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

[lefty]

Lol Lebron was still thinking about the Bucks girl

[Nathan89]

Ray Allen on Paul George could take out his legs on offense tbh. Heat can't afford to lose his sharp shooting.

[midnightpulp]

The weak link is Crissy Bosh. He's in his "prime" and doesn't impact the game in the least. Terrible defender, average rebounder, and limited offensively outside of the mid-range.

They won despite him last year, but finding that lucky rebound made everyone forget Bosh's weaknesses.

[Nathan89]

lol LeBron guarding George hill

[HI-FI]

Lol Lebron was still thinking about the Bucks girl
:lol

[Budkin]

I wouldn't count Miami out even if they go down 2-0..

Agreed. I just don't see any way the Pacers win a 7 game series.

[Malik Hairston]

Bosh looks a lot better when Wade isn't on the floor with him, tbh..

Wade was really, really bad in last year's playoffs, worse than Bosh..

[spurraider21]

miami looks like they're going to win this one

[jeebus]

Lol Lebron was still thinking about the Bucks girl
"Meh. Too old."

- Birdman

[BC3]

can someone tell me if spo came out small ball or what adjustments have been made since game 1

[D-Wade]

Bosh looks a lot better when Wade isn't on the floor with him, tbh..

Wade was really, really bad in last year's playoffs, worse than Bosh..

Kinda true. Bosh was more consistent, even though they were both pretty damn inconsistent but when Wade showed up (gms 4, 5 & 7 against you guys) he had more impact.

[D-Wade]

Haslem started.

[Malik Hairston]

Kinda true. Bosh was more consistent, even though they were both pretty damn inconsistent but when Wade showed up (gms 4, 5 & 7 against you guys) he had more impact.

Wade has looked really good against Indiana through 5 quarters, so far, at least..a lot better than Bosh..

[mystargtr34]

:lol Mahinmi still hasn't earned how to make a defensive rotation.

[mystargtr34]

Wade just looks like he bogs down the offence when he's on the floor with LeBron and Bosh .

[IrisHockey]

Miami's defense has actually declined every year.. it was fucking suffocating in 2011, but still pretty good today

[rogues]

:lol Miami has turned on the switch. Only a matter of time, tbh..

[da_suns_fan]

God I hate Mark Jackson in the booth.

[RD2191]

:lolAnthony Davis would destroy LBJ. Guard and player 1-5 my ass.

[spurraider21]

holy shit, scola is awful

[DPG21920]

Bosh gets an enormous amount of hate and I find it ridiculous. Bosh plays a great role on MIA and without him they would have been screwed the past few years. He knowingly takes a lesser role on offense - that's his job to space the floor and he's turned himself into a serviceable 3 point shooter too..

He does a very good job on defense for the most part, but yes, he has drifted in some games.

[Budkin]

God I hate Mark Jackson in the booth.

Same here. Total sympathy move letting him back in already.

[Budkin]

He does a very good job on defense for the most part, but yes, he has drifted in some games.

Spurs fans talked about getting him most off seasons until the Heatles formed.

[RD2191]

:lolrefs

[jeebus]

So. This is the best the East has to offer? :lmao

[RD2191]

:lolrefs

[spurraider21]

miami wins this one by 15+ the way Indy's offense is going. they need to keep scola off the floor, period

[celticfan]

Miami getting a favorable whistle. Absolutely nothing new there.

[spurraider21]

that out of bounds foul was the correct call tbh

[ImDaNuts]

What the fuck is LeBron doing? Just take it to the basket....always looking for the pass.

[midnightpulp]

Don't know why Indy just doesn't force feed Hibbert every time down. It's how they forced Miami to 7 last year.

[Budkin]

So. This is the best the East has to offer? :lmao

Seriously. Either of these teams is in for a rude awakening in the Finals.

[DPG21920]

For a must win game where MIA essentially knows they need a W, INDY is doing just fine. As long as they keep it close, they are in good shape because even their terrible offense is getting enough good looks.

[Nathan89]

Don't know why Indy just doesn't force feed Hibbert every time down. It's how they forced Miami to 7 last year.

Especially if Bosh start trying to trap like the last play. Make Bosh expend his energy on trapping and guarding Hibbert.

[Clipper Nation]

Miami getting a favorable whistle. Absolutely nothing new there.

