Just space filler tbh.

[AaronY]

Can't wait to see what outfit Dwyane is rocking to the stadium tonight..hope it involves a scarf and a sweater tied around his waist..

[hater]

Miami by 26

[AaronY]

Fingers crossed for sum white pants..

[hater]

hoping a wheelchair or a stretcher make an appearance on court :lol

[Arcadian]

Big game. Whoever wins tonight wins the series.

[Trainwreck2100]

Can't wait to see what outfit Dwyane is rocking to the stadium tonight..hope it involves a scarf and a sweater tied around his waist..

Hopefully his outfit leaving the arena involves some sort of brace and crutch combination.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Heat (-7.5) for 2 fiddy

[Reck]

Pacers keep on bullying them niggas.

[rogues]

I expect nothing short of greatness from this team..15-20 point blowout..

[spurraider21]

the Heat have responded to both playoff losses with crushing victories. pretty sure the Pacers are well aware of this having experienced it firsthand, still not much they can do about it if LeBron is on his A-game, flopping or not

[Trainwreck2100]

Heat (-7.5) for 2 fiddy

holy fuck 8 points for the Heat? Vegas with no respect for the Pacers. I don't see it being a blowout cause I doubt Spo can come up with an adjustment for what the Pacers did to mess with their centers. Still think the Heat win but it will be close.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Fwiw.



Alok Pattani‏@AlokPattaniESPN18m


Heat 18-3 playoff W-L w/ Dan Crawford reffing since 04: highest win pct for any team-ref combo in span (min 10 gms - 116 qualifying combos).

[StrengthAndHonor]

Danny Crawford is officiating tonight of course...

[DeadlyDynasty]

2 different black people/chicken commercials so far and the game hasn't even started yet. NBA sure knows their target demographic

[manufan10]

2 different black people/chicken commercials so far and the game hasn't even started yet. NBA sure knows their target demographic

:lol

[Clipper Nation]

I'm thinking/hoping we'll see a vintage LeBron performance tonight, tbh....

[KaiRMD1]

This game has started off ugly, Wade just airballed a floater

[Nathan89]

:lmao Pacers treating Wade like Tony Allen

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol bailout

[Trainwreck2100]

sick tip in

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol the fix is in

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf PG had the opportunity to dunk that shit on lebrons head, instead lays it up

[KaiRMD1]

Heat looking like the Cavs from 2007-2010, all Lebron, not good.

[capek]

Can't wait to see what outfit Dwyane is rocking to the stadium tonight..hope it involves a scarf and a sweater tied around his waist..

of cashmere? :tu

[TDMVPDPOY]

lebron james fake ass defensive player, cant even hold PG below his seasonal avgs in this series

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's a crime if Hibbert doesn't touch the ball on every offensive possession--there's simply nothing Miami can do about him

[Cry Havoc]

I think after all these years of criticizing the officials, the message has finally gotten across that there's a very trained eye on the favoritism being displayed by NBA refs. If they call a bad game it's going to get a ton of bad press. Might have pressured the NBA into being a little more evenhanded with some of these series.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I keep wondering when the Heat are going to go into Game 3 beast mode. They seem like they're ready to unleash a 30-point beating on any team, yet they are seeming very timid.

[xtremesteven33]

Lets go Pacers!

[Trainwreck2100]

hory fuck Lebron needs to quit this "get everyone else involved" shit

And I'm so tired of that shitty Adidas commercial

[Rogue]

team winning this one will gain the game point. both teams will go all-out and miami will win because no one can beat them when they're determined to win.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

If Hibbert could make distance jump shots reliably, this series would be lopsided in favor of Indiana.

[DeadlyDynasty]

holy hell they can't make layups...should be 21-9

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Really dumb play by Indiana.

The Pacers can't possibly hope to survive 20 dumb mistakes each game against a team like the Heat.

[Cry Havoc]

Hibbert becoming dat guy.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Air ball by Wade :lol

[AussieFanKurt]

young looks disabled on O

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Pacers can't keep allowing the Heat to keep them far away from the basket.

[capek]

hory fuck Lebron needs to quit this "get everyone else involved" shit

And I'm so tired of that shitty Adidas commercial

ya alright chinaman, whatever you say

[fevertrees]

Captain West needs to make layups.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

The Spurs would probably expose the Pacers' flaws in a Finals matchup.

