O'Brien was marked by inconsistent playing time. And, as a result, lots
of frustration. And a clear lack of belief in the second-year big man,
from the man they call "Obie."


Like, say, in the second week of December. Hansbrough put up 20
points and nine boards in a Pacers win over Denver, only to play just 18
combined minutes over the next three games, with the final notch in
that trio of shame resulting in a Did Not Play-Coach's Decision. Scores
of zeros under the minute ledger dot his game log under Obie, and
despite Hansbrough's overactive defense at times, there was no real
reason for a 25-year-old second-year forward to be treated like a
flighty 19-year-old rookie."Gee, I wonder why that is. Glad to see him proving everyone wrong.

In the comments section, looks like someone (maybe from here) is continuing to spread the stupid "Kevin Love and Blake Griffin can jump the same." Anyone with two eyeballs knows that's not true, and it hurts the cause perpetuating something so stupid.

Kevin Love's vertical wasmeasured at 35 in. Blake Griffin's vertical was measured at 35.5 inches. At the Kevin Love thread on page 5, whiteathlete33 posted the links to draftexpress.com

Tyler is back to getting 20-23 minutes a game. When Tyler went off he
was getting 35+ minutes a game. Hopefully the Pacers are just keeping
him fresh for the playoffs or Psycho T's lack of playing time is BS unless he has an unspecified injury.

probably an injury. I heard Garnett played pretty dirty against him. His production has declined since then, If I'm not mistaken.

I didn't see the game but thanks for bringing that up Snow. Garnett loves to play dirty with white guys. Just check his track record.

Tyler's been criminally under-utilized this year, averaging only 16 minutes per game. However, he's started the last 5 games due to David West's injury. Predictably, he has produced 14.6 pts and 10.8 rebounds in still a limited 26 minutes per game. Another guy who all he does is produce, but he can never get full time minutes.
