Can somebody tell me in what way the Pacers are a worse basketball team than the Celtics?
I'm having trouble thinking of it right now.
Rebounding? Nope.
Defense? Nope.
Size? Nope.
Composure? Well . . . based on that fourth quarter . . . Nope.
Scoring options? Naw.
Depth? Nope.
Somebody help me out here.
Rondo and Pierce are much better than Collison/Granger. KG's about even with West at his current level of play. Ray is still a better player than George. Hibbert's an advantage over JO, but JO eliminates much of his scoring ability.
Bass is a better player than Hansbrough (gets rebounds, but shoots a terrible %).
George Hill is much better than anything we have at back-up guard. Jeff Foster is better than WIlcox/Stiemsma (although Wilcox is capable of a lot more than he's showing).
No need to overreact.
Edit: Daniels and Dahntay Jones are a wash for me. Pietrus is better than Jones by a fair margin.