[Nathan89]

West needs a couple minutes in the layup line.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol wade flopping already watta shit ****

[capek]

George to George! :tu

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Every time the Heat make a dumb play, they get bailed out by an Indiana dumb play

[TDMVPDPOY]

holy shit PG baskets has all been in lebrons face, while lebron all open jumpers...

wade flopping again wtf

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahaha someone injured fck u chalmers

[Cry Havoc]

Chalmers with the flop. :lmao

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Wow, Chalmers lying down, putting himself in 3-point position, what a strategy

[Cry Havoc]

Oh my god I'm so hurt wait let me hit dis 3. :lmao

[RD2191]

lets go pacers

[AussieFanKurt]

Oh my god I'm so hurt wait let me hit dis 3. :lmao

lol fake bitch

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Chalmers got up as soon as he realized the flop wouldn't work.

[RD2191]

Spurs licking their chops.

[Mugen]

:lol How are the Pacers still up in this game even with like 10 blown layups and Sam Young being born?

[midnightpulp]

Don't like the Pacers' scoring balance. Their lack of depth will also play a huge role in this game, as well. I expect the Heat to break this open soon and go into halftime with a double digit lead.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I'd love to see Hibbert score 35 points.

[Texas_Ranger]

Sam Young on offense is pathetic...

[AussieFanKurt]

sam young is embarrassing to watch

[100%duncan]

Sadly Indiana is only up 4 after the perfomances of Hibbert and George.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

The Heat's defense in the paint has improved. The Pacers' has not. This is troubling.

[TDMVPDPOY]

get hans out fkn scrub

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Hansbrough is playing like a rookie.

[Reck]

LOL pedo coming loose.

[100%duncan]

Child molester vs Phsyco T

[Suspect]

child molester with 14 straight dunks/layups and announcers go crazy like it's historical

[AussieFanKurt]

lol birdcunt thinks he's tuff

[Strategic]

throw freako out

[Cry Havoc]

Psycho-T getting under dat bird's feathers.

[HI-FI]

lol, he probably won't get tossed because he's playing for the heat. he should be though. psycho T handled it pretty well. Pedo coming loose.

[AussieFanKurt]

please eject pedo

[Texas_Ranger]

moron

[RD2191]

toss that chester

[Lincoln]

Eject that methhead ugly ass faggot


Why the fuck is it a double t??? Hans didn't do shit

[Spurs9]

:lmao pedoman pedoman

[The Reckoning]

:lmao birdman

[Suspect]

Hans solo with a Tech? :lmao

[hater]

:lmao refs

ChildFucker should get ejected

[KaiRMD1]

Andersen needs to be tossed, based off rules. Hansborough will be tossed for bothering the Birdman

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Why can't they upgrade a foul? That's absurd. One of many absurd things with NBA officiating.

[The Reckoning]

should have been double flagrant tbh

[HI-FI]

double T is such bullshit. this league is a joke. just like Pacers getting called for flopping when heat have been iniating that shit all playoffs.

[Cry Havoc]

Why can't they upgrade a foul? That's absurd. One of many absurd things with NBA officiating.

They did.

[hater]

:lmao they called a tech on Hasbro :lmao

[lefty]

Birdman :rollin

[midnightpulp]

So I guess Vogel's plan is to have George and Hibbert score a combined 90-95 points? :lol

Hibbert and George's production is in no way sustainable and if other guys don't get soon involved, the Pacers will lose control of this game in a nanosecond.

[roninenix]

MWP would've been ejected if he did that shit

[Cry Havoc]

should have been double flagrant tbh

wtf did T do?

[RD2191]

Tim Duncan licking his chops.

[Reck]

That shit is goaltend.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol heat fans...pathetic gettin excited over a fkn block?

[100%duncan]

:lol acts like he won a ship with a block

[lefty]

The HEat dont scare me at all :lol

[100%duncan]

So I guess Vogel's plan is to have George and Hibbert score a combined 90-95 points? :lol

Hibbert and George's production is in no way sustainable and if other guys don't get soon involved, the Pacers will lose control of this game in a nanosecond.

Agreed, their play kinda seems fool's gold.

[KaiRMD1]

Child fucker is a hero in Miami, a rapist is a hero in LA.

[hater]

call me insensitive but I would not mind a few pressure cookers up in the stands of that arena :lmao

[Strategic]

Wonder if stern has the balls to fix that little screw up?

[siraulo23]

Epic sequence of events :lol bird an still playing amazing

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

What exactly did Hansbrough do wrong...................?

[The Reckoning]

game looks so much slower pace than the spurs/GS series. i'm liking spurs odds right now.