Celticfan hypocritically crying about refs... absolutely nothing new there :lol

[ElNono]

:lol makeup calls...

[spurraider21]

kevin durant thinks miami is playing beautiful basketball this quarter

[spurraider21]

:lol they seriously need to get scola off the floor

0-4 with 2 fouls in 8 minutes

[midnightpulp]

Seriously. Either of these teams is in for a rude awakening in the Finals.

If we get there, I fear neither of these teams.

I just fear our penchant for choking.

[~O~]

In one game, Pacers fans have become the best fans. Finally, some create chants.

[ElNono]

:lol they seriously need to get scola off the floor

0-4 with 2 fouls in 8 minutes

They can't... West has 3 fouls

[baseline bum]

I wouldn't count Miami out even if they go down 2-0..

I wouldn't count Miami out in this series if they went down 3-0.

[Budkin]

If we get there, I fear neither of these teams.

I just fear our penchant for choking.

Two consecutive years of choking gives us "the appropriate fear." :lol

[spurraider21]

They can't... West has 3 fouls
play anybody else tbh. what happened to that pedergraph guy

[Nathan89]

I thought scola use to have some ability to post up.

[ElNono]

play anybody else tbh. what happened to that pedergraph guy

there u go

[ImDaNuts]

When the Heat play like that nobody is going to stop them.

[spurraider21]

i'm glad mark jackson has the courtesy to remind us that the sport we are watching is indeed basketball

[SAtown]

:lmao

[celticfan]

Miami is such a bitch team. They know they have the refs in their pocket so they reach, reach and reach. I seriously hate that team.

[IrisHockey]

:lmao spurs sending their clock management guy to Indiana

[Venti Quattro]

Miami doing Miami things

[DPG21920]

Wow - great play there.

[celticfan]

You can see the herpes on Dwayne Wade when he speaks. He's a walking Petri dish of sexually transmitted diseases. Fucking faggot.

[~O~]

I think this game has been fair. The Pacers just need to stop hesitating on shooting and have the confidence in their shots. Greg Popovich would be on players for shitting themselves on an open shot.

[Clipper Nation]

Miami is such a bitch team. They know they have the refs in their pocket so they reach, reach and reach. I seriously hate that team.
^ Bitchmade fan!

[benefactor]

Indy back to being Indy. This series is over.

[IrisHockey]

Miami is such a bitch team. They know they have the refs in their pocket so they reach, reach and reach. I seriously hate that team.

:lol protect your balls next time.

[IrisHockey]

:lol LeBron will put up 25 in the second half on 10 for 12.

[Nathan89]

West is a must have for the Pacers offense to function. Hopefully they don't call a quick one on him.

[DPG21920]

Paul George was awful, Scola was terrible and West was in foul trouble and INDY is down 4?

[benefactor]

Paul George was awful, Scola was terrible and West was in foul trouble and INDY is down 4?
James was a non factor as well.

[celticfan]

LOL there are some overnight Heat fans mad in this place.

[DPG21920]

James was a non factor as well.

Sure, but this is the "must win" game for MIA, no?

[DPG21920]

Big third quarter, I think if West stays out of foul trouble, INDY is getting goo enough looks. They just have to take care of the ball.

[DPG21920]

Boom!

[celticfan]

LOL watch the refs change the way they are calling the game so that Miami gets the benefit.

[Brazil]

Lebron better not coast tonight, tbh..

He coasted a bunch first half tbh

[resistanze]

Lance carrying this team

[Spur-Addict]

Lance is going in

[lefty]

Knee flare

[ElNono]

lol born ready

[DPG21920]

Good game :tu. Getting physical and aggressive.

[resistanze]

lol born ready

[ElNono]

:lol born actor

[resistanze]

Norris Cole is terrible. Toronto Raptors bench material.

[ElNono]

BANG

[DPG21920]

Alright, I'm actually going to cuss for this one

:lmao Tha fuck?

[resistanze]

Lance Stephenson doesn't even look like an NBA player tbh :lol

[ElNono]

funny too, because I imagine Stephenson being the model player for a guy like Mark Jackson :lol

[lefty]

Lol that ballhog

Glorified JR Smith

[Nathan89]

This is entertaining.

[Spur-Addict]

Safe to say that Lance will be making quite a bit more than 900,000 next season.

