ECF: #1 Indiana Pacers vs #2 Miami Heat playoff series thread

[BatManu20]

David West has a 30 lb advantage on Battier so he gets the ball in the post and throws up an air ball 15 foot jumper over him :lol

Indy doesn't know how to maintain leads cause as soon as they get one their offense goes to shambles

[DPG21920]

Small lineup has cut into the lead some..

[IrisHockey]

:lol backdoor sweep in the making. Don't worry about it Heat nation

[Infinite_limit]

Never saw the Bulls shit the bed like this in a Conference Final.

[RsxPiimp]

The Rape

[jeebus]

Pedo getting ready to go on a rape rampage tonight

[ElNono]

:lol if they start calling moving screens, this might be over soon

[smaka]

Indy with some thunder-esque calls :lol

[ElNono]

somebody ask Harlem if this is an historic freethrow differential so far...

[jeebus]

Hibbert's taken more FTs than the Heat? Expect that to change next game :lol

[testies]

so many whistles for Indiana

maybe NBA wants a OKC-Pacers finals, because thats the only way OKC can win?

[gnsf0946]

Refs want this to be a long series so expect fair and at times in favor of Indiana officiating

[RsxPiimp]

Sup with Lebron today. So passive.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol This is why I laugh when people claim Miami and LeBron get all the calls....

[jeebus]

:lol nice meltdown at the end here

[BatManu20]

Mahinmi has played awful this game. All day.

[ElNono]

lol Yawn mahinmi

[jeebus]

:lmao

[CitizenDwayne]

I wish the current Spurs had a reputation for being 'tough and blue-collar'; it would be nice to get calls like this

[RsxPiimp]

Yep, here we go...

[BatManu20]

Like I said. Miami is still going to win this game because Pacers can't close.

[IrisHockey]

:lol buttholes getting tight,,

[Muser]

Pacers shit the bed in the last few minutes

[Mugen]

What a terrible shot by George Hill there at the end, kept Miami very much in this game.

[BatManu20]

Lance Stephenson about to knock Mahinmi out for being so terrible :lol. He's been pissed at him all day for his play

[Killakobe81]

:lol nice meltdown at the end here
Yep.

[RsxPiimp]

Pacers have so much confidence against the Heat, they know they can take these guys, they play above their expectations

[TIMMYtoZO]

Miami is still hanging around despite EVERYTHING Indy has thrown at them. :lmao

[DPG21920]

You just can't throw that pass against MIA, especially when it's near Lebron. It's just a terrible pass that leads to an immediate score as you've seen a hundred times. That pass cannot be straight across.

[RsxPiimp]

:lol buttholes getting tight,,
Evident by Pacers fans giving them a standing O just before that George shot, you know they were getting nervous :lol

[CitizenDwayne]

Is it just me or have teams been giving up huge leads more than usual this post-season? Spurs (against Mavs), obv. Clippers against OKC, and potentially this...

[~O~]

The Pacers are falling asleep. The Heat win off playing hard: offensive boards, steals, and fast breaks. You can't afford to sleep on them

[Clipper Nation]

Haters getting shook :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Mahinmi throwing this lead away for the pacers. They'd be better off playing scola.

[Malik Hairston]

Missed the first 3 quarters, not a surprising outcome, tbh..as I said the other day, this is going to be a tight series for a few reasons:

- Miami hasn't been tested, so far, so it will take them 2-3 games to play withmore intensity
- Pacers are extremely confident against Miami
- Refs..Indiana always has a massive officiating advantage against the Heat, but it's ignored because the Pacers are theloveable underdog in the matchup

[BatManu20]

Mahinmi throwing this lead away for the pacers. They'd be better off playing scola.

He's been horrendous all day. Multiple blown defensive assignments, turnovers, missed lay up. Surprised he's still in the game tbh.

[Mugen]

:lol George Ginobili tbh

[D-Wade]

WTF Wade

[ElNono]

Hill with a solid Manu impersonation...

