Thread was long overdue...Here you guys go...You can dream about Roy all you want in one thread instead of making multiple threads daily to hate on one guy...

Lets constantly hate on one guy for what he doesn't do well instead of focusing on what he does do well for a lumbering 7'2 guy has improved 10 fold since college, like cover for EVERYONE on defense which constantly leaves him out of position for defensive rebounds but dont let the logic get to you too much....This is why he's so much better on the offensive boards than defensive...Lets see, he can hit the jumpshot consistently out to 18 feet. Good free throw shooter unlike most guys his size...Good passer...Shoot hooks with either hand...decent footwork for a big, lumbering dude with a weak lower body...Great timing, affects all shots...Such a good rim defender he has haters crying about "verticality" everytime somebody attempts a shot at the rim...

#1 Reason the Pacers have a "statisically" historically great defense this year. You even have people taking credit away from PG's defense because he has Roy behind him and in the same breath call Roy garbage. Great in the community, great attitude, great teammate..Always backing up teammates, always encouraging teammates. But ish hates him because they hate Miami and Lebron so much that they only notice or even watch when he plays them and acts like he hasn't done anything against any other team in the history of the league besides Miami.

For the record Roy, you're not perfect...I hate the fact that you fall all the time but then I realize your lower body is very weak and you are very tall and lumbering...the bigger they are, the harder they fall...Also, you make me sick when don't get the ball high and you bring it down so smaller players can get their hands on the ball...I also don't like the fact that you get pushed off the block so far but again, you're not the strongest guy...Also, stop starting 0-2 and forcing PG and Lance to start shot jacking and taking you out of the game:rolleyes: Also, would it hurt to grab a couple more rebounds per game?

See, I can be objective but then again, I'm also a grown up..

Welcome to ish, where if you aren't prime Shaq you suck....According to ish, Brook Lopez and Lebron are in the same class the way folks hate on Lebron and Durant on here...Roy's nowhere near the class and receives almost the same amount of hate on Ish...Hey Roy, how do you feel about that?

Didn't read, but,

the guy averages 11/7 on 46%? Pathetic. Much overrated.

Why's he such a weak rebounder? No mobility, slow feet, bad center of gravity...

Didn't read. But the only reason he's any good is because the league allows him to blatantly foul players on defense.

Allow me to start.

Garbage Offense:

11 points per game on .458 % shooting.

This is some of the the worst offensive production from any big man in the NBA. Absolutely deplorable for a 7'2 center. Roy Hibbert sympathizers will make excuses and say it is because of his team mates chucking, but the truth is that is not the case. His teammates chuck becuase he sucks. He doesnt have the energy or the offensive capability to score on anyone but the Heat. Which make average centers (Roy Hibbert) into Gods.

Did you see that pitiful performance he gave on Udonis Haslem a few games ago? That is the reason he doesnt get the ball. He ****ing sucks. Haslem is a good 6 inches shorter than Hibbert. Maybe more. Haslem is by no means a good post defender.


Overrated Defense:
Roy Hibbert has long arms which makes him a good shot blocker and contester, but most of the time he is simply ineffective at taking advantage of it. The Pacers team defense is far more important than Hibbert. Paul George is a good one on one defender and David West is an absolute beast at defending the screens. Notice they also excel in three point defense.

Roy Hibbert was overrated because the refs allowed him to foul and not get called for it. His vertaclity is rarely vertical or on time.

Vs the Heat here are three times Lebron attacked Hibbert

1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BG2hsiZiQh4

Lebron scores despite Hibbert moving to reach him. Any other play this would have been an and one.

2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UUIm7r6WPFw

Obvious offense foul on Lebron. However Hibbert the 7'2 giant is holding his face even though he got hit near the mouth area and then when they try to bring him up he flops to the ground and flops to sell it. He later passes the concussion test, (He was hit in the mouth and his tongue was cut) so probably didnt need it.

Side Point: Roy Hibbert is a flopper and falls down for no reason on multile occasion. Disgusting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB3Oer8Yy4Y
280 pounds :facepalm

3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NiUBs_K5gew

Hibbert is late. In the restricted area. And not straight up. Obvious foul is obvious, but the refs let it go. Bad defense gets rewarded because of a reputation.