[capek]

"mama, there goes that man." ughh did I not miss his moronic, cliched dibble. :rolleyes

[Spur-Addict]

Lol that ballhog

Glorified JR Smith

Pretty much :lol

But he's much better with contact IMO

[~O~]

The Pacers confidence on the rise. This is the type of urgency they'll need to win. Now they need to go up big to avoid....INTERFERENCE.

[DPG21920]

Lance, if he had any sort of brain, could be a fine basketball player obviously. He brings the unmitigated goods though. It's like watching a "Who's Line Is It Anyways" with a basketball.

[Strange Love]

Damn

[ElNono]

crofl defense

[~O~]

Corner three offense.

[spurraider21]

Norris Cole and Paul George both have 8 points... surprised Indy is up

[Nathan89]

Not bad but it could be much better for Indy.

[Strange Love]

Going to be a good one coming down to the wire.

[mystargtr34]

Indy helping way too much of those short corner 3s.

[Splits]

MVP candidate 3-14. Only reason Indy is in this game is Hibbert on the O-glass.

[DPG21920]

These are the types of games that INDY lost last year vs MIA when they had a legit shot to knock them out. If they want to change their fortunes, it starts tonight. They have to play an incredibly clean brand of basketball this fourth quarter. They need to keep the pace up a little bit and continue to move the ball without turning it over. They are not a good one v one team outside of PG and he's struggling. Move the ball and get a heavy dose of West/Hibbert (if he gets good position).

[Trainwreck2100]

Norris Cole and Paul George both have 8 points... surprised Indy is up

LeBron only has 10

[Mal]

Indy helping way too much of those short corner 3s.

You dont help there at all.

[celticfan]

Going to be a good one coming down to the wire.
Are you kidding? Do you really think the NBA will let it's golden boy and his colluded team of superstars go down 0-2. Miami easily wins this because of the officiating.

[lefty]

If you can't stop Letongue 1 on 1, then let him beat you with a 2.
Yes a 3 pointer is a lower % shot, but Miami is just too good with corner 3's


Vogel has apparently never heard of scouting reports

[~O~]

They need to live with Lebron James taking it up. Let LeBron beat with.

[DPG21920]

If TP had a game like PG, fans would lose their sh*t. INDY needs to realize that Hibbert doesn't need so much help. Stay closer to the shooters on defense.

[Hoops Czar]

Last thing I want is to see Indy win this series.

[Spur-Addict]

Paul George is killing his team

[Nathan89]

Heat hitting all the must makes

[resistanze]

Wow at that Indy help D

[DPG21920]

INDY doing literally the exact opposite of playing clean basketball :lol

[Seventyniner]

1) Catch defense napping
2) Catch ball wide open under basket
3) ???
4) Blow open layup

[baseline bum]

Norris Cole is the Heat version of Devean George. Completely worthless player who lucks into stealing one huge game and who will get overpaid by some stupid team in a year or two.

[Spur-Addict]

Scooollllaaaa

[Seventyniner]

fwiw this is a great game to watch on mute.

[noles1983]

larry bird is one ugly fuck

[DPG21920]

Hibbert doing work right now on defense. Big shot by GH3

[Venti Quattro]

Norris Cole is the Heat version of Devean George. Completely worthless player who lucks into stealing one huge game and who will get overpaid by some stupid team in a year or two.
And they both are about to win three-peats

[~O~]

Those free throw line and baseline extended misses are killing Indiana right now. Champions make simple shots. Indiana needs to make simple shots look easy.

[spurraider21]

Spurfan has to have nothing but love for George Hill. dude was a very good player for us, a coach/fan favorite. he played so well that Parker's value got lowered and we got a steal of a deal wit him, then we got Kawhi out of him :lol

[spurraider21]

how did hibbert actually go for games at a time without a single rebound?

[BC3]

And they both are about to win three-peats

:lmao

[Brazil]

Lebron chillin on the bench :lol

[noles1983]

wade needs more illegal drugs

[~O~]

Two knees for good luck

[celticfan]

Wade is a dirty piece of shit.

[Nathan89]

That's like three fouls on Wade

[Nathan89]

Held his arm and then kicked him in the head twice. Ref didn't see a thing.

[Brazil]

Haslem is -20 so far :lol

[lefty]

Pacers getting away with fluke 3s.

