What is Sauru up to?
I don't know why people are saying so much about the Pacers. Them getting beaten 2 times in a row isn't enough? Apart from OKC, Spurs & Warriors, no other team should be considered a threat to a healthy Heat. And Oden can be a bonus, but if he isn't fit, that won't be our biggest problem.

Pacers had good chances to win the series. Whether they would have beaten the Spurs or Grizzlies I don't know, but they could have made it to the Finals if Hibbert had not been sitting on the bench at the end of Game 1...

But I think Indiana can beat Miami this time. They still have the size advantage up front versus the Heat or Knicks.

It's absurd to take Pacers as the better team and let alone as top dog in East over all teams. Sure anything can happen in 7 game series but prior to that there are 82 games and first/second rounds to play in the playoffs possibly before the match up even happening. The Pacers' only advantage again is going to be Hibbert and West's physicality. They improved? Sure they did with their youth but that still don't give them edge over the Heat. Closed the gap? Sauru's on point. The man's wise as benji on crack.
You can consider the Pacers as #2 because Hibbert is a match up nightmare for a lot of teams in the league. But he isn't unstoppable or anything. Hell, Noah can
own this guy. You possibly could place the Bulls over Pacers because Rose is coming back. That's before throwing Nets into the mix.
Knicks? They downgraded.

It's because Pacers are the one of the teams that knows how to shut down Heat's offense, other teams are Grizzlies, Oklahoma, and Bulls (even though they didn't look too good on defense last year).

For the Bulls' case last year, they have five people off game due to either injury or sickness during that series. I'm not saying they would of won that series, but they'd of been way better off if those people played in that series without restrictions.

Pacers are a mediocre offensive team at best but they match up very well with Miami. They lost the last two years ultimately because Miami was better.
I'd probably rank Indy 4th in the East if Rose is healthy but rate their chances against Miami the best. Their bench did improve a lot.

Which is the other 1 in the East(Miami, Pacers, Bulls), Lamrock?
I hope you won't be saying Nets.

rofl, I respect the Nets but I don't think they're going to be what most of the people expect to be, they have a rookie coach, chemistry is going to be a bit of problem again simply because they have a new coach again. ofc they can prove me wrong.

I'd probably rank Lamrock 4th in this discussion if benji was healthy but rate his chances against Sauru the best. His brain did improve a lot.

benji on crack?
Tue Aug 06, 2013 2:30 pm
Pffft look at you fags insinuating benji does crack.
Do you know? Do you really know? No way. No.
First of all let's get one thing straight, crack is cheap. benji makes too much money buying games to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight ok. He doesn't do crack. He doesn't do that. Crack is whack.
I wanna see the receipts. I wanna see the receipts from the drug dealer benji bought crack.

If anyone's compared to a 'benji anything', they should take it as a complement. In Sauru's case, it just happened so that 'crack' was appropriate. And we know Lamrock's the closest thing to benji in a lot of senses like Joel to Wilt.