Al Jefferson destroying Roy Hibbert:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpJ1bpOJ9Qg


Rebounding:

Hibbert is a terrible rebounder. There is no way around it. His only rebounding ability is his size. He isnt mobile, a high jumper, or have a good feel for the bounce. I'll concede he helps alot of dense and is out of position, but that excuse isnt given to any other center who does the same.

Energy

Hibbert has asthma, or something of that nature and cant play for long periods of time. So not only does he not give 100% effort, he isnt in the game for long stretches. This is more a physical limitation so I wont hate on him for that, but it brings me to my conclusion..

Conclusion
Roy Hibbert is an overrated ref created scrub of a 7'2 big man that is definitely overpaid and unworthy of an all star slot or all NBA team.
List of centers better than Roy Hibbert:
Dwight
Noah
AL Jefferson

Imagine Al Jefferson if he had the ref created Hibbert defense. Oh my god....

I'm not a hater. I'm just pointing out the fact that it's embarrassing for a defensive minded 7'2'' big man to grab 4-5 rebounds per game(30+ MPG) on a constant basis. An All-Star doesn't play that way! Period.

I've been saying this for years now. ROY HIBBERT IS NOTHING MORE THAN LUC LONGLEY.

Same type of players. Same style. Nifty around the basket, nice FT shooters, excellent jump shots. Hibbert is the better shotblocker, Longley is a better man defender.

:applause:

I've been saying this for months. People can't have it both ways, no matter how badly they want to discredit Hibbert and George. Just in a recent thread (past couple weeks), there were ******s giving 80%-90% to Vogel and non-Hibbert/George players. ****ing ridiculous.

Face it, either you have to credit one, or the other. Really, you should give both guys their due.

Roy Hibbert is not even worthy of having a hate thread.

He's a ref created defensive great.

Before the playoffs last year,he was averaging 4 fouls a game and was Always called for his "verticality",but all of a sudden in the playoffs and now he improved 20 fold and barely fouls Bullsht

The Literal only reason Hibbert is even considered good is bc of his defense which was created and manipulated by the refs and Vogel and Pacers with his verticality.

It's clear as day the NBA wants to build a rival in the East to the Heat and theyre doing whatever it takes to do it.
Chicago got away with hard fouls and playing extremely physical which wouldve been fouls for any other team.Asik got his own kind of Hibbert Rule.

And now same dam thing with Ind only with Hibbert its tenfold.


Hibbert is at best a very average player and defender who became an elite defender due to Literally Being allowed to play Horizontal and smack people in the face and drape his arms all over peoples neck,shoulders,head without called for a foul if ever.

Hell,Andrea Bargnani Could be A Great Defender if he was allowed to play defense like Hibbert.
Hasheem Fn Thabeet would be Manute Bol levels of Blocks and Prime Alonzo D with Hibberts way of being officiated.

Ive seen centers from other teams do the Literal
exact same thing Hibbert did and it was called as a foul Every Time in games against Pacers no less.


Hibbert can fck off.

The whole league and every fan can see Hibbert is literally allowed to maul players using the basis of "Verticality" in Hibberts case Horizontally called the Hibbert Rule.

No offense OP, but didn't read. Only because, I'm still awaiting your reply to my previous take on Hibbert in the thread highlighting his 4.4 rebounds per game in March:



I'd like to know as well.

He'd also tell you that his rebounding sucks because he's boxing out players for others to get the rebound, which isn't entirely erroneous in assessment, but doesn't excuse his poor defensive rebounding. As if boxing out doesn't occur with all 7 footers in the history of the game. There's no reason why someone at 7'2, hailed by Pacers fans as the DPOY, should be producing a mere 7 rebounds a game, and an embarrassing 4 rebounds per game for an entire month.

If Hibbert wasn't heralded as a premier big man, I doubt he'd receive such heightened criticism. But, he's an All-Star, getting paid like a star. No matter which way you cut it, no matter how passionately one argues that his impact travels deeper than the stat-sheet, there is much to be discussed about an All Star producing 11 and 7 for that season; especially when Al Jefferson is putting up 25 and 10 every other night and is withheld from that accolade.

It either points to his own incompetence, the incompetence of his coaching staff and their offensive gameplan, or the incompetence of George, Stephenson, and George "The Weakest Link" Hill for not involving him in the game.