[ElNono]

:lol George Ginobili tbh


Hill with a solid Manu impersonation...

:lol

[jeebus]

Lolbert

[baseline bum]

Pacers looking scared

[smaka]

:lol Hibbert

[RsxPiimp]

Hibbert softer than a wet tissue

[ElNono]

Heat getting catfished

[~O~]

Paul George traveled...

[Muser]

Miami have been really, really bad on D today.

[Mugen]

Wow, a lot of blown opportunities for Miami.

[jeebus]

Tech but not a flagrant?

[RsxPiimp]

Champs losing compusre :lol

[smaka]

Chalmers with the bads, per usual.

[Mugen]

That's absolutely a flagrant tbh.

[~O~]

That was not a play on the ball. Pushed the guy when he was near mid air.

[RsxPiimp]

Thats a flagrant, MarioChalmers, bitch made like always :lmao

[Muser]

How is that not a flagrant rofl

[D-Wade]

Seriously? Ejection? On a play that started with Watson initiating the contact???

[smaka]

Not surprised by that move, Chalmers has always been ugly af.

[jeebus]

:lol the fat shit wants to get ejected so he can eat some footlongs in the locker room

[Mugen]

:lol not an ejection doe. C'mon JVG, You better than that, Jeff Van Gundy!

[Muser]

Ok they called it a flagrant.

What a bitch made move

[Malik Hairston]

:lol CJ Watson with a clear offensive foul, Chalmers retaliates, now it's a flagrant..smh..

[BatManu20]

Does CJ Watson really have the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign tatted on his arm? :lol

[D-Wade]

:lol CJ Watson with a clear offensive foul, Chalmers retaliates, now it's a flagrant..smh..

:toast

[baseline bum]

Chambers get tossed? I got the sound off.

[jeebus]

Someone needs to cut Jackson's throat

[Mugen]

:lol A flagrant and a tech?

[ElNono]

So now Indy needs a 4 point play for the famous 7-point play

[Mugen]

:lol holy crap, that Paul George turnover

[BatManu20]

Pacers deserve to lose this game tbh. Shitty passing, horrible turnovers, lazy defense.

[Mugen]

Pacers better hope the refs continue to bail them out if they're gonna play that stupidly for the rest of the game tbh....

[DPG21920]

Bosh going to cry post game. He will be an emotional wreck after getting benched :lol

[Malik Hairston]

:lol 3 points + possession on a CJ Watson push off..when did he become a superstar, tbh?..nigga looking like Harden out there..

[Spur-Addict]

Hanging around, hanging around. Miami has al-li-ga-tor blood

[jeebus]

Bosh going to cry post game. He will be an emotional wreck after getting benched :lol
:lol

[Malik Hairston]

And it's amazing how :(superstar in his prime:( Chris Bosh gets eliminated from big games so easily, tbh:lol..

[Robz4000]

Pacers are pretty terrible tbh.

[LakerHater]

WTF, he woulda had 4 FTs!?

[DPG21920]

Hibbert calls these dudes the Miami Paychecks. These guys made Hibbert all his money.

[RsxPiimp]

Amazing how good ray Allen is considering his age and mileage. Wow.

[Clipper Nation]

That cute little team chucking up fluke-ass shots :lol

[sook]

I don't know why...but I just can't root for the pacers.

[RsxPiimp]

Pacers got the champs right they want them.

[LakerHater]

Back to 14!!

[Spur-Addict]

Wrap it up B

[testies]

game

[Venti Quattro]

Non-issue

[~O~]

That's how you play basketball with a lead.

[Crookshanks]

I don't know why...but I just can't root for the pacers.

I'll root for anyone who plays against the Heat! They're the Lakers of the east.

[IrisHockey]

:lol how many backdoor sweeps have we seen from the Heat under LBJ? 3, 4?

[jag]

Who do the Spurs match up better with? THIS Pacers team or the Heat?