[Brazil]

Pg letting Lebron wide open ya good idea

[Brazil]

Here we go feed Hib

[Budkin]

:lol Stephenson

[Brazil]

:lol west

[Spur-Addict]

Not a flagrant

[~O~]

WHAT SHOVE?

[DPG21920]

West has missed a ton of West-like shots.

[celticfan]

Are you kidding? :lmao:lmao:lmao what a fucking piece of shit flopper

[Budkin]

:lol he didn't even push him

[ElNono]

this is where Indy either takes the next step or keeps on being the cute little team...

[baseline bum]

James pulling a Durant

[ImDaNuts]

Not a flagrant.

[Nathan89]

This is not a flagrant

[Budkin]

No WAY that's a flagrant.

[Brazil]

Not a flagrant

[lefty]

:lol that black dude wearing Google Glasses

[~O~]

4:19 in. What will the Pacers do to lose....

[crc21209]

Good call. :tu It shouldnt have been a flagrant..

[Budkin]

OMG the refs got it right. It's a miracle!

[DPG21920]

Seen LBJ miss a lot of FT's in this type of situation..

[Seventyniner]

West got the ball first, some refs might not even have called anything if it wasn't LeBron involved.

[~O~]

LOL

[Robz4000]

Both teams played hard

[baseline bum]

this is where Indy either takes the next step or keeps on being the cute little team...

West can't see shit and they're supposed to win this game? Not seeing it.

[Spur-Addict]

Indiana just making a lot of small mistakes.

[celticfan]

Lebron James needs to have a debilitating injury for all the flopping he's always done. He's seriously a piece of shit. This guy is suppose to be the face of the league? Get out of here!

[spurraider21]

Paul George and David West have combined for 9-30 from the field and yet they're right there

[lefty]

West missing a lot of open Js

[ImDaNuts]

West looks like he just smoked a few bowls

[Spur-Addict]

Hibbert :rollin

[Robz4000]

West can't see shit and they're supposed to win this game? Not seeing it.

Oh you!

[Budkin]

:lol Hibbert just hands it over.

[Brazil]

this is where Indy either takes the next step or keeps on being the cute little team...

Yup

[ElNono]

Hibbert just can't do that

[Seventyniner]

The Pacers are playing with one hand on their throat...the Heat are just waiting for that other hand to go there too.

[celticfan]

Just tear your hamstring. Please Lebron.

[crc21209]

Uh oh Indy..

[baseline bum]

Paul Goerge sucks :lol

[Relevancy]

Wow what a gift to lebron there

[IrisHockey]

That's what champions do :toast

[DPG21920]

James taking over..

[baseline bum]

Nice hustle, Hill. :lmao

[crc21209]

George Hill being George Hill...

[~O~]

Those boys are choking

[Relevancy]

Heat got this

[resistanze]

:lol LeBron raked the shit outta Hill

[Brazil]

That was a fool

[celticfan]

:lmao:lmao Lebron getting away with a CLEAR as day foul

[IrisHockey]

:lol Indy will never take it to the next step with their current core of mental midgets..

[Budkin]

Knew the Pacers weren't winning this shit.

[ezau]

Game.

[Nathan89]

Paul George playing poor defense to end the game.

[Robz4000]

Game

[baseline bum]

Miami in 6

[spurraider21]

Indy just crumbling

[BanditHiro]

the Kang gonna Kang.

[celticfan]

Of course that will go unnoticed and fags like Clipper Nation and IrisHockey will praise Lebron like sheep. So bitchmade!

[Spur-Addict]

So many small mistakes killing Indy

[~O~]

Turnover..Turonver Turonver. Three turnovers

[lefty]

Rofl Hill

[crc21209]

Really...:lol

[ElNono]

Paul Ginobili

[~O~]

[Spur-Addict]

It's over

[resistanze]

Superstar George

[spurraider21]

seriously, another turnover :lol

not being able to score is one thing, not being able to execute an offensive set is another. 10-0 run :lol

[spurraider21]

too little, too late. after 3 minute of vomitball, pacers wont win this one

[D-Wade]

Leggo!

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol The Champs doing what they do best...finding ways to win.

[IrisHockey]

The 3 time champ does it again.. how many times have we seen this?

[Budkin]

That home court the Pacers wanted so bad... gone.