So it's like, do you really think he's an All Star at 11/7 as a 7'2 center? Shooting such a low FG% (that's nearly comparable to an All Star guard shooting 39-40% from the field)? Yes his defensive presence is noted, but Asik was a tremendous defensive presence last season, averaging much more rebounds and I'm sure near the same amount of points, and no one thought he was anywhere near an All Star.

I think that's the underlying sentiment being addressed with his recent criticism from NBA fans and basketball minds.

Glad most of the gang is here.."If you build it, they will come"...Also, no need to apologize for not reading...Here at ish, we make up our minds based on box scores and follow behind what everyone else says like a bunch of monkeys...so I don't ever expect anyone to read anything that makes sense...

Marc Gasol - 14ppg, 7rbg, 47% pretty good defense
Roy Hibbert - 11ppg, 7rbg, 46%, anchoring the best defense in the NBA, in the running for DPOY...But Marc is so much better than Roy...

And since nobody wanted to do any research, guess I had to do it for you..
Some of Roy's shooting games
2-5
3-8
3-8
1-4
2-5
2-7
3-8
2-7
4-9
3-8
2-8
2-6
2-5
2-8
3-7
2-5
3-8
2-5
3-8

All low percentages on a low number of shots..If many of your games look like this, your overall FG% will be low but if you're not watching the games, then you don't know the context .Most of these games, the other players mainly PG and Lance will start hoisting jump shots. Not sure how good you guys are at math but 2-5 = 40%. 3-8 = 38%, 2-8 = 25%...These are not good shooting numbers but just because a player starts out shooting poorly, does not mean you should completely go away from for the rest of the game..and despite this fact, Roy STILL does his job on defense, doesn't pout like other big men because he's not getting the ball...

When they stick with him, he can have games of
9-14 against Toronto(not Miami)
8-10 against Milwaukee(not Miami)
7-12 against Philly(not Miami), 27pts, 13reb, 6 blocks...13-16 from the foul line..good think Roy can shoot free throws...
8-16 against the Clippers(not Miami)
10-15 against Miami(according to ISH, his games against Miami don't count)
8-13 against Cleveland(not Miami)
9-17 against Phoenix(not Miami) 26pts, 8-11 from the foul line
10-16 against Milwaukee(not Miami) 24pts, 12reb
8-10 against the Knicks(this is the game after he called out PG and Lance for gunning, dominated in the 3rd although the Pacers still lost)

On top of that, he has games of
16reb, 7blocks
10reb, 7blocks
10reb, 5blocks
24pts, 10reb, 8blocks
numerous other games between 4-6 blocks which is where his true value is...defense...but don't let logic stop you from making a bunch of bs in place of actually watching the team play.

Oh yeah, he also has bad asthma which makes it even better that he is able to play the amount of minutes that he plays being a big guy...Ive had bad asthmatic bronchitis my entire life and I also played ball and it severely limited my minutes...Some days are better than others...Some environments are better than others....


He shot 3-10 in a win against Chicago in which he started out 0-3 but the team kept feeding him and he ended up 6-6 from the line and got Chicago in foul trouble...But then again, you wouldn't know any of these from watching box scores..

Roy is not a world beater by any means and he is a defense first, throwback center who challenges shots, not like most big men of today are sitting up taking charges...Could you imagine Ewing, David Robinson, Mutombo, hell even Manute Bol taking charges? lol...He's probably barely a top 5 center in the league but to act like he doesn't do his job and play his role to best of his abilities is ignorant and I've come to expect that from the children of ish who claim to be grown men...

Hey Bynum...what do you think of Roy?

I think that's the underlying sentiment being addressed with his recent criticism from NBA fans and basketball minds.
So, he's the first guy to make an all-star team undeservedly that he gets THIS much hate? Hell, you could argue his defense alone makes him an all-star and the effect he has when he's on the court vs. when he's off the court..Isn't this what everyone says about the Miami series last year? When Roy was on the court, the Pacers were up, when he was off the court, Miami did what they want on offense...So we needed a backup center supposedly and we went after Bynum....If Roy was in at the end of game 1 Pacers would've won, blah, blah. He's so garbage that the main reason Miami won is because the Pacers bench was horrible ESPECIALLY when Roy was off the court...this according to ISH and ISH is full of hypocrites..As far as I'm concerned, we lost because of turnovers...