[Mugen]

A terrible performance from the Heat today. Game 2 will be interesting since they'll undoubtedly play MUCH better.

[Mugen]

Who do the Spurs match up better with? THIS Pacers team or the Heat?

:lol Absolutely the Pacers. not even close.

[RsxPiimp]

Sup with Lebron today. So passive.

[jeebus]

[Malik Hairston]

Who do the Spurs match up better with? THIS Pacers team or the Heat?

Spurs beat Miami in 5 or 6 IMO, and sweep Indiana IMO, if Parker is healthy..

[jag]

:lol Absolutely the Pacers. not even close.

Yeah I think so too. I've been trying to talk myself out of it, but it's not happening.

[Muser]

Who do the Spurs match up better with? THIS Pacers team or the Heat?

Pacers by far, although the Spurs could take either.

[jag]

Spurs beat Miami in 5 IMO, and sweep Indiana IMO, if Parker is healthy..

What's different with this Miami team vs last year? I don't watch them much, tbh.

[RsxPiimp]

Hibbert with a jaw dropping 7 boards :wow

[Mugen]

Yeah I think so too. I've been trying to talk myself out of it, but it's not happening.

Indy, regardless of how they play, would be the easiest team the Spurs face in the playoffs if they were able to the Finals.

[Nathan89]

5 on the Indy votes in the poll since this game has started. Something tells me this game influenced the votes.

[LakerHater]

They're coasting this year tbh

Wooooooow!

[RsxPiimp]

Wow, look at that FT disparity tho CRAZY

[jeebus]

They're coasting this year tbh
Nig, they've been coasting since they signed their contracts.

[Nathan89]

NBA really want that Spurs-Indiana Finals. Rigged league just wants the highest ratings possible

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs beat Miami in 5 or 6 IMO, and sweep Indiana IMO, if Parker is healthy..


Don't give up on your team that quickly. Miami has Indiana right where they want them.

[Robz4000]

4-point play

[Muser]

Damn LeBron

[DPG21920]

Lebron's stats are just sick. That's with having to bang with West. It's amazing how good he is that when you watch you think he hasn't played "that great".

[Mugen]

wade has been terrible in the 2nd half.

[jeebus]

what da fuck kinda shot was that?

[BatManu20]

What the hell Lance Stephenson doing? :lol

[Hoops Czar]

Indy, regardless of how they play, would be the easiest team the Spurs face in the playoffs if they were able to the Finals.


That would be the 2007 Cavs.

[jag]

:lol what the fuck was that shot from Lance

[Bynumite]

Ex-spur from Indy is a fucking scrub.

[RsxPiimp]

Game over. What's the formula for Game 2 heat fans.

[Mugen]

Today isn't a surprise tbh. If Indy had lost today, I would have said Miami would sweep.

Now they have a legit shot at winning this series. But Game 2 is critical as Miami will play 20x better.

[Muser]

Lebron's stats are just sick. That's with having to bang with West. It's amazing how good he is that when you watch you think he hasn't played "that great".

Just thought that when I saw he's not far off a trip double. Insane how it seems that's an average, unspectacular game.

[Robz4000]

Yep, Indy has to win game 2 to seriously threaten to win the series.

[jeebus]

Today isn't a surprise tbh. If Indy had lost today, I would have said Miami would sweep.

Now they have a legit shot at winning this series. But Game 2 is critical as Miami will play 20x better.
Well if Indy wins the next three, they have a real good shot of going to the Finals.

Potential Goat

[Killakobe81]

wade has been terrible in the 2nd half.

Lance running dem knees tbh ...lol

[smaka]

I actually have Indy winning game 1. We'll see, looking forward to this early game.

[Mugen]

If you're Spo, you have to start big in Game 2 IMO. I thought Hibbert/West set a tone early and were aggressive inside freeing up some good looks in the perimeter for Indy. You can't let a team that struggles offensively to have those good looks.

