Game 62 Preview & Thread: Pacers at Nuggets (7pm MST)
Indiana Pacers at Denver Nuggets, Mar 5, 2010 7:00 PM MST
The NBA's version of "The Whitest Kids U' Know," the Indiana Pacers, make their lone appearance at Pepsi Center on Friday night.
Before waiving Travis Diener three days ago, six of the Pacers 15 players were white. I think it's safe to say that Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird has overreacted to the Ron Artest / Stephen Jackson / Jamaal Tinsley / Marquis Daniels era of a few seasons past (hey, that sounds like a squad Mark Warkentien would assemble!) during which we saw the biggest brawl in NBA history and the infamous "Club Rio" incident. Becase last I checked, fielding an NBA team post-1960 that's comprised of 40% white American Stiffs is not advisable.
As noted by the Washington Post's Michael Wilbon a couple years ago, white American players in the NBA have been evaporating at a rate similar to black Americans in Major League Baseball. In fact, when David Lee made an All-Star appearance this season it was the first time the NBA's mid-season party had had a white American participant since Brad Miller's 2004 appearance. And yet the Pacers have been hell bent on reversing this trend all by themselves. The results? After missing the playoffs by three games in the Eastern Conference (a conference in which the eighth seed routinely has a sub-.500 record), they're on "Pace" (pardon the pun) to win about 27 games this season.
In other words, Bird's multi-year attempt to field an NBA team with shoddy duplicates of himself has been an abject failure. Now we know why people look back at the Donnie Walsh era in Indianapolis with such fondness, despite appearing in just one NBA Finals and hiring Isiah Thomas as head coach during Walsh's nearly 20 year reign over the franchise. (I don't want to pick on Walsh, by the way. The former Nuggets assistant and head coach did a great job keeping small market Indiana competitive and remains one of the classiest figures in the NBA. And he eventually fired Isiah...twice.)
Where was I? Oh, right. The Pacers are garbage. Absolute bottom-feeding NBA garbage. They're chock-full with Stiffs and making matters worse, they're expensive Stiffs who are on the payroll for next season. Further proof that hiring a former Celtic legend from the 1980s as your GM might not be the best idea in world. Just ask Minnesota Timberwolves fans. (And yes, Danny Ainge has done a good job in Boston but he lucked into Kevin Garnett courtesy of his friend and former teammate Kevin McHale. Lest we forget that Ainge essentially traded the right to draft Brandon Roy for Sebastian Telfair before the KG deal landed in his lap.)
When we last watched the Pacers play our Nuggets, the Nuggets walloped them 111-93 at Indianapolis in the fourth game of the season. Those were silly old times when Anthony Carter started (no joke), J.R. Smith was suspended and Renaldo Balkman actually got some garbage time minutes. The only question Nuggets fans should be concerned about entering Friday night's contest with the Pacers is whether or not to make LoDo plans for 9pm or 9:30, because this game will be over by the mid-point of the third quarter.
SCOUTING THE PACERS...
Pacers Stiffs
-Tyler Hansbrough: It's tough to blame Bird for drafting an NCAA Champion who won the Naismith and Wooden Awards 13th overall in the NBA Draft, but Hansbrough has turned out to be another Adam Morrison-type player: great in college where the best players no longer play past one season, not so great in the NBA. In fairness to Hansbrough, he's been hurt. But when he has played, 36% shooting isn't going to cut it in the NBA.
-Mike Dunleavy, Jr: Speaking of hurt, white and bad shooting...ladies and gentlemen, I present Mike Dunleavy, Jr! Dunleavy's 10.5 ppg on 40.1% shooting (29.9% from three-point range) is even more painful if you consider he's making $9.8 million this season...and will make $10.6 million next season.
-Jeff Foster: Foster belongs on this list for teasing Nuggets fans all season with the news that he might be a Denver Stiff instead of a Pacers Stiff. Not only did Foster never come to Denver (a move I was all for, by the way), but he called his season quits early due to back surgery.
Pacers Non-Stiffs
-Danny Granger: Thanks to an assortment of injuries and being asked to carry this awful team, Granger's production is down this season. But with the exception of an off-night against the Lakers this week, Granger has gotten his groove back over the past 10 or so games.
-Troy Murphy: I've always liked Murphy's game. He can score inside or out, hit the three and is a great rebounder. It's a shame that Murphy's talents are being wasted in a market that's goes largely unnoticed by the media that covers the NBA.
-Roy Hibbert: Hibbert is having a fine sophomore season for a guy drafted 17th overall in 2008. Unlike his fragile teammates, Hibbert has appeared in all 61 of the Pacers games and is averaging a respectable 10.9 ppg, 5.8 rpg and 1.7 bpg in just 23 minutes of playing time per night. In fact, when Hibbert was getting starters minutes earlier in the season, his contribution was even more impressive.

easy win
watchout for granger and box out murphy and we’ll be fine. heck, just give AC 40 mins to give chauncey a rest ;)
another overpaid player that's on their roster next year
"I know the game of basketball is one-on-one (oriented), but the pain of beating a defense by the pass — it confuses and frustrates the defense more than just going by a guy one-on-one." George Karl
Doesn't Utah also field a lot of white players?
Are we allowed to use “field” as a verb when talking about basketball?
Poor Tyler Hansbrough. I see him as the sort of player that will, maybe, have a decent career hitting jump shots coming off the bench. But mostly I see him selling used cars in North Carolina somewhere and shagging local girls based on his once stellar college basketball career.
Eventually there will be a debate in this thread about the racial overtones in Andrew’s initial post. Do white Americans really suck that much at basketball, or are they just not given the encouragement? Or? To me it is all very interesting. Also very tricky to talk about for a lot of obvious reasons.
I predict another 25+ points win for the Nuggets tonight. And I think Melo will come out firing again. You know he is sore about the dip in his scoring average. I say he gets 37.
Is Tyler’s teammate Ty Lawson going to be able to play tonight?

