Green also contributed well, scoring 18 points off the bench. Granger scored a little less than usual, but still around average with 18 points. Someone you just have to look at and know they should have done better is David West. West had a horrible game, scoring only four points off of 2-11 shooting. Good thing Hansbrough backed him up well.

    Detroit was led by Rodney Stuckey, who dropped in 23 points, and added 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Stuckey was definitely the go-to-guy in this one, as nobody else could find a real flow to their game. Correy Maggette did nice too, scoring 21 points and tallying up 8 assists.

    Pacers beat Pistons second game in a row


    20120423_ajw_ss1_081_extra_large.jpg


    AP IND-- It was deja-vu for both teams, just two days after their last matchup. The Pacers once again handled the Pistons, this time by a rather big margin. Playing again without Roy Hibbert, they simply dominated the first half, holding an 18 point advantage at halftime. Detroit fought back in the second half, and cut down the lead to single digits a few times, but Indiana was again able to fend them off for a victory. Hansbrough once again scored over 20 points for the third straight game in this one.

    Paul George was the points leader for the Pacers, scoring 23 in their win. Tyler Hansbrough once again played very impressively, scoring 20 points and grabbing 5 rebounds. Granger once again dipped in scoring, only racking up 16 points in their win. D.J. Augustin was the sixth man of the game in this one, scoring 9 points, and getting 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He was in for the majority of the half as Hill shot it 1-9 in the first half, but he came out sharp in the second half and found 11 points, 7 assists, and 4 steals.

    Brandon Knight led the Pistons this time, scoring 28 points, and passed it nicely for 5 assists. Stuckey was right behind him for 18 points. Knight eventually fouled out of the game in the fourth quarter, which put their comeback hopes to shame. Knight led the Pistons to a single digit margin with only minutes remaining, but once he was fouled out their playing level went way down, and they collapsed to a 17 point loss.

    Indiana Narrowly Escapes Defeat, Wins In OT


    x6104.jpg



    AP CLE-- The Pacers continued their dominance, improving to 13-0, the best they've been. It looked like they would slip to their first loss tonight, but they somehow got away with the win. They were down 8 at the half, but they managed to make it a 4 point lead after the third. With only about 20 seconds left, the Pacers had the ball, down one point. Paul George made the split decision to fight to the paint and get a layup, but he was denied. The Pacers quickly fouled Kyrie Irving, who made both free throws. A three point deficit, with about 16 seconds left. Their next possession would be the fate of the game. George Hill quickly swinged it to Danny Granger, who stepped back from C.J. Miles, and drained a three right in his eye. The game was tied up, and the Cavs had 7 seconds to work with. Kyrie Irving tried the runner, but fell short, and we were headed to OT. Judging from the line score, you can see how that played out. The Pacers were on fire, scoring 20-8 against the Cavs, and won by 12.

    Roy Hibbert made his debut back from injury after missing six games, and didn't disappoint. Hibbert racked up 28 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Granger definitely found his A-Game again, scoring 35 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Maybe the best game he's had all season. They would need it though, as he hit the clutch three to let them win the game. Gerald Green also contributed 18 points and 7 rebounds from the bench. David West also found his game tonight, and he would need to. Playing the 1-3-1 zone, West got right to the rebound, getting a season high 18, and adding 14 points.

    For Cleveland, Kyrie Irving and C.J. Miles did most of the work. Miles had 26 points and 6 boards, while Irving had 23 points and 9 assists. Irving would foul out late in the game however. Dion Waiters did decent in this game, hitting 2 threes and finding 15 points.

    Hibbert, Pacers, Improve to 14-0


    Roy-Hibbert-10_14.jpg


    AP IND-- The Pacers swept all of their division rivals this week, improving to 14-0 on the season. They barely did, at least. They were down by 9 at the half, but fought back, scoring 68 points in the second half to win 117-111. They found their first lead off a Gerald Green dunk in the third quarter, and they built from there.

    Roy Hibbert. That's all that needs to be said about this game. He crushed the Bulls defense, scoring 28 points, and nearing a triple-double with 12 rebounds and 9 blocks. Aren't they glad to have him back. Green was second in scoring, with 21 points. Green played most of the second half, as George couldn't find his shot. Granger also contributed 20 points, while Hill had 16.

    For the Bulls, they needed a lot more D-Rose. Rose fouled out in the fourth with 15 points and 12 assists, but shot it 7-17. Nate Robinson was able to step up and score 20 in presence of Rose, but it wasn't enough as they would lose. Boozer had 20 points and 11 rebounds, but couldn't get anything big going as he got blocked 6 times by Roy Hibbert.

  6. Ready for my Pacers to play the Spurs tonight! Should be a good one. Hopefully Paul George and Roy Hibbert can continue off of their great game (George had 37 and a record of 9 threes vs NO, Hibbert had his first triple-dub with 12 blocks)
