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

Chalmers with the bads, per usual.

That's absolutely a flagrant tbh.

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

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

How is that not a flagrant rofl

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

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

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

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

Ok they called it a flagrant.

What a bitch made move

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

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

:toast

Chambers get tossed? I got the sound off.

Someone needs to cut Jackson's throat

:lol A flagrant and a tech?

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

:lol holy crap, that Paul George turnover

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

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

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

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

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

:lol

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

Pacers are pretty terrible tbh.

WTF, he woulda had 4 FTs!?

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

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

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

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

Pacers got the champs right they want them.

Back to 14!!

Wrap it up B

game

Non-issue

That's how you play basketball with a lead.

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

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

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

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

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

Pacers by far, although the Spurs could take either.

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

Hibbert with a jaw dropping 7 boards :wow

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

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

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

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

4-point play

Damn LeBron

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".

wade has been terrible in the 2nd half.

what da fuck kinda shot was that?

What the hell Lance Stephenson doing? :lol

That would be the 2007 Cavs.

:lol what the fuck was that shot from Lance

Ex-spur from Indy is a fucking scrub.

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

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.

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

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

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

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....

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

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.

So will Indiana ever score 100 in this series again?

Quick, someone injure Allen

GG Pacers. 3 more.

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

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.

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.

Dat FT disparity lol

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.

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.

: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.

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....

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)..

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

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.

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

Minus the Finals I suppose

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

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