— -- ATLANTA -- One of coach Frank Vogel's strongest attributes -- his loyalty to and faith in his players -- could end up costing the Indiana Pacers their first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks.

Vogel has always looked for the positive, even if there are five negatives with a player. He continues to stick with Roy Hibbert as his starting center.

Miss after miss. Fumbled pass after fumbled pass. And missed rebound after missed rebound.

It's time for that to stop. 

But that basketball shouldn't involve Hibbert in the starting lineup.
