I see the Heat winning this series but the Pacers I guess could given a break or two.
HCA, they still have really solid defense
Miami doesn't have a stretch 4 anymore in Miller, which completely changes everything in favor of Pacers
only if Bosh is really really red hot from 3, I see Pacers taking this in 7

even at the pacers peak this season, i thought heat should/would be favored, but pacers would have a legit chance. with the pacers collapse, i just dont see it happening. the pacers had given the heat problems because they played well collectively and hibbert's balls would expand tenfold. hibbert clearly can't be relied upon at this point and indy is just flat out not playing that well
Pacers are 5-1 on road and 3-4 at home in playoffs, so i put no st ock in their HCA. Heat in 7 is what mah gut tells me
Really? You think it goes 7? Indy has looked so sloppy at times. I'm actually thinking Miami closes at home in 6, worst case.
Heat in 5, unless the refs drag it out. The Pacers just aren't a talented team.
I predicted Heat sweep before the playoffs, and even though Indy had been a trainwreck, I'm kinda impressed how they've won all their must win games to this point. Couple tbat with the fact they always play Miami tough, and i think we have a series
DPG21920, $200 bet? You take Heat in 4, 5, or 6...any othet result and I win...deal?
First come first serve to anyone...but you'll have to be vetted first
yeah, miami in 7 is a weird pick, implying they can't close out at home in game 6, but they will in game 7 on the road... either that or he has indiana up 3-2 going back to miami
edit: i see DD is putting his money where his mouth is.
yes
Props to DD, but I can't read Indy at all, tbh... not this season. He's right they've been able to win their must-win games, but which Hibbert are they going to get from game to game is a puzzle I haven't figured out yet. Should be an entertaining series.
heat in 5 or less. this is not even going to be close
Indiana would have been swept by the West 8th seed. they should thank their lucky stars they are in the weak East. Their luck has run out
Game for the bet, then?
He's gone
i'm intrigued, but just trying to pick your brain in all this. you see miami losing game 6 at home and winning on the road in game 7?He's gone
Don't want to bet, but there is no way Pacers win this series, and they'd be lucky to win 2 games. They went 7 with an Hawks(8th seed), and 6 with the Wizards(6th seed), and now they're just gonna turn it on against the Heat. I doubt it.
I have almost no confidence in the Pacers after their showing these playoffs, but I would have to see how they fare in game 1 for me to think they have a shot.
If, by some chance, they dominate in game 1 I would say they have a shot — if they lose, I would say that the Heat have it in 5.
I would love for the OP to be right but, like almost everyone else, I think the Pacers will lose in 6 at best.
Yeah.....see, there's this other factor known as "they're a ty team" that you aren't factoring into the equation.
I would love to be wrong, though, because the Spurs would beat them in the Finals for sure.
Man people are so delusional about the Pacers this year. George Hill and Hibbert having their worst years ever troughing at playoff time. Stephenson running 8-10 iso plays a game (Heat are going to pants down on this fool)... and you guys think the Pacers have a ing chance? Lets go back to last year. Remember the last time Stephenson said ? Lebron James 0- his ass for an entire half. Guy didn't score points until the 4th quarter in an elimination game?!?!
On Mike Miller. You realize he wasn't playing the 4 right? Lebron was playing the 4... so that means they can play Rashard, Jones, Beasley, etc. at the same spot Miller was playing. Lebron was D'ing up on West in those situations or they were doing it when West or Hibbert were on the bench and just steamrolling the out of Pacers backups.
This year it's going to be way worse. This series is going to be over real early.
Indy in 6. Non issue.
Miami in 5. Not even close.
The Pacers can but it all depends which Hibbert and Stephenson shows up, those two dip s are the biggest question mark in this series. Stephenson has been a huge disappointment in the playoffs, if you're rooting for Indiana, you hope a guy playing for a contract wil finally show up in the right series, and this has to be that series.
Hibbert has shown signs of life, they needed his confidence and that Wizard series restored it. I expect Hibbert to be a lot more effective here afterall he pummeled the Heat frontcourt last season and there hasn't been any changes in the Heats lineup since.
The Pacers are not going to win on talent even though on paper they have a better team simply because they don't have a player that can take over games, they literally have to scrap for 48 minutes to close out the Heat. Miami can win a game with everyone but Lebron and Player B having a good game, the Pacers need excellent games from Players A-E to steal a game, ask yourself which one is likely to happen in every game of this series?
7??? God damn, that Afghani heron must just murder the Miami .