No, I don't actually think that makes him an all-star but who cares about the all-star team? Kobe was voted in this year, lol...I thought we all knew the all-star was a joke...They probably just picked Roy because they needed a center..so what? Brad Miller and Dale Davis, and Jamal Magloire have made all-star teams before too...Who cares? Why would you blame Roy for that? Blame the coaches or fans who voted him in..:confusedshrug:

Marc Gasol shoots 1% higher..If he's not held to the same standard, then all the talk about Roy should stop because Gasol doesn't shoot much better...and neither one of them is not the same as a guard shooting 40% taking 20 shots per game and making 8 of them..effectively gunning his team out of the game.....that is NOT the same...

Hell, Roy averages 2.6 off reb per game and the last 2 years he's averaged around 3.6 off reb per game...Many times I see him miss, he's missing close shots(I do hate how many layups he misses) but he gets his own rebound, kicks it back out or gets fouled...Now, I didnt think I really had to explain the difference between him and Gasol shooting a low % vs. a gunning guard like say Kyrie Irving...Quick, who has a bigger, more positive impact on the game, Roy or Kyrie? Take Kyrie off the Cavs, let Jack or whoever start and put Roy at center...I promise their team improves just because of defense alone..I love Kyrie but he's not efficient, doesn't play defense and doesn't get his team involved...Yet, somebody like him is glorified in today's NBA and defensive minded Center is sh*tted on...:confusedshrug:

Roy, stop missing bunnies!!! Hey, nice 17 foot jump shot Roy...Nice block Roy!!!! The ebbs and flows of watching Roy Hibbert....

One question....Should be simple...If he is so bad, is not worthy of explanations, is not worthy of ISH message board time...Then why do certain posters on this forum like Navy, Kyrie, Dr. Ice, Freeman, too many others to name stay constantly talking sh*t about the guy, so much so to the point where OTHER people are actually making threads about him, NOT ME. This is the first thread I made about him after watching him get sh*tted on for MONTHS.

This is like an ish urban legend at this point...ISH just takes certain occurrences and just RUNS with them...I watch the games and just because his hands aren't straight up in the air, that doesn't mean he's FOULING anybody...His body is straight and his arms may come forward a bit and you have people talking about his arms, even though they may not even come down on the offensive player and ignoring the fact that he DOES jump straight up most of the time...Hell guys are jumping into HIM...

People rarely EVER get shots off at the rim, or easy layups when Roy is in the game...his defensive impact is completely worthy of whatever accolades he gets...His offense is a bonus...

Today's NBA is just soft...thats all...Everybody expects to just bowl into the paint and get calls...

This is like an ish urban legend at this point...ISH just takes certain occurrences and just RUNS with them...I watch the games and just because his hands aren't straight up in the air, that doesn't mean he's FOULING anybody...His body is straight and his arms may come forward a bit and you have people talking about his arms, even though they may not even come down on the offensive player and ignoring the fact that he DOES jump straight up most of the time...Hell guys are jumping into HIM...

People rarely EVER get shots off at the rim, or easy layups when Roy is in the game...his defensive impact is completely worthy of whatever accolades he gets...His offense is a bonus...

Today's NBA is just soft...thats all...Everybody expects to just bowl into the paint and get calls...
Then why is it a foul on anyone else who does it? If it's being called fairly then it's not for everyone.

But that's usually always a foul, except for with Hibbert.
But should it be a foul just because your arms aren't straight up? Don't you actually have to make contact with the player? Roy is 7'2 and usually much taller than whoever is attempting to score on him...When he raises his arms, do you know how much he would have to bring his arms down to actually hit the dude on the top of the head? He's even taller when he jumps and raises his arms, he'd have to be gumby to be able to bring his arms back down that low...He bends his arms and his arms are actually hanging over player's heads, lol...Thats how tall the dude is...:confusedshrug:

They should call it the same for all players, I agree...

Please explain...I see where your issue is but I don't think Roy has a ton of potential and I never thought he did...Maybe its because I never expected him to amount to much when we drafted him but a defender...Turns out he's become an excellent defender. I never thought he had the physical tools or the coordination to develop into much more than what he was at Georgetown...He's pretty much the same player, except he was a much better rebounder in college but as I've explained before, he helps much more on defense in the NBA, he's not going to get those rebounds...He's not agile enough to try to block a shot, recover and get the rebound so many times, he'll just turn and box somebody out...Thats why you have Lance and PG average so many rebounds...Its not because they are great rebounders..I think Lance is a good rebounder, I think PG gets rebounds mainly because sometimes he's at the 2 and he's taller than his matchup and he'll get those rebounds...

