I'm trying to decide what my favorite Jim O'Brien is this year.
1) Against the Lakers, O'Brien decided to go ultra small and start Troy Murphy at center. Mind you the Lakers have one of the biggest, most athletic front lines in the league. Andrew Bynum ends up scoring like 16 points in the first quarter. O'Brien left this lineup in for 8 minutes. The Pacers were down by like 18 points after the 1st quarter. It was over.
8 minutes...
2) In a game against the Bucks, the Pacers were down 4 points with no timeouts. TJ Ford gets fouled, behind the 3 point line with 3 seconds to go. Ford knocks down the first two and then it was an obvious, miss the last one and rebound score, situation. What does O'Brien do? He takes the Pacers best rebounder ( Troy Murphy ) out of the game and puts Dahntey Jones in to line up beside Andrew Bogut.... I dont need to tell you how this ended.
Jim O'brien is the most retarded coach ever. And honestly, if we do get the #1 pick next year, I hope they fire Bird too. Cause i dont trust Bird to make the right decision and draft Wall. But we wont get the #1 because for some dumb fucking insane reason, the Pacers are trying to win games. I'm pretty positive Danny Granger faked an injury last night to try to put a stop to this madness.
If the Pacers get anything less then one of the first 2 picks next year, I want the team to move to Seattle or something. I dont want any part of them.