Bosh won't shoot that bad in Game 2 and Haslem is capable of hitting a jumper so I think the spacing issue will correct itself.

Bron will be much better but him having to guard West for heavy minutes will take its toll over the course of a game/series....

[StrengthAndHonor]

Well if Indy wins the next three, they have a real good shot of going to the Finals.

http://i.imgur.com/Id4gU.gif

Doubt it. they need to win 3 games and be up by 20 in game at the half 4 if they want a chance.

[smaka]

:lmao Already blowing your load.

:lol

I disagree, but it's probably a coin toss on what to do. I think they should stick with the small. Their best runs came when small. The game got out of hand in the third quarter and that was when they went big. Their spacing was awful.

[baseline bum]

So will Indiana ever score 100 in this series again?

[jeebus]

Quick, someone injure Allen

[smaka]

GG Pacers. 3 more.

[jeebus]

:cry last year, this would've been Penderfag time :cry

[D-Wade]

Our bench isn't what it used to be so Bosh is going to have to do better. Can't have a game 7 finals performance and expect to come out on top.

[Mugen]

I disagree, but it's probably a coin toss on what to do. I think they should stick with the small. Their best runs came when small. The game got out of hand in the third quarter and that was when they went big. Their spacing was awful.

If it was still the Roy from the Atlanta series than I agree with staying small. But Hibbert gets a massive chubby every time he plays Miami, pretty undeniable at this point as he put up 19/9 today despite not shooting well.

When he's that engaged, he's still a force especially against the team with the weakest interior left in the playoffs.

Harlem/CN: "told ya Heat do not get calls" ...
Awaiting on thread ...

Whiny Spurs fans: well Silver I am sure wants his first Finals to be potentially Indy/SA.
JVG shifting on Harlem's theory Heat fouled, Indy didn't.

[ElNono]

Pretty impressed with Indy this game...

Well, while ROY playes well against MIA, you can still survive him scoring 20 PPG and win. You can't survive him making a massive defensive impact at the same time.

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Chalk this down as a a game that the Champs didn't bother to show up for. Indiana had a fluke offensive game. That shit isn't going to last, tbh.

[Mugen]

Vogel deserves a lot of credit, especially since Spo was pretty erratic this game.

Evan Turner being glued to the bench would be a huge boost for the Pacers moving forward tbh....

[ElNono]

:lol Chalk this down as a a game that the Champs didn't bother to show up for. Indiana had a fluke offensive game. That shit isn't going to last, tbh.

:lol will make a nice intro to the championship DVD... amirite?

[Malik Hairston]

What's different with this Miami team vs last year? I don't watch them much, tbh.

They're just progressively worse due to aging/fatigue from the 4th title run, tbh..

Losing Mike Miller also hurts, too, since they had 0 shooters shoot over 40% from 3 during the regular season..he was also a much better rebounder/passer/defender than Allen/James Jones..

Ray Allen and Battier look completely finished as players, too(Battier was finished last year, to be fair)..the Spurs just matchup very well with them, and I have to assume that Pop learned a lot from last year's Finals(such as putting a leash on Manu in a potential Heat-Spurs series:lol)..

[Mugen]

Well, while ROY playes well against MIA, you can still survive him scoring 20 PPG and win. You can't survive him making a massive defensive impact at the same time.

It'll be interesting. I think they start big especially when Battier isn't giving you anything.

[BatManu20]

This just ensures that Miami will win game 2 and eventually the series tbh.

Ray still has clutch 3s left in him before Miami is done.

[Killakobe81]

I'm guessing James Jones will hit some 3s especially when they get back to Miami.

[BatManu20]

Minus the Finals I suppose

468150370414239744

[StrengthAndHonor]

Game over. What's the formula for Game 2 heat fans.
Offensively they're fine but Lebron needs to average 30+ and bring them offensively. I'd also like to see Miami attack the rim more, just demoralize Hibbert since he's as soft as they can be.

