Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Simmons isn't a LAC fan, he has season tickets because he lives there and despises the Lakers. He is a BOS fan.
doesn't that basically define the term "bias"?

lol Bill Simmons just suggested LeBron James might go to the Clippers next offseason. Bias much?
Not Bill Simmons!!!!

I wish he would just give up talking about Boston sports plus the Clippers.
He said that LAC was the best situation for LeBron. Lots of young talent, big market, west coast weather, etc. It won't happen, but it would be interesting to say the least. He isn't going to the Knicks.
Of course he's not going to the Knicks.

Lots of young talent? Two players is lots of young talent? He needs to go where there is veteran talent that knows how to win in the playoffs. To be honest, I think Cleveland is currently as good of a situation for him as possible. He's got good complimentary pieces and they play pretty good team defense.
By lots I meant quality not quantity. CLE doesn't have anyone else who can score, so unless they can hold playoff teams under 90, they aren't going to win.

I really like my chances in the fantasy basketball league.....I'm probably no better than middle of the pack in scoring, but I'm full of PGs and PF/Cs.

PG Deron Williams
PG/SG Brandon Roy
G Jose Calderon
SF Grant Hill
PF/C Troy Murphy
PF/C Mehmet Okur
C Andris Biedrins
C Zach Randolph
PG Chris Duhon
C Andrew Bogut
SF/PF Corey Maggette
SG/SF Luol Deng
PF/C Antonio McDyess

Deng could have a good comeback year with Chucker........I mean Ben Gordon gone. McDyess should get a lot of early season minutes since SA will probably try to rest Duncan a lot. Duhon playing in the uptempo D'Antoni offense was pretty good last year in his first year in the system.

I can see how you think it might, but he is just a huge NBA guy that lives in a city of his most hated team and the worst franchise in the NBA. Which player's jersey was he wearing? You should read some of his archives about LAC, you will quickly understand that he is the farthest thing from a true LAC fan.......he mostly likes to rip their owner and Dunleavy.

You'll definitely be the team to beat in assists. With the ball in those guys' hands so much, TOs may become a concern. Points will be hard to come by. Not a whole lot of 3 pt shooting, you'll need Randolph to have a huge year. You'll be pretty bad in blocks and steals.

We'll see, its hard to project, especially in a 10 team league. Lots of good teams.

no i know he isn't the biggest LAC fan ever, but he despises the lakers, hence the bias. he'd love to throw it in the Lakers' fans face that they have the second most famous man in the city of LA*

Screw it, I know he is out alteast another 2 months but I'm going to stash Dunleavy on my bench for a late season push. IND has played a pretty high pace the last few seasons........and it's not like I have any confidence in Maggettee after last season....the guy gets a hangnail in pregame and won't play.

Yeah, there are a few categories I will struggle in.....but you don't have to be the top team in each category......plus if I build an early lead in assists I might be able to trade Williams/Duhon/Calderon for a shot blocking C/PF......I'm pretty active and I'll figure out my weak spots fairly quickly.

that's probably a good move, maggette isn't going anywhere soon. however, being familiar with dunleavy's situation (having gone through it at least 4 times myself), his career doing anything productive is basically over, unless he defies some crazy odds.

Oh you definitely can't win every category, but being in the bottom 3 in a few categories can really hurt.

That's why Howard is such a risk in roto leagues, you can pretty much say goodbye to TOs and FT%.

In categories like STL/BLK, there are a few teams that dominate and then a bunch of guys in the middle.......you know some guys won't really pay attention so they could waste a bunch of starts on guys who are injured. I will definitely get the most out of my lineups.......I'm not worried about it. I'll finish in the top 5 for sure.

Im not saying he will be good or bad, im just interested in seeing how he does cause there has never been a player like this. Someone who put up those kind of numbers with that kind of skill set. I hope he does well being a Pacers fan.
