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

[Mugen]

West is bullyin' s down low tbh. Lunch money stealing bullllllllllllyyyy

[ElNono]

indy looking good

[jeebus]

just got home... game any good?

Not really; it's about as exciting as an eastern conference game can get.

[D-Wade]

I just don't like the strategy of having Chris Bosh take more 3s than a true 3 point shooter like Ray. Spo has done a lot of great things for this team, but he falls in love with "floor spacing" too much.

[BC3]

So I guess Bosh not hitting and the good looks for INDY forced Spos hand to abandon the strategy. I think that its a bit of an overreaction (especially if you believed starting Battier was a good idea in the first place), but let's see how this goes.

did spo abandon small ball?

[Fireball]

so with ESPN covering the East, do we have to listen to Reggie Miller every game?

[DPG21920]

did spo abandon small ball?

Yup - overreacted IMO and started the second half with Haslem over Battier.

[Mugen]

I'd like to see Bron on the block more against PG.

TBH, he's done the opposite this game. He yanked Shane and put in Haslem to start the 2nd half.

but but the east is better than Dad Killer's era.

this game is an anomaly, because he is not hitting a high percentage ... but as I recal it Chris Bosh is clutch this season from the three point line

[DPG21920]

Yup - Bosh got some good looks. Him missing those put Spo in a bind. He felt he had to abandon the game plan very early.

[Mugen]

Great sequence by Lance.

[jeebus]

but but the east is better than Dad Killer's era.

Oh. Then in that case, I'm wrong.

[jeebus]

nice bailout, refs. I guess you gotta hold the ball for a good minute before a jumpball is called.

[Muser]

Damn Indiana spanking that ass.

[Mugen]

Agreed w/ JVG. I hate that timeout rule.

[Robz4000]

Lame call

[Hoops Czar]

Miami's got Indiana right where they want them.

[cjw]

He's still 4 of 10 from the floor. Say two of those threes go in and he's all the sudden shooting well above his averages both from the floor and 3, and it's still a 10 point deficit.

[Robz4000]

Miami gonna come back and win. Indy's gone full re on offense again.

[Trainwreck2100]

Miller Kerr and Marv

[TIMMYtoZO]

Bang! Back down to 13. Miami still hanging around despite Indiana playing lights out.

[~O~]

Being complacent and taking stupid shots like David West did..is not going to get it done.

The officiating has been great thus far and I always about officiating.

Miller Kerr and Marv

well, as Kerr is now the coach of Golden State, we are stuck with Reggie Miller ...
