NBA: ECF Game 5: Indiana @ Miami sponsored by Drowning Pool

Miami's PA announcer is unbearable

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Prolly would tbh. Doesn't change the fact they match up with the Heat better than the Spurs. If they weren't inexperienced/had better playmakers they could've won this series.

lol, series isnt over, its first to 4, not one, not two, not three, not five, not six, not seven, but four

[Budkin]

Heat "fans" leaving before the game ends.

Even in a huge win. Pathetic.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

The Grizz had a godawful offense. So does Indy tbh, but they had the personnel to beat the Heat.

lol, and we dont, you are a stupid and should be banned when the spurs win

[D-Wade]

Good one.

But this series isn't going back to MIA, imo

Reading this thread you get the impression that spurfan (well, most of them) thinks they are the 96 Bulls. Upstairs is gonna look like Jonestown in a couple weeks.

FWIW, I still think the Heat beat the Spurs in the Finals, but they aren't an easier matchup for the Heat like Robz is making them out to be.

It's over son. Might be best for you to go post your reasons why the Spurs will beat the Heat.

honestly, i think the grizzlies are better equipped to deal with the heat. sure, Hibbert is a handful for the heat. but he lacks ZBo's skills. plus, Conley is way, way better than Hill.

Welcome to the NBA Forum. It's always nice to see fresh new faces.

Spurs will have a decent shot based off experience alone, but the Spurs aren't built to beat the Heat like Indy almost is. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong.

it's worse than that. they couldn't get themselves into a position to score.

The post entry passers always pick up their dribble way before they pass the ball, and there was a couple of times they would refuse to pass the ball to hibbert just so they would continue to run their set play

But James was just unstoppable and Haslem going 8-9 again, those are championship level of plays

[hater]

my servers still crunching numbers but everything points to Heat in 6 in the Finals.

pretty straightforward

I think it's a wash. Gasol's lack of a strong post game negates the Conley advantage. West and Zbo cancel each other out as well.

Yeah, our 3 point shooters need to be hot which doesn't look good because the only consistent 3 point shooters have been Green and Bonner and both guys have the tendency to choke. Neal's shot is broken. Manu has been bad in the playoffs. Leonard and Diaw haven't been consistently hitting their 3's.

Also Tiago can't be throwing up soft shots against Miami and go up strong, though he started getting his momentum back in the Memphis series.

As good as Tony has been too, I feel like Miami's D is too good for Parker to have his usual impact.

Hopefully the Heat continue to have bad performances and the Spurs take advantage.

the Heat. Spurs in 5!

[jeebus]

So I'm watching inside the nba and aren't there usually fans who stay behind and cheer and ? Where are all those hardcore Miami fans who have been following the team since forever?

[m33p0]

I think it's a wash. Gasol's lack of a strong post game negates the Conley advantage. West and Zbo cancel each other out as well.

we're talking about pacers vs heat as opposed to grizzlies vs heat. although it would be fun to see grizzlies vs pacers in a playoff series.

Seriously though, the ECF version of the Heat can't beat San Antonio in a 7 game series.

I always give the champs the benefit of the doubt, and I do think the Heat have another gear, especially if Wade and Bosh wake up, but the Heat have looked very vulnerable since the 2nd round and are basically a one man team. And as great as Lebron is, he can't beat a team like the Spurs by himself.

But I think Wade is a dormant volcano and probably erupts in the Finals.
