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

[BatManu20]

Hibbert has become so bad. His contract is suddenly right up there with Boozer as the worst in basketball tbh

[jeebus]

Could have just left it at that

But he's good at blaming his teammates

[DPG21920]

I know and agree. But it's not just about size. Millsap is a legitimate scorer at the four, whereas Battier isn't. They have Bosh playing the Antic role when he should be playing the Millsap role. Right now, they're giving West too much of a break on defense. Perhaps Beasley would be a better choice.

Ya - it's not as ideal as having Antic/Millsap, but I still think it's the right strategy because you don't have to worry about Hibbert killing you consistently on offense.

Damn Charmels really became a fat .

Wasn't Chalmers skinny to start the season? How much do you have to eat to play an 82 game reg season and get fatter tbh....

[Nathan89]

Scola needs to step his game up.

[AchillesHeel]

Scola looking like Blake Griffin on the break

[StrengthAndHonor]

Pacers just looks like a championship team when Hibbert is playing like an All Star

[Muser]

God damn Indiana can't miss from 3

[BatManu20]

Pacers bench just isn't any good. Giving up a big lead in moments

Three heating up

[Mugen]

I hate Mark Jackson.

[DPG21920]

Running the offense through Lance has resulted in two turnovers and almost a third.

[Muser]

Mahinmi is ing awful

[StrengthAndHonor]

Stephenson

IMO - you are sorely underestimating INDY. They are a flawed team offensively, but so is MIA. INDY took a better MIA team to game 7 last year. INDY went through an epically bad stretch, but don't fool yourself into thinking they will role over and don't match up pretty well with MIA overall. I fully expect MIA to win, but INDY is a good team when playing well.

I don't think last year's Heat was better than this year's team. Sure they lost Miller, but Wade is way healthier right now.

[StrengthAndHonor]

God damn Indiana can't miss from 3

Which is fun but they're not going to shoot nowhere this rate in a series.

[TIMMYtoZO]

Indiana is starting to slow down. Miami has to keep at it. They can get this game under control pretty quickly.

[DPG21920]

I don't think last year's Heat was better than this year's team. Sure they lost Miller, but Wade is way healthier right now.

Wade is playing better and they did a good job of finding him rest, but I don't think a lot of the role players are playing as well as last year. We will see if a better Wade negates the dip from a few of the others. Very well could and MIA wins their 3rd in a row.

Lmao Hibbert, exercising like an old lady while watching tv.
