This sounds awful I feel bad for George and it does hurt team USA but its next man up. George's athletic ability and defense combined with his offensive skills can't be matched but whoever takes his place might bring something else that can be used. Losing George might make it more likely they bring in Love if/when he is available.

What a tough offseason for the Pacers they lose Lance and now George goes down. They its the east but if George isn't playing they might be a lottery team maybe George Hill steps up to score points. Is there someone on the wing for the Pacers I am forgetting?

Without George you're not getting past Spain let alone New Zealand....

monster, your not missing anyone else on the pacers. They have cj miles but he relies more on set ups. Its put up time for hibbert. Its on him to carry the team.

Spain would be tough for usa. They have homecourt as well. I dont know much about new zealand other than steven adams. Maybe kiwi can give us a better view of their national team.

I don't wanna take away focus from George and his injury, but you're insane if you think USA's not winning that tournament.

It's still David West's team. Pacers are lottery bound, though.

George is good but let's not get carried away here. Now if Durant had gotten hurt then yeah. Don't forget Anthony Davis is probably gonna kill it in this tourney.

The pressure and blame would be on hibbert cam. West is the leader of the pacers. He is the vet and the enforcer of the team even with george and lance. We know that. But hibbert will be on the spotlight as he earns max money and is the guy that physically ngives pacers an advantage every night.

We got extra wings. Scola or LaVoy Allen? (I'm not sure Scola can be traded...)

I fucking hope so.. god damn... that was nasty... so devastating... this sucks man

EDIT: Turns out the stanchions in this arena are different due to how the arena is laid out and the NBA said they wouldn't have another event there after the All Star game was there not so long ago.
