Vogel only needs to do it for two or three more playoff failures and then he can be the best coach in the NBA.
Well he really tOok a step back with that blunder lmaoaccording to HarlemHeat Vogel is the best coach in the league

Pop won, decision was some kind brilliant, tbh
Read in blue tbh
I see what you did there lol
Yes, giving away big leads in the fourth quarter of playoff games is fine as long as you are 2-1 with one win in overtime. What a victorious strategy!
He gets a "big fat F" for taking a better Heat team to overtime?
He made some questionable moves during the game, but he also did a great job game-planning and preparing for the matchup. I also think he did a good job with rotations considering Hibbert and West had 4 fouls in the 3rd quarter.
I hope the Spurs coaches are paying attention to this as an example of how NOT to play against the Heat.
Taking a better team, who you have a winning record against in the regular season, on the road, in the playoffs, to overtime when you lose doing stupid ? Yeah, you deserve an F.
I think this Game 1 outcome will significantly dampen the Pacers' spirits. This is why I think Miami will win Game 2 and ultimately win the series in 5 games. Had the Pacers won last night it could have gone to 7 games.
Preach to the choir lol. I fully agree
Yes, because the outcome of a regular season series is always the best indicator of how two teams will matchup in the playoffs.
The Spurs and the Warriors split.
Gives me all the confidence that the spurs will beat miami. Miami struggles with good interior players point blank period and the spurs are disciplined enough to execute down the stretch, add to the fact that pop will never reach the level of stupidity vogel reached last night. If the pacers aren't broken by game 1 and commits less turnovers its goin 6 or 7
I literally have no response to that.
I was refering to game 6 vs Warriors, when Pop sat Duncan intentionally in last mintues of the game and played smallball with Splitter at C.
I have no idea what that means.
Yep. The Spurs went small, jacked up a lot of threes instead of trying to score inside or draw fouls, and happened to hit enough to win that game. I was referring to when they did it two other times so far in these playoffs; once a loss against the Warriors, and one where they gave up an 18 point lead and had to win in overtime at home.
Timmy sitting all that time with 5 fouls ensured he was fresh in OT, and as we all saw, that was the difference.
Probably not the way Pop originally planned it, but a win is a win. 2-0, 'nuff said.
It's great to have three full days off before Game 3 in Memphis, too.
WCF game 2 was diffrent. Duncan wasnt benched intentionally. He had foul trouble. Spurs played good, but missed open shots. When he come back, Spurs still were missing shots. But he was fresh for OT.
Ok?
Vogel made some poor decisions down the stretch and it probably cost them the game. But his pre-game preparation and strategizing put his team in a position to win that game. There are areas in his coaching he can improve, but overall he's a very good coach.
When you are playing a superior team, you can't afford coaching mistakes or the amount of turnovers the Pacers had. The turnovers are the real reason they lost, not Vogel.
If you disagree that the Heat are a superior team, you're re ed.
Duncan was in the game, he was just in with Bonner and not Splitter. That's not foul trouble, tbh.
That means Obstructed is playing with you. Not planned but okay
He is just being ironic.
Wow, you just ... can't read or something. I said the Heat were a better team, but Indiana had a winning record against them because they played their strengths, like Roy Hibbert. When a coach has a chance to win a game against a better team on the road, and they lose because he goes away from his team's strength, especially when that strength has been the one thing to bother said better team all season long, he deserves the blame.
Hey, don't look at me. I had nothing to do with that exchange.That means Obstructed is playing with you. Not planned but okay
He is just being ironic.
I'm not looking tbh
