Well, talk about selfishness on the Pacers. Last year Hibbert and West were huge for them in the playoffs. Now they are down in the 3rd to the Hawks, and Hibbert has taken 4 shots total, same for West.

I feel bad for Bird and his Pacers, they were the only legit threat to the Heat coming into the season, and now look pathetic.

The Hawks are a terrible matchup for Hibbert because of Antic drawing Hibbert out to the perimeter.  He averaged 5 points in four games against Atlanta during the regular season.

does management know about this?

Seems to me management should know why the team all of a sudden develops a chemistry problem. The team should have a psychologist.

Get these spoiled brats into therapy or counseling to resolve their emotional issues. This is a multi-million dollar business and you are paid to produce.

If management does not know what is going on in its own house, they should be fired.

Anyway you put it, someone over there is not doing his/her job.

Wow.  If the Hawks pull this out, the playoffs will have kicked off with three lower-seed upsets and potentially four.

Any resident statisticians know if this has ever happened before?

It seems good 3 point shooting has become a prerequisite for success in the league, especially the play-offs.

Can see a guy like McDermott as a top 10 pick, maybe top 8.  He is such a good shooter. 

Also shows the importance of surrounding Rondo with really good shooters. Rondo can find open shooters like nobody's business.

Courtney Lee is a real asset to Memphis.  Good to see him in a better fitting situation.

Also, I just read Memphis has the best record in the league since Gasol came back in mid-January  :o
