Biggest what-if in Pacers history?



I think I have to go with Paul George never suffered that gruesome injury during a Team USA scrimmage.

    Malice at the palace could have been our year

    What if game 7 vs the Bulls in Chicago had been officiated fairly? Pippen mugged Marc Jackson every time down the court, absolute joke of a game.

  3. horrendousacts

    Drafting TJ Leaf over OG. Not the biggest what-if. Maybe the biggest WTF

  4. fuzzynavel34

    Nope. Malice at the Palace never happens is the biggest what if

  5. Victory33

    What if we didn’t trade away the 2nd pick in the 1984 draft…and took Jordan.

  6. bigwilbert

    Nah. It’s if the Malice never happened. That Pacers squad was the best in the league.

    Have to agree with the others saying Malice in the Palace, this is probably a strong second but nothing tops Malice. Obligatory Fuck the Pistons and their fan base!

    Anything other than if the malice never happened is the wrong answer.

  9. Boss_Walker

    If he doesn’t get hurt…thats right when the mass change happened and guys like Hibbert were quickly out of the league.  It be interesting to see if they could’ve gotten a stretch 5.

    1. Malice never happens if I fight the pistons fan first.  
    2. If the Blazers can hold the 4th qt lead against the Lakers in 2000  
    3. Antonio Davis doesn’t foul to give Grandmama a 4pt play 
    4. If our coaching staff could have adjusted with Mark Jackson not bringing the ball up against Pippen in the 4th of game 7.  
    5. If we don’t cut Granger so the team morale didn’t fracture, MAYBE.

    If reggie dunks it instead of going for the layup- biggest what if

  12. WorkMediumPlayMedium

    Trading the pick that became MJ. Trading the pick that was Kawhi.

    Not even close to the biggest what if. PG is very much a known commodity

  14. Seanannigans14

    Nah. He still would have left for LA. It’s wasn’t the injury, it “was the talent” as he put it. “we didn’t care” blah blah blah. No matter who we added, we weren’t getting through LeBron. Not a chance. Also, not a clutch player to get the job done even when given the opportunity(s), so it doesnt matter x2.

    We know this dude, bender would be as a player, the biggest mystery

  16. Nah. West conceded that they knew they were not good enough to beat Miami. I think we saw the peak of that lineup could do and it still came up short. It was going to get to broken up with or without PG’s injury.

    The Blazers up against the Lakers is.

    Malice, there too much season left.