[Nathan89]

West needs to take it at Bosh much more than he currently does.

[poeticism707]

Paul Ginobili

:rollin:rollin:rollin

[baseline bum]

So many small mistakes killing Indy

They look like a lot of pretty major mistakes tbh

[DPG21920]

Great job by MIA. They have done what they needed to do so far and have played a much more clean 4th.

[ElNono]

:lol The Champs doing what they do best...finding ways to win.

:lol sup Trayshawn... are you at Nancy's party?

[HemisfairArena]

Series Over.

[TIMMYtoZO]

too little, too late. after 3 minute of vomitball, pacers wont win this one

:lmao What a shitty evening this is turning out to be for you.

[~O~]

They don't want to win. Its going to be Heat Spurs finals.

[Nathan89]

Series Over.

It's just one game.

[DPG21920]

John Wall is a MIA fan?

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol sup Trayshawn... are you at Nancy's party?

:lol Sup Deshawn! I am here. Where you at my nig?

[ElNono]

Born Ready got aborted at the end there :lol

[lefty]

Lol black heat fan not getting out alive imo

[Budkin]

:lol Marc Jackson is so bad.

[spurraider21]

Wade sending Lance all sorts of messages these closing minutes

[lefty]

Wade's knee not flaring

[ElNono]

:lol Sup Deshawn! I am here. Where you at my nig?

:lol chillin' at home... enjoying the game

[DPG21920]

Hibbert has to convert that one.

[Budkin]

Wow that looked like Duncan's miss last year.

[D-Wade]

Wade!!

[lefty]

Wow that looked like Duncan's miss last year.

Well Hib does work out with Jim during summer

[Budkin]

Lol black heat fan not getting out alive imo

:lmao I was just thinking the same thing.

[Brazil]

It was Indy shot and they blew it

[spurraider21]

:lmao What a shitty evening this is turning out to be for you.
not at all... i called a miami win before the game, after the first quarter, and again at halftime

[noles1983]

lol pacers

[DPG21920]

Wow - that was not a foul!!

[~O~]

Clean off of Norris Cole. A game changing play blown

[Budkin]

Hill got screwed on that.

[baseline bum]

Miami coming back to Indiana with a chance to close out the series in Game 5.

[Captivus]

And just like that Miami has HCA...

[noles1983]

dumbest fucking team i have seen

[ImDaNuts]

Wade seals it

[ElNono]

still that cute little team... where's BnrFan to :downspin: this? :lol

[Budkin]

The Pacers are so terrible. :lol

[resistanze]

Vogel :lmao

[baseline bum]

LOL Mark Jackson trying to say what another coach should do when his ass is back doing color commentary.

[pgardn]

Great D by Miami last 4 minutes.

Championship performance when it counted.

[100%duncan]

I still don't know why a lot of you think the Pacers can beat the Heat.

[noles1983]

i know there is no god because the heat play in the east conf

[D-Wade]

:lmao

[Clipper Nation]

LeClutch bailing out his "stacked" team :worthy:

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Indy is nothing but a bullshit team. That fluke performance in game 1 wasn't going to sustain itself. The law of averages have kicked back in. The better TEAM is back in control of this series now.

[benefactor]

Indy back to being Indy. This series is over.
tbh

[spurraider21]

Clean off of Norris Cole. A game changing play blown
:lmao... the game was already over. game changing? cmon man

[Franklin]

Guest team of the East :lol

[HEBsteaks]

Hibbert looks lazy out there, he doesnt seem to fight for position in the paint, kind of just stands around and then runs to the top to set a random unused screen. He could be a beast in the paint, pretty sad.

[spurraider21]

LeClutch bailing out his "stacked" team :worthy:
the best shooting guard in the league did work in the 4th

[resistanze]

LOL Mark Jackson trying to say what another coach should do when his ass is back doing color commentary.

Which says a lot about Vogel late-game coaching tbh. Just a pure New Jersey Mong.

[BanditHiro]

lol the pacers can't even get the 3 right

[DarrinS]

WNBA game

[spurraider21]

:cry 6

[crc21209]

I still see this coming back to Indiana at 2-2. Even though Indiana has looked like garbage in the 4th qtr, Miami tends to have letdowns at home sometimes...

[baseline bum]

Indiana has one fluke shooting night and people thought this was a series. :lmao
