Eastern Conference Finals, Game 4: Heat @ Pacers

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Such a "talented" team shouldn't have to resort to flopping.

uhm.... how do you think they got to the ECF?

Having a big three is now mandatory in this league. So is having a deep bench, as well. Miami doesn't have a "deep bench" in the conventional sense, so they flop and hope to supplement their bench with that + "benefit of the doubt."

It's called "strategy." Some teams, like the Heat, fake it. Others, like the Spurs, actually have it.

Atrocious flopping by the Heat, and I can't beleive Wade's flying elbow wasn't properly penalised by the league with a 1-game suspension.

I think the Spurs are playing better than both of these teams right now, and with a bit of good fortune with the bounce of the ball and the refs, we should beat either one. Should be a tough Finals series either way.

Ray Allen was their leading rebounder and Hibbert, West and George combined to have more rebounds between themselves the whole Heat team. That team has some serious flaws when they're not making those fluke shots. For God's sake, Chris Andersen is their second best player in the playoffs so far. Wade is just a walking s of his former self.

Milwaukee were a joke to make it in the playoffs. Chicago were missing half of their team and still took a game and Indy so far have been giving them serious compe ion even though their team is full of dumbasses and chuckers like Stephenson and George who don't know how to throw the ball into the post. All three are on the bottom half in the league when it comes to offensive efficiency. We too can play these games Homeland Security.

The FT disparity between the two teams will even out as the series goes on... I fully expect LeBron to take the East still. The Pacers are playing pretty well though. I think it's safe to say their style of play is legit. Them winning it all shouldn't be too far fetched at this point, regardless of the odds being against them. I still believe they would be a much easier out than the Heatles.