not so fast
big mistake for denver to take indy for granted. they played in asia in the preseason. they know each other very well. pacers have a perimeter game and hibbert inside. dahntey jones will be getting down and dirty with melo. nuggets need their best effort at all times. anything less and it will be a very BAD loss.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
If Jones does guard melo then I expect him to get 3 quick fouls while melo posts him up for 15 pts in the 1st. Jones is way too small to keep up with melo.
I do agree that the nuggets must stay focused and hopefully they will be able to play balkman and petro in the 4th again.

Swats.
Seriously Andrew?
Given this team’s struggles against bottom feeders I am a tad bit worried. They tend to waltz into games assured of a victory, then limp off of the court after a 4th quarter collapse. White, black, purple, or green stiffs are stiffs, and the Nuggets have trouble with stiffs.
Wow.
Journalism at its worst. Probably racist but definitely off topic and a waste of column space.
Andrew, you should stick to the self-promotion and star fucking and let Nate do the reporting.
Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
Racist?
I was just calling a bunch of white Stiffs white Stiffs. Didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to do that…

For what it's worth...
I think Andrew is allowed to write blogs and bring up touchy subjects and Mickey D is allowed to express his distaste for the subject matter.
I thought our nation had the collective discussion about race and basketball when “White Men Can’t Jump” was out in theaters.
Member: 10-man rotation for deep playoff push advocacy group
Agreed
White men can’t jump cleared up all of those nagging questions i had about race. I never thought Wesley Snipes could impact my life so very much. And to Woody Haroldson I’m forver indebted.
B.S.
Of course you’ll be able to find stuff that is MORE racist. That’s a terrible argument. Even Wilbon had to write a retraction of sorts for his column and his column was a very real and interesting look into racial demographics in sports. Yours is a low brow knock on a team that has more white players than you think will allow them to be successful. How is that not racist?
Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
Clearly someone doesn’t realize there’s a difference between using stereotypes and being racist… Andrew was saying that the majority of white players out there suck and the Pacers having lots of them// well you get the idea, that’s stereotyping white players as being being racist
by InboundingLobPass on Mar 5, 2010 8:17 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
that’s stereotyping white players as being shitty ball players NOT being racist
Damn phone keyboard
by InboundingLobPass on Mar 5, 2010 8:18 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
Definition of racism
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
or
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
A white man saying white men can’t play ball does not constitute either of these definitions. And as a fellow white man I must say I am in no way offended.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
HEY! WTF!!!!
We are NOT supposed to talk about race in the NBA! Next thing you know people will be claiming the Stern has a bias toward LA.
Cut out the shit!
Be professional
My view of the Pacers is not as whitewashed as Andrews, but this team has the 3rd worst offense in the league and they are playing poorly right now. I won’t be able to catch this game but I hope we are past the point of worrying if they can get up for a game like this, at home no less. They just need to do their business respectfully and try not to be stupid and AC the game away or let Granger score 50. I wouldn’t mind seeing Balkman get in again
LAWL
“AC the game away”
That’s classic! LoL

"It's tough to blame Bird for drafting an NCAA Champion who won the Naismith and Wooden Awards"

Let’s compare:
Joey Graham

Malik Allen


We need Malik off the bench so that he has the energy to clinch the taco spot…of course, by my prediction we won’t get tacos. But if Malik plays off the bench the score will be 101-92, with a Malik Allen 20-footer from the wing clinching it.

the thunder game was good but the ones before…. i think i’m coming out of my bomb shelter for this one. go go nuggets! don’t they need every bit of that against the mavs..
I'm scared
I say 80-79.
Jim O’Brien has engineered an offensive system that is comprised of 85% Granger, 10% Murphy, and 5% whichever sucker accidentally makes a shot. However, the Nuggets will underestimate the Pacers…

What, you don't want to watch a team missing its best player play a ridiculously old team?

Actually, O'Neal saved it by taking the charge
Evidently he’s taken 19 charges this season, which is like top 10 in the league.

On Kmart's injury (partial patella tear)
http://www.blazersedge.com/2009/12/8/1190861/patella-injuries-in-nba-history
Scroll down to the “Torn or partially torn patellar tendon: A much more severe injury.” section. It’s gruesome. Every single guy on that list who suffered a partially torn patella tendon…missed the remainders of their seasons. And all of them struggled to return to form following the injury.
Go get surgery, KMart. We need you this year, but not at the expense of next year.
I’d guess KMart is done for the rest of the season. And if that’s the case…well, so are the Nuggets.
At least Joey Graham can be trusted
I don’t know what I’d do if Malik Allen became the starter. I feel bad for Martin though. He’s having a career year.
It's not like Stan shares all the blame for not getting another Big
GMK and his EIGHT man rotation is equally at fault
martin did not play an unusual amount of minutes per game this year.

Well, if we weren't worried about it before, now's the time
Losing K-Mart is going to hurt, and it’s going to hurt us bad.
What makes things worse is the fact that Bird has tentinitis in his right knee. I was reading up on Denver Post, and it said that when he gets up in the morning, he can barely walk. What does that tell you?