[lefty]

What exactly did Hansbrough do wrong...................?
According to rule 48 paragraphe 3, he is not wearing a Heat jersey

[RD2191]

Wonder if stern has the balls to fix that little screw up?
Too soon, tbh.

[Reck]

What exactly did Hansbrough do wrong...................?

Try to defend the post.

[RD2191]

my bad, wasn't towards you strat

[hater]

According to rule 48 paragraphe 3, he is not wearing a Heat jersey

:lmao

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I think the Spurs may be the only team in the NBA disciplined enough not to react to cheap shots by the Heat players or unfair officiating.

That will be crucial; keeping mental cool.

[Nathan89]

Reggie calling out the NBA for not implementing the rules fairly. Props.

[Strategic]

Hansbrough didn't stand his ground there but Hibbert kept him from hitting the floor.

[RD2191]

damn, refs lettin em play

[manufan10]

:lol at my timeline on Twitter blowing up after the Pedo block. Why do people cheer this pedo?

[Reck]

Reggie calling out the NBA for not implementing the rules fairly. Props.

Not that it was his intention. Its the Pacers so even if they are in the wrong, Reggie will stick up for them.

[capek]

Pacers looking solid :tu

[The Reckoning]

my bad meant to say anderson should have been ejected

[AaronY]

What exactly did Hansbrough do wrong...................?
Wore the wrong jersey..

[HI-FI]

According to rule 48 paragraphe 3, he is not wearing a Heat jersey
:lol



but real talk, if Pacerrs win this game, that shit will be hilarious. i doubt it, but they looking good so far.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol mahinmi the fkn scrub doing stupid shit as usual

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

The Pacers tend to pass the ball too hard. That's a recipe for turnovers. Throw the ball slightly slower.

[m33p0]

lemme guess... still cruising.

[naico]

Wow Pacers are bad ball handlers.

[Strategic]

ray allen maybe could have made a difference somewhere this year. poetic justice on him for going to miami trying to coattail if heat get beat. reminds me a bit of someone that left the Spurs a few years ago and went to boston.

[SpursFanFirst]

According to rule 48 paragraphe 3, he is not wearing a Heat jersey

:lol

[100%duncan]

Hibbert's rim protection has been amazing tbh.

[siraulo23]

The only thing that's keeping the pacers from having a double digit lead is turnovers, I expect the heat to make a run to end the half

[MinuteByMinuteSports]

Child fucker is a hero in Miami, a rapist is a hero in LA.

And parents dress their kids like this pedo

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Pacers will regret not having built a 15-point lead when they had the chance.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Pacers MUST STOP trying to make horizontal layups. NOT WORKING!

[The Reckoning]

heat looking mightily TOSB

[Strategic]

Child fucker is a hero in Miami, a rapist is a hero in LA.I was in denver airport this morning and saw two workers with anderson tattoos. jokes on them!

[TDMVPDPOY]

stephensen thinks his kobe or someshit, makes one play gives up on the other end

[RD2191]

:lmao

[100%duncan]

Hold on mothafuckas.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Lol, Anderson denied

[Lincoln]

NBA champion just swatting shit he is supposed to swat

[100%duncan]

Bosh's 3's F:lol:lols G:lolld

[AaronY]

Lol, owned by Ian Mahinmi..

[Strategic]

lol mahinmi the fkn scrub doing stupid shit as usualyea, but I always get a laugh out of watching him do his stupid shit.

[Texas_Ranger]

So Bosh is Bonner now?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Pacers cant buy a call

[crc21209]

How the hell does Stephenson end up with the ball everytime when the shot clock is winding down? What a fail...:td

[Lincoln]

Bosh is such a pussy. I still remember him crying on dampiers shoulder after game 6 in 2011

[manufan10]

Bosh's 3's F:lol:lols G:lolld

:lol Yup.

[hater]

has Lebron entered the game yet?

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Such a shame LeBron made that layup in Game 1. I would have loved the panic in Miami had the Heat gone down 3-1 in the series.

[AaronY]

It's a crime if Hibbert doesn't touch the ball on every offensive possession--there's simply nothing Miami can do about him

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Still can't tell which team I dislike more, the Miami Heat or the Pittsburgh Steelers.


Eh, I think it's still the Steelers.

[Reck]

Kerr with truth bombs. Pacers dont know how to close out a quarter to save their pathetic lives.

[manufan10]

:lol TOSB Wade

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

If the Heat trail the series 3-2, expect the media to play up the fact that they trailed the Celtics 3-2 last year.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Kerr with truth bombs. Pacers dont know how to close out a quarter to save their pathetic lives.