Defensively the Pacers are getting whatever they want. Good news is Indiana's not exactly a great offensive team . Easy fix for Miami at this point. In photography world, we call this a test shoot. :lol

[Killakobe81]

Would love to see Indy win with LeBron playing well. But I think this game is fool's gold.

[Malik Hairston]

Ray Allen will make 3s at some point, but I imagine Pop is going to destroy him if the Spurs make the Finals, tbh..

Pop has done a great job of strategizing against defensive weak links in the playoffs, so far(Dirk, Blair, Lillard)..

If the spurs play the pacers...I'd be surprised if Indy took even 1 game.

[Killakobe81]

Spurs in 6

[AchillesHeel]

Game 1 showed me that Pacers really have no answer for Lebron and that Wade is relatively healthy. Would have liked to see Bosh produce more and that starting line-up by Spo really blew right back in their faces with all the threes they gave up on the other end and how Hibbert managed to get to the line and get offensive boards.

Indy won a game at home as I expected, I see Miami making adjustments and going home 1-1.

[StrengthAndHonor]

But it's also worth noting that fatigue may have taken its toll too. 4 straight NBA Finals is a daunting task, especially for a team that is so reliant on one player. Even the Lakers who had Kobe and Shaq couldn't deliver, despite having a better cast, and that's two Superstars.

Who does? I get your point but dont see how that is different than every other series.

Nice win for the Pacers. I just wish the Warriors had waited to fire Jackson until after the play-offs were over!

[JohnnyMax]

Should've kept Mike Miller

true.


I said earlier that the Pacers have to scrap for 48 minutes in order to win, and today, they did just that. The Pacers didn't took a possession off, minus some stupid turnovers from Lance. There's that one play in the 4th quarter during a Wade fastbreak and 4 Pacers made it down the court and made him lose the ball. You don't see that fro the Pacers during the first 2 rounds. They really want this series.

[Thebesteva]

This Miami team is unbelievably stacked Strength, the problem is Lebron is so good it overshadows the rest of the cast. In case I need to remind you its stacked with one Megastar in Lebron, a superstar in Wade, an all star in Bosh, and another all star in Ray allen. Let's not forget the most important element is the group of guys who are seasoned vets such as Birdman who is a dream hustle type of player, Shane fucking Battier, Udonis Haslem, and Mario Chamers. Only in a team this stacked could Michael Beasley and Rashard Lewis be rendered as useless.

Who did that Laker team have past Kobe and Shaq? Rick Fox, Robert Horry, Derek Fisher, and Horace Grant? :lol

[RsxPiimp]

Nice win for the Pacers. I just wish the Warriors had waited to fire Jackson until after the play-offs were over!

he's not even that bad. could be worse, like having Reggie.

[will_spurs]

To the contrary I thought Miami looked very mortal. The refs helped a bit (big FT disparity, even though I'm not saying it wasn't warranted), but globally the Heat didn't look like they had much left in the tank, and Lebron never managed to take over. They'll have to play a lot better, especially since the Pacers weren't playing that great.

[Malik Hairston]

Pacers shot 37 free throws( :lmao ), 8-19 from 3s, and got an efficient performance from all their rotation players..that probably won't happen every game, tbh:lol..

Miami got a great offensive performance from Wade, though, which isn't going to happen every game, obviously..

:lol the pacers shot the lights out, they played a great game and i don't think they'll have a better one. pacers can't win playing this game, they need to flip the script and emphasize in stopping miami rather than outscoring from here on out.

Not so sure Pop will have a short leash on Manu. I guess we'll find out during this series.

it's what i've been saying all along. he looked even better this year.

The Pacers defended well tbh

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Another poorly reffed game in the 2014 playoffs..this time in favor of Indiana. Indiana getting the OKC treatment was strange to watch. I'm surprised this isn't being talked about more. I know most of you are too cool to whine about the refs but shits obvious.

how is that nig's knee doing? worse than last year, better or about the same?

