Carlisle wants O'Neal to keep putting it up

The Indiana Pacers have won their past two games with forward Jermaine O'Neal struggling from the field.

RICK- WHEN????? are u going to understand the bench can win games not
your picks for starters???

[CAROLYN]

ALSO Pacers DON't need JO/JT It's time to move on. Granger is not as great as people blow him up to be either.

1). Shawne Williams instead of Marcus Williams. Shawne under-developed at seasons end instead of contributing to the point of being a real threat. Marcus got lucky and is being nurtured by Kidd in Jersey. 2). Tinsley's still here? 3). Pacers are too predictable. 4). Harrington, where is he now? Was he worth what amounts to Dunleavy or Murphy or Diogu(which Carlisle hesitates to use/play) for our No.1 pick? 5). Where is Yasikevicious? Who? 6). Baston? Who? 7). Where in the world is Harrison? 8). Croshere and Anthony Johnson are looking really good vs. Armstrong and Daniels! 9). Is Foster ever going to be given a chance to be involved in the offense?(Must receive a bonus to rebound J.O.'s missed shots or retrieve his errant passes?) 10). Carlisle using expletive concerning questions pertaining to J.O.'s performances lately! Is this a sign of losing it before the pink slip?

Great, we have won 2 in a row. Farewell 1st Round pick. Hello sub-35 win season next year.

you still think that you can win with what you have ----think agaion --you have no offensive pattern to run ==onmly give ball to a very poor defense player--how do the oweners stand for this!@!!

[Bye Rick]

Carlisle must go. He has proven in Detroit and here that he cant develop players properly and they blossom with another coach. If Bird cant see this than he must go also. There is way too much talent to struggle this bad. You had your chance Rick. Donnie was right when he passed you over the first time. Your gut feeling is usually right.

Ummm...What did you just say?

[Jermaine]

Give me some games off coach. My knee hurts. This ain't worth 20 million.

Ahmen to that. Mcleod is better than J.T, Williams seems to be better than Granger, and Murphy is better than the one trick pony Foster.

Just throw them away now right? Who should we get? Should we build our team around Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavey???? PLEASE!! All I can say is Go Golden State... who for the first time, in over a decade, are in 8th place in the west. Let consider this.. Maybe we should let Carlisle go. OOhh!!

No, not throw them away, but Trade the 2 of them together (because thats the only way we can get rid of Tinsley) and get a couple of guys who are actually worth their salary. Nothing against JO, but he's not worth the money the Pacers pay him.