Doing good so far lol

[Lincoln]

Why don't they play Joel and haslem??

[manufan10]

Kerr with truth bombs. Pacers dont know how to close out a quarter to save their pathetic lives.

If they did, it's quite possible that they would be up 3-1.

[TDMVPDPOY]

man heat play like shit when refs dont have that cock down their throats

[Texas_Ranger]

Offensive plays from this two teams are hard to watch...

[hater]

Here comes Vogel taking out Hibbert for the last play of the game :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Still can't tell which team I dislike more, the Miami Heat or the Pittsburgh Steelers.


Eh, I think it's still the Steelers.

Thanks for updating us every 5 minutes on how much you dislike the Heat, we're all on the edge of our seats waiting for that info....

[100%duncan]

Hibbert's presence has been bothering LeBron all series long. Amazing tbh.

[100%duncan]

Damn you West. Damn you.

[SpursFanFirst]

Such a shame LeBron made that layup in Game 1. I would have loved the panic in Miami had the Heat gone down 3-1 in the series.

:tu

[Strategic]

wade with the hero ball.

[RD2191]

west :lmao

[Budkin]

I'm really starting to feel like the Spurs would beat either of these teams in 5.

[Texas_Ranger]

how do you miss that?

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Pathetic. Three missed Pacers layups could have made this 50-40.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I'm really starting to feel like the Spurs would beat either of these teams in 5.


If the Finals officiating were to be fair, I'd agree with you.

But......................

[Baron Davιs]

Bron needs to dominate the 2nd half.

[siraulo23]

D west is always upset :lol

[The Reckoning]

idgaf what the media says...a spurs/indiana finals would be fucking awesome basketball

[Reck]

Hibbert's presence has been bothering LeBron all series long. Amazing tbh.

:lol that sig.

What's fuckkkk for french Tony? :lol

[AaronY]

Why don't they play Joel and haslem??
Because they're two of the worst offensive players in the league..

[AaronY]

Haslem at least looks like he got his jumper back..play him before Anthony..

[Strategic]

Offensive plays from this two teams are hard to watch...
Spoken like a true Spurs fan.

[manufan10]

340280202389254144

:lol TOSB Wade

[hater]

what an abortion of a game

and they said Spurs Grizz was ugly :lmao

[SpursFanFirst]

idgaf what the media says...a spurs/indiana finals would be fucking awesome basketball

Absolutely! This has been my wish for years.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

What the fuck is up with the Heat's interior defense. Paul George's and Roy Hibbert's jumpers may have been flukes, but both of them have had quite a few easy shots + David West missed like 4 wide open layups.

[Nathan89]

George hill's contribution to the first half is dribbling the ball up to call a timeout.

[hater]

Hater's magic numbers

If Hibbert gets close to 25 and 15 Pacers win

book it

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

George hill's contribution to the first half is dribbling the ball up to call a timeout.
He got the Pacers to run their offense well.

[hater]

no need to watch the game or even the final score

look at box score and Hibbert's numbers

if anything close to 25 15 Pacers won

[HI-FI]

ever since Heat got called out for the flopping by the media, they haven't looked the same. I figured Heat would be blowing this one out, so I'm shocked with how well Indy is playing.

[LkrFan]

340280202389254144

[100%duncan]

no need to watch the game or even the final score

K. :lol

[Strategic]

ever since Heat got called out for the flopping by the media, they haven't looked the same. I figured Heat would be blowing this one out, so I'm shocked with how well Indy is playing.Typical lebron shit tbh. media pushed his ticket last year when okc couldn't get it done in the finals. this year his nature seems to be resurfacing.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

If a sloppy team like the Pacers can keep up with the Heat, you've got to like San Antonio's chances in a fairly-officiated Finals.

[moisaenz]

Hill killed by Lebron

[manufan10]

Why do you allow George Hill to play defense on LeBron 1-1?

[AaronY]

It's a crime if Hibbert doesn't touch the ball on every offensive possession--there's simply nothing Miami can do about him

[100%duncan]

Pacers should stop being cute and pound it to the post.

[midnightpulp]

Pacers look shaky. No way they win this shit. Especially with Lance Stephenson on the floor.

[Strategic]

pacers really need to go through hibbert on offense. refs trying to put the heat on the line early.

[Reck]

Gay

[moisaenz]

Indy no defense

[100%duncan]

Bosh :lol What a phaggot.

[timtonymanu]

And here comes Miami

[m33p0]

danger time for the pacers right here.