[Koolaid_Man]

No,comment from Kool yall carry on.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

This is why I can respect Miami from afar. It's very rare for them to ride along the refs' coattails en route to a championship. I mean the last time it happened was in 2006. Miami even overcame biased reffing in favor of the spurs in the 2013 nba finals.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

It'd be a travesty if a fraudulent, ref-propped team like OKC makes it to the finals against a legitimate monster like Miami.

[spurraider21]

?I didn't watch the game, so I cant draw any conclusions, but the "Miami losing game 1 just ensures they win this series" is some of the most laughable bullshit I've ever read on this site... Implying Indy was better off dropping a game 1 home game :lol

It's because it's not the Heat getting all those foodstamps, reverse the teams and there would be a meltdown for the ages :lol

There was no meltdown after LeBron shot more free throws than the nets in game 5

[HI-FI]

I try to be fair and balanced. I've said on here that I think Miami doesn't get nearly the calls that prime Rapist did or Thunderefs. I didn't watch a whole lot of this game though, I was too busy catching up on SpursTalk. :depressed

Well I mean exorbitant free throw disparities are always a red flag, but I'd have to actually watch the game and manually count up all of the ticky tack fouls called against and in favor of both teams to make a proper assessment. But, I'll take your word for it if you watched the series.

[Ricky Davis]

If the spurs play the pacers...I'd be surprised if Indy took even 1 game.

actually idk about that. The Spurs matchup horribly with Indiana (the good Indiana not the emo :cry somebody banged my wife :cry version)

Both West and Aldridge are somewhat similar with their mutual love for the mid range jumper. Spurs have gotten decent practice handling those types of players with Dirk and Aldridge. Of course that's just one guy, but West is typically the guy that kills us when we lose to Indiana.

[Mugen]

:lol What? Spurs match up perfectly with the Pacers tbh.

Duncan could check Hibbert, Tiago on West, Kawhi on PG, Green on Stephenson, Spurs bench >>>> Indy Bench.

I don't see a single matchup advantage for Indy in that series outside of PG/Kawhi tbh.......

[Malik Hairston]

:lol Spurs aren't losing to a team that can't score, tbh..

[spurraider21]

actually idk about that. The Spurs matchup horribly with Indiana (the good Indiana not the emo :cry somebody banged my wife :cry version)
Oh contrare... Indy has no matchups to exploit. Hibbert only plays well against teams with shitty bigs, like Miami. Kawhi is a solid matchup for George. West would struggle against splitter, and Stephenson won't look like an all star against green. In the meantime Parker would just destroy George hill who is an atrocious pick and roll defender

Indy is an extremely shitty version of the spurs imo...really lacking in the discipline department. Matchup wise too...I just don't see how Indy can stand a chance.

[Arcadian]

God I would love a Spurs-Pacers finals.....I would jizz my pants.....but I still don't think it's gonna happen. It'll end up being Thunder-Heat, and I'll just kill myself :cry

[Dverde]

I want Lance Stephenson to sign with OKC in the offseason. Just imagine him and Bestbrook taking turns dribbling the ball up and running the clock down and chucking a three. Finding new ways to not feed the best player on your team.

[baseline bum]

There was no meltdown after LeBron shot more free throws than the nets in game 5

Except for a certain celticfan, can't remember his name tbh

That is his career avg 3pt %. I know he's was shooting 50% in the first 2 series but I'm still surprised at the number he jacks. He's not consistent from beyond the arc.

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lmao People really think Indiana is going to eliminate Miami? This is the 5th time the Heatle's have lost game 1 in the 3 Kings era. and they went on to win the previous 4 and will prevail in this one. They have faced elimination a few times as well. They have experienced everything together. Indiana scored over 100 points today. It doesn't get anymore flukish than that. Despite Indiana playing out of their minds today, Miami was hanging around all afternoon, tbh. This was Indiana's best punch, and it was hardly impressive.

