No, cause as my boy said this weekend... the Pacers are the Buffalo Bills of the NBA

Spoiler

j/k Drew, I am in agreement w/ ya, its ridiculous that a top team is bagged on like this.

It's only delusional casual fans that only look at PPG to rate players that are upset. Anyone that isn't brainwashed by ESPN knows the ratings are fine

Thabo Sefolosha (70)
Kendrick Perkins (70)
Serge Ibaka (84)

From the Live Stream. I am actually surpised by Sefolosha

Some people just want to bash the Pacers every chance they get. Probably Bulls, Knicks and Heat fans
Anyone who actually knows the game would know Hibbert played thru a hand injury a good part of the season last year and why he struggled offensively. Yet he dominated in the playoffs and punked Tyson Chandler who is a good defensive C. Paul George is a rising star in the game and why he might be a little high, he is rated fine compared to some guys they still have overrated in the game. Hibbert a 81 is no where near being overrated, Id say thats spot on for him. He is one of the top 5 or near a top 5 C in the game, especially considering how weak the C position is now days.

Also Reggie Jackson is a 70. Didn't feel like making an image out of it

Exactly! The Pacers are a team, not a team with a couple stars and the rest role players. People like to point out that Hibbert being 7ft dont grab 10+ reb a game, well most bigs on our team would grab quite as many reb cause we have a whole team that rebounds well. Kind of hard to grab a bunch of rebounds when even the guards are good rebounders. Goes the same for scoring avg, we dont have a go to guy, its who ever is open is the go to guy. They play the game they way its suppose to be played.
I really think this year we have a great shot to get to the finals and even win it all. I will mis physco T cause he was my favorite player, but Scola is the better player. Plus Tyler needs a chance to start as he has proven he plays better as a starter than he does off the bench, but he wasnt about to take D West spot.

The Pacers are a great team, not a great group of individual superstars. What makes Indiana great, much like San Antonio, is their selflessness, teamwork, and defense. So therefore, I wouldn't expect many of the Pacers to exceed 75+OVR, but they should have plenty of depth and balance.

As good as Paul George is, he's definitely far from an offensive juggernaut, as he shot just 42% from the field and took an average of 38 minutes per game to average 18. I'm just hoping that the increase to his rating up to an 88 isn't all offensive, as he's one of the top perimeter defenders in the league now.

In Hibbert's case, he is strange because of his struggles throughout the regular season and sudden resurgence offensively and on the boards in the playoffs. However, defensively all season he's stellar and one of the best anchors in the NBA, which should justify an 80 rating, IMO.

Hibbert had a hand injury for a good part of the year, and didnt even tell anyone for a while about it. The last part of the season his offense came around, and anyone who watched the playoffs knows what he did then.

I would think on Paul George that it is his defense that got a boost as to why his rating is what it is. Scoring avg dont mean much on our team, but his fg% wasnt great last year, but he will only get better and the fact that Granger is back should help PG be more efficient, as well as Granger should be more efficient now with a team around him. PG is probably a couple pts higher than he should be, but so is some other guys they have shown. Evan ( I got hit with the ugly stick) Turner got lowered and he is still to high imo.