[Cry Havoc]

Pacers look shaky. No way they win this shit. Especially with Lance Stephenson on the floor.

If either team plays like this against us, it'll be over in 5, 6 max. This is ugly.

[crc21209]

:lol Letting Udonis Haslem blow by you...

[Robz4000]

Pacers were done when they lost Game 3 at home tbh.

[hater]

when Haslem is on. Heat are pretty unbeatable

:lol wasting your time on the BigBird :lol

stupid filibeaner

I'm sure Riley slaped the shit out of him and said put Haslem in you ricer

[manufan10]

Pacers were done when they lost Game 3 at home tbh.

Game 1 was bigger, imo tbh.

[midnightpulp]

Pacers :lolffense

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Every time I stop watching, the Pacers start scoring. Maybe I should just quit watching?

[m33p0]

grizzlies showed more offensive fluidity than the pacers.

[moisaenz]

Pacers cant pound it inside

[Texas_Ranger]

what advice did Parker give to Hill? How to dribble the fucking ball?

[manufan10]

:lol LeBron
:lol Ball Don't Lie

[pikkiwoki]

Indy's offense is ass :lol

[crc21209]

Hibbert, George, and West are both mentally and physically prepared to win this series. The rest of their team either lack brains (Stephenson, Mahinmi) or physical offensive skills...

[D-Wade]

when Haslem is on. Heat are pretty unbeatable

:lol wasting your time on the BigBird :lol

stupid filibeaner

I'm sure Riley slaped the shit out of him and said put Haslem in you ricer

It's like Spo hasn't been on the coaching staff for years... Haslem has heart and has been playing well... why bench him?!

[Robz4000]

Game 1 was bigger, imo tbh.

If they'd of lost game 2, yes, but there's no way they'd of taken two in Miami.

[moisaenz]

Stephenson lucky break

[midnightpulp]

Fronting Hibbert shouldn't cause that much of a problem. He's so tall and long, making a pass in that situation shouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately, the Pacers are filled with incompetent passers.

[m33p0]

yeah! go to hibbert! that should be the only play pacers call.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Spurs are probably gaining confidence while watching this series. San Antonio's offense could probably WORK this Heat defense.

[100%duncan]

Captain West :wow

[crc21209]

I wanna see some fucking punches thrown quit teasing! :lol

[HI-FI]

here come the refs to push this to 7,.

but damn that Hibbert block.....

[pikkiwoki]

:lol Hill

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol fight fight

[lefty]

Rpfl

[m33p0]

that was a big call.

[RD2191]

west would wreck that bitch

[Reck]

West is such a mental midget.

Let shit go fucktard. You're playing for the Finals here.

[hater]

West about to kill someone there :wow

[timtonymanu]

So happy the Spurs traded George Hill :lol

[pikkiwoki]

Did Hill just piss away a 3 on 1 break? :lol

[lefty]

Chalmers is a faggot

[hater]

West is such a mental midget.

Let shit go fucktard. You're playing for the Finals here.

West is a martial artist I believe. He could kill anyone with a few hits. Hard to play a physical game knowing this tbh

[The Reckoning]

"Hide yo kids, hide yo wives."

[Red Hawk #21]

David West would murder Haslem tbqh

[DeadlyDynasty]

west would wreck that bitch

No...UD is an Opa-Locka nigga, he'd fuck West's world up

[Trainwreck2100]

lel chalmers started all that shit

[midnightpulp]

I think Vogel just needs to gamble and stick with Hill.

[100%duncan]

Fronting Hibbert shouldn't cause that much of a problem. He's so tall and long, making a pass in that situation shouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately, the Pacers are filled with incompetent passers.

That's what I was thinking. The weak side help of Miami is done half-assed too. The passing of Pacers is just awful.

[manufan10]

"Hide yo kids, hide yo wives."

:lmao I was just telling my brother the same thing.

[The Reckoning]

LeBrick :lmao

[pikkiwoki]

:lol Lebrick

[AaronY]

Lebron misses two wide open threes..glares to the ref..

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol heat fags are scared to penetrate cause of the physical fouls...

[ElNono]

lol @ Chalmers and Haslem talking shit while pulling the reverse gear as soon as Capt West was approaching...

[Lincoln]

These calls are so fucking soft

[D-Wade]

Indy's passing is atrocious... too bad Miami refuses to play their normal level of defense.

[Budkin]

Goddamn ticky tack fouls

[pikkiwoki]

:lol Pacers can't even execute basic entry passes