:lol It hasn't exactly been a kind few days for you. Today gave you some false hope. You still have to get past OKC, but you'll still have to get through Miami to win the title. Miami is winning the 2014 title. I'll be right. This is about to be a Dynasty which is something you can't say about your cute little spurs, tbh.

its actually been some very kind days :lol. the raiders had a great draft, the spurs are back in the conference finals, ibaka is out, and miami dropped game 1. i still fully expect miami to win the series, but its nice to see your overcompensating bravado masking your concern over a game 1 loss to the only eastern conference team that can give you a good match. this aint charlotte anymore :lol

[spurraider21]

I'll be right.
lets examine...

Not a terrible start. Only down 7. Indiana won't keep going like this all game. Miami will adjust.
:lol

Indiana is starting to slow down. Miami has to keep at it. They can get this game under control pretty quickly.


Indy is playing lights out on offense and only have a 6 point lead. Miami is in excellent shape, tbh.
:lmao

Miami is in great shape. After all of that, they are only down 10. They'll make adjustments and take control in the 3rd. Indiana is playing way over their heads, tbh.
:lmao

Bang! Back down to 13. Miami still hanging around despite Indiana playing lights out.
"back down to 13" reeks of desperation :lol

Miami is still hanging around despite EVERYTHING Indy has thrown at them. :lmao
hanging around aka not making any progess

[spurraider21]

good luck in game 2 though :toast

[rogues]

:lmao My nigga Daunte making the scrub go into meltdown mode over one game..kinda like the one Phillip/Stretch made him go into after game 7, tbh..

[dg7md]

Heatfan is delusional in most cases. Sure, the Heat had a shot to come back to win that game, but they didn't: the Pacers have the Heat's number in a lot of crucial matchups. I'm curious to see how this series goes if that Pacer team shows up every night, even if just every home game.

:lol Just admit you don't want any part of Miami in the Finals. You'll feel so much better getting those feelings out. You want Indiana because that would guarantee a Finals victory for the Spurs, and you can all get drunk with margaritas on the River Walk.

Now back to reality...that isn't going to happen. IF the Spurs somehow get past OKC, they'll have to take the title away from Miami which we all know isn't going to happen. The Spurs may have homecourt, but Miami can win anywhere. Miami is going to cement their place as a true dynasty, and the Spurs will be nothing more than just be a part of their history.

Shit, I'd argue that the Kawhi/PG matchup would be a draw due to the fact they'd prolly put PG against Tony while Leonard would be guarded by Stephenson/Hill.

I have absolutely no fears of Miami. It took a fluke incident (one you cannot even deny) to even have won over us. We were about to celebrate on your floor in six.

That being said, I congratulate the Heat on manning up and showing up legit in game 7, but I have no fears of Miami and the passion of our Spurs team this year.

The Pacers defended well tbh

defense was fine, that wasn't the reason they won the game. Ft's and a very uncharacteristic great shooting from the pacers killed miami. the pacers are not going to score like this again in game 2. if they want any hopes of winning that game, they need to really step up because miami will attack. expect the heat's 3 to start falling too.

I was the first to vote Indiana not that anyone should care. I just want to get lit up for it.

Anyway, if Indiana wins today's game like the SHOULD, they will be able to win the rest of this series.

For the past three years, this team has had to go through the Heat...failing each and every time but getting one game better every year. If they don't win this game, I completely doubt they'll win the series and will forever never win any type of championships from then on.

There have been talented teams that cold have won multiple championships like the mid 2000's Suns but couldn't get over the top because they kept getting plain and simple.......bitched.

To conclude, the Pacers need to stop being bitches.

[Malik Hairston]

Lebron better not coast tonight, tbh..

Miami closing this one out with ease in 5. Why is anyone even watching these games?

[spurraider21]

If Miami wins this game, they should be able to close this out at home in game 6. Indiana needs this game just as much as Miami does imo