I dont know if you noticed this but the League Hates Miami but loves their business.
The Heat are 17th in FTA with LJ,Wade,Bosh,Allen
and for all the talks of flopping,ref helping
theyre 17th hmm.
The Heat in Last Years Finals had the Least Amount of FTA in History.

Lebron is literally mauled without a call.
Teams are allowed to play extremely phsyically against the Heat and what would be a flagrant for other teams against Miami oh just a common foul.


Mavs during 2011,Dirk was a Free Throw Parade and tge Miami attention was constantly negative when talked about,the Bulls were allowed to play way more physical than any other team,DRose was handed MVP,
2012,Pacers get the Hibbert Rule and get to play Chicago style from then on
PG was hyped as MVP just like DRose

Fot the League,For them its a better story when the Heat lose than win
The media feeds off of hating on the Heat and since Big 3,manufactured rivalries and stars have been built to go against LeBron&Heat.

While it seems the league favors Miami bc theyre always the headline,
its wrong.People love to see the Heat lose
Its like Floyd Mayweather,there are people who see his greatness and are fans but for the most part the majority want to see him lose.

Valanciunas: 11ppg 8.6rpg 0.9bpg 53.1%fg 75.7%ft on 28.1mpg (22 double doubles)


Steals and assists aren't that important for 2 centers that aren't the focal point of where their teams assists come from. Both average just about the same amount of free throw attempts. Roy takes about 1 more shot than Jonas and plays about 2 more minutes. Jonas is the better scorer and rebounder, while Roy is the better rim protector and defender.

"Hate" is such an overused word to discredit people's opinions.
Don't know where you've been but this is exactly what was going on LONG before I ever thought of this thread...This thread was inspired by THOSE threads...People been trashing PG too but its not anywhere near the level of Hibbert which is why I didn't feel the need to make one for PG....There's FIVE threads on the first page dedicated to Roy Hibbert, lol.

I explain EVERYTHING. I don't just see criticism and just decide to say someone is hating...I see a PATTERN and THEN I comment on the hate. Some people break down basketball wise why they think he sucks. And I respect that and as you can see, have agreed with a lot of it. But nobody's criticized him OR PG or the PACERS more than ME. NOBODY. And everyone in this thread knows that.

He DOES box out his man which DOES help Lance and PG grab a few more rebounds...Does that mean, he would be a monster on the boards? Of course not. If he were, he wouldn't need to box out his man in the first place so somebody else could get it. Even if he wasn't doing that, he still probably wouldn't average more rebounds...HE'S NOT A GOOD DEFENSIVE REBOUNDER..HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID THAT. He's good OFFENSIVE REBOUNDER, NOT A GOOD DEFENSIVE REBOUNDER...I assume thats clear enough...

He pissed me off calling out Lance and others when he's playing like sh*t. He's pissing me off now. But guess what, he's still a great defender, he's still the main reason our defense has been historically great(statistics wise) and he still may win DPOY. So at the end, I guess he wins..He's almost living rent free in your heads and he's not 1/10 the player that Lebron is...Yet he's so sad, he warrants 5 topics about him...Apparently he stays on your minds...He doesn't stay on mine because he's played like sh*t anyway. I focus on the entire team, not one player....especially one will probably win DPOY so if everyone stopped expecting him to be prime Shaq on offense, he's not even Mozgof on offense right now...Just let him do what he does best, play defense...He should focus on that, give West the low post touches....Thats how I've felt for the longest..Give Roy some touches to keep him happy, but he can't carry anybody on offense, lol... Its like hating on Kyle Korver because he can't do anything but shoot...like anyone expects him to be able to do anything but shoot...Why you guys expect Roy to be anything more than what he is makes YOU the dumbass.(not you Seba, just in general)..Not him:confusedshrug:
And since obviously you guys don't understand Hibbert's most important role....
Center

Hibbert
First Team: Roy Hibbert, Indiana Pacers (Defensive Player of the Year)


There are four centers who merit All-Defensive and Defensive Player of the Year consideration, but my choice remains the same it has been all season: Hibbert. While Hibbert is good but not great by defensive RPM (+3.6), I think that understates his contributions to one of the best defenses in modern NBA history. Indiana's scheme is built around Hibbert's ability to protect the rim. No player who has faced more than 100 shots at the rim has allowed a lower shooting percentage than Hibbert (41.5 percent, per NBA.com/Stats). And that doesn't count the shots that Hibbert's presence deters from being taken in the first place, as the Pacers are one of the four teams that allow attempts at the rim on fewer than 30 percent of opposing shots. Hibbert's use of verticality has been imitated this season but not yet duplicated, and it's a major reason -- on top of everything else -- that Indiana ranks in the league's top 10 in keeping opponents off the foul line.

