$$$$$$$$$$$ changes everything

She had the same amount of money when she made her statement that she did when she was leaving that restaurant.

Also, that's quite the boss move. Dude's a national shame right now, biggest story going in the American news cycle, 2 days later, still going to a nice restaurant in LA. He does what he wants!!!

She was only getting a portion of the money when they were married and that is why she was suing this chick because she was messing with her cash.

I am sure he offered to up the ante and give her even more or even a huge lump sum if she played it right. No way she would change her tune like that out of the kindness of her heart. Unless she also realized he was going to lose millions in endorsements and the sale of the team so that made her change the tune even more.

Either way, it comes down to the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

Not according to Dave.

Pacers are done, I wonder if the had been fooling us all along, or if the trades they made really ripped this team apart. Either way I wonder who the new HC will be next season.

It'll never happen, but Larry Bird should be the one being fired for this debacle(assuming the lose this series) , if anyone.

Because?

It's his players.

All I'm hearing is all of the issues that popped up once Evan Turner came to the Pacers. It wasn't Vogel who brought him in, that's Larry Bird's decision.

Fire both or none, my only point is, situations like this with team turmoil always get pinned on the coach and not the GM who should be responsible for the team he put together.

I hear what you are saying but Bird couldnt have known the mess that Turner would bring in bringing him to the team.

I think he could have alleviated it instantly and cut him or something like that which he didnt but he couldnt have foreseen what was coming.

[shel311]

I hear what you are saying but Bird couldnt have known the mess that Turner would bring in bringing him to the team.

My main point is all you're hearing is Vogel is coaching for his job and will likely be fired if they lose, but you know Bird won't. That is my issue. Like I said, fire both or neither, but Vogel getting all the blame for the dysfunctional team BIrd put together is silly.

[Cnasty]

Yea, I agree with you that the coach has nothing to do with this as he is playing the hand dealt to him.

basically 1 move (turner/granger) took them from finals contender to whatever they are now?

these guys seemed to want a lot of 'respect' before actually doing anything.

[shel311]

Again, my point is it shouldn't be solely on Vogel to change the guys who Bird gives him. Bird should share the responsibility.

[Cnasty]

Stop listening to ESPN and Lebby with all the idiotic sports commentary on who should be fired and who shouldnt.

[ajalves]

ok, but we all know that isnt going to happen

Is there an echo in here?

And the hits just keep on rolling for the Pacers.

Report: Paul George's home robbed during Game 5

[Cnasty]

I also heard that audio that they released of the heckler giving him shit right before the half. Solid heckling.

AJ's favorite Bomani had an epic rant yesterday on Lebby's radio show, he was spot on. Here's an article he wrote in 2006 pointing out Sterling's racist ways and how the media didn't seem to care about it.

[Cnasty]

Ill do better and give you the video, 20 second mark

"start playing basketball and stop traveling" (good coaching!) and is "ready to go home in the first round against Atlanta" and "supposed to be an All-Star."

Well if you call basically everyone a racist, eventually you'll hit one!!

fwiw, i know this situation with the housing and whatnot is completely different. Im just saying

[texasfan4444]

Boom! well said AJ. Bomani is the poor mans version of Stephen A. And by poor I mean Honduras minimum wage poor. Dude absolutely gets on my last nerve. Sorry Shell.

That's ok, he still has probably the best take of all the media guys on this situation.

If you or AJ read it, you'd probably agree with that, even if you don't like him.

And I don't like him either. I tolerated him at first, but I was never a fan, but nowadays i don't like him.

[ajalves]

i think he is pretty smart. Im just completely not a fan.

Other ESPN guys that suck
Lupica (probably the worst)
S.A Smith
Sutcliffe
rachel Gomez (i think thats her name)
im sure there are others
