The number 3 seed Pacers were upset by Boston last night, and chaos reigns in Indiana. Ron Artest had to be restrained by police from attacking the crowd, and he fought with one of the Pacers assistant coaches. Jermaine O'Neal says he will not play for anyone in Indiana except Isiah Thomas, who may be out the door soon.
The question for Mavs fans is, can we take advantage of this situation? Do we want anything to do with any of these psychos? Because the Pacers may not. We can talk about Detroit too when they become only the 3rd top seed in history to begin their vacation in early May...

One good thing yesterday was all the teams that faced elimination lost. Maybe NBA wants the second round to start and thus Ref's might give calls to the team leading the series.

<< One good thing yesterday was all the teams that faced elimination lost.

They have pretty much said that there will no more than one Game 1's on Sunday unless there are no Game 7's on Sunday. It is to the NBA's advantage to have game 7's on Sunday. If you believe the NBA conspiracy theories, you have to assume the refs are going to butcher the Mavs tonight, in an effort to make the series go the distance.

Jermaine O'neal said he wouldn't consider leaving Indiana unless there was a "complete meltdown". Does this rate??

Does this rate?? >> Well, Marty Burns of si.com seems to think that the Pacers' defeat doesn't qualify as a complete meltdown, saying "let’s save the "total meltdown" tag for a team that might deserve it later, like the Pistons -- or perhaps the Mavericks." I am SO SICK of this already. We HAVE to win tonight. RE: Jermaine O'Neal, I think the only likely option for him--other than staying in Indiana, which I think is probable-- is SA.

<< We HAVE to win tonight >> Abso-freaking-lutely. GET THIS SERIES OVER WITH! Mavs, repeat after me: We are a much better team than the Blazers, we are a much better team than the Blazers... Honestly if the Mavs drop this one I don't think I can bring myself to watch the next game or I'll probably start destroying random objects in the room from the stress level.

Indy would love something back if he were going to leave anyway.

Its absolutely a meltdown. The Pacers have two all-stars Oneal and Miller.

Also, O'Neal would have to be on board. Not too many teams gonna help Cuban out of his cap woes. |

The guy is putting up 20/20 regularly these days. Whether he would want to come here, I don't know.

Any S&T for O'Neil necessarily involves BYC issues. Thus, very unlikely.

Indiana will keep O'Neal, and probably pay him the max. Momma Walsh didn't raise no fool.