Guys are acting like a bunch of girls because he made an all-star team. All this over and all-star team? Really? Who gives a damn about the all-star team? Now, when he makes an all NBA team, then even Ill be looking like wtf?

And hey, Lebron approves

Maybe his conditioning/respiratory conditions plays a bigger part in his decreased productivity over the span of a game/season than we acknowledge?

Watch Roy Hibbert get the ball down low literally within 5 feet of the basket, with a defender 5 inches shorter, and just watch the shit he throws up. It's unbelievable sometimes.

This is my first comment on him but people aren't hating on him I wouldn't say, they are calling him out for some seriously shitty performances. People troll Dwight Howard when he has a 12 and 10 game. Has anybody seen Hibberts boxscores?

Howard has no post game -- Have people seen the weak shit Hibbert throws up, literally flings shots sometimes where I'm thinking, he has to know there was no way that was going in. It's pretty astonishing to watch somtimes. He does have good patience when he catches it down low though, but he only is able to use it/capitalize on it sometimes.

I mean, is defense and occasional offensive bursts really the merits of a max contract?
No, it definitely doesn't and if he wasn't getting a max contract, people wouldn't have a problem with an outstanding rim-protector...Especially when he's leading one of the better defenses in the modern era...Hibbert would immediately make most teams shoot up the defensive rankings. You just don't want to pay max for one...But at the time, Portland matched their offer so if they wanted to keep him, they had to pay him...Or they'd be starting Ian Mahimi...

I don't know how a 7'2 280 pound player can be so bad in so many aspects. I still remember last season when he was shooting 45% around the rim for long stretches. Like even most midget PGs shoot over 50% there.

Nobody understands what?

We all know he's an elite defender and one of the best in the league. Other than his defense he's not a good offensive player or a rebounder. That's what we're trying to say.

I'm saying nobody understands why he's playing so poorly, other than he just sucks. But that seems a little too simplistic...It may be true on offense.

Watch Roy Hibbert get the ball down low literally within 5 feet of the basket, with a defender 5 inches shorter, and just watch the shit he throws up. It's unbelievable sometimes.

This is my first comment on him but people aren't hating on him I wouldn't say, they are calling him out for some seriously shitty performances. People troll Dwight Howard when he has a 12 and 10 game. Has anybody seen Hibberts boxscores?

Howard has no post game -- Have people seen the weak shit Hibbert throws up, literally flings shots sometimes where I'm thinking, he has to know there was no way that was going in. It's pretty astonishing to watch somtimes. He does have good patience when he catches it down low though, but he only is able to use it/capitalize on it sometimes.

Well I don't think he likes to get catches in the paint. I think he's scared of 3 seconds haha.

I think NBA defenses know how to stop him now, but if you give him a catch on the block... right outside the paint, I think he gets a good shot. It's just all of the shit that happens before the catch that ****s him. He's either too far out on the catch or he's in the paint and he's not an explosive finisher at all.

Edit: @ Dro, yea well I don't understand why Deron is playing like ass either. It's mysterious the way dudes just fall off sometimes. Hopefully, Roy will come back. Of course there is probably some reason, but we may never know...

He looked good in the fourth for a minute there. Cant tell if Atlana just gave up or if he really a little bit in him.

Either way he needs to not play in the playoffs if he cant produce.

I think he finally just got mad at the end...Why it took him so long, I dont know...However, Antic is a bad matchup for him, its wearing himi down having to chase him on the perimeter...He really should only be in the game when Brand is in, other than that, Vogel needs to give Copeland more playing time...

Just because Boston are looking to rebuild doesn't mean that they're willing to take overpaid scrubs for their two best players.

Not sure how much Hibbert is making in his contract, but it is all too obvious that someone has paid the man to take a dive.

As much as I make fun of Hibbert, there's no way he's this bad. There's definitely something else going on with him.
