Bosh

Duncan

Manu

Parker

Gasol

Allen

Garnett

Pierce

Kobe

Anyone else?

 

[metoo]

Lol

ooh weeee

 

[GroveDiesel]

Bird should fire Vogel after this game. Stops getting Stephenson involved and there is NO excuse for what just happened.

Nice finish Heat. What I expected. Now it's a series.

 

[got_nugs]

WHY ARE ALL THE PACERS FANS LEAVING?

 

[GroveDiesel]

GOOD THING VOGEL LET THE HEAT RUN THE TIME DOWN BY 20 SECONDS ON THAT LAST POSSESION.

 

[rascal]

Wait, Cleveland got the #1 pick? Again? How is it not fixed?

Kobe

Edited to add him. Oversight.

 

[pizzatyme]

Scola and Watson were not good tonight. Taking the ball out of Lance's hands in the 4th is mind boggling. Defensive letdowns in the 4th, and that's the ball game.

 

[Britney Spears]

Lebron really looks flumoxed out there. George has him really frustrated on the offensive end and he is trying to do too much and cover for everyone else defensively.

Not in the 4th.

 

[fantasycurse42]

If they don't win by 3,

They get change back on their $5 seats.

 

[fantasycurse42]

####!!!!!!!!!!!

If it was fixed the Lakers or Celtics would have somehow gotten it.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Nice ####### pass #######!

 

[CurlyNight]

As usual, Heat wait till the last minute if they are planning on winning!

Oh and Birdman's beard is atrocious looking. WTF is that?? :X

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If they don't win by 3,

Your faux bet is safe.

Nash? Vince Carter? Durant? CP3

Indiana has played the best they can, Miami hasn't. LBJ in 5.

Nash yes.

Carter is close.

Durant not yet.

Cp3 not yet. His startling lack of postseason success and the fact that he's only been top 3 MVP once iirc are a problem.

 

[pizzatyme]

Here they come...

 

[got_nugs]

Whew, the prospect of me sitting with #### in my shorts for 3 days down 0-2 was not something I was looking forward to.

Home court no given with how good the Pacers play on the road.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Here they come...

Pacers good on the road, you're ok.

 

[Abraham]

Serious question: if the pacers had gone up 2-0 and lost, would Vogel be in more trouble than if they still lose in 6?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Was this more about LBJ and Wade's greatness or the Pacers' stupidity?

 

[SoBeDad]

As usual, Heat wait till the last minute if they are planning on winning!

Oh and Birdman's beard is atrocious looking. WTF is that?? :X

Birdman was +25 tonight! Only 3 points, but 12 rebounds in 28 minutes.

 

[fantasycurse42]

The Heat have no shot against SAS if they play like they did in the first two games.

Bosh is just awful... I kinda expect that from a dude that married short stack.

 

[Raider Nation]

Here they come...

It's over. If you disagree, let me know the amount of the PayPal wager.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Was this more about LBJ and Wade's greatness or the Pacers' stupidity?

Wade was fantastic all night. Definite credit to him.

But so many horrible coaching decisions by Vogel as well.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Was this more about LBJ and Wade's greatness or the Pacers' stupidity?

D Wade played real big tonight.

 

[metoo]

Unless George proves he's a star I don't see Indiana winning this series. The small things he doesn't do.

 

[Abraham]

Oh, I suspect they will be better in the finals. Both teams raise their games when stakes are highest. We are in for a treat.

 

[Britney Spears]

Pretty crummy game from LeBron really. He rescued them in the 4th but was mediocre in 1-3 IMO.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Paul George nailing Bosh's wife, no other explanation... Prob easing Hibberts concerns too.

 

[BassNBrew]

I don't know. Are you going to run your mouth like you are an authoritarian on who is CLEARLY BETTER when the 82 game regular season showed otherwise and this far, the playoffs have confirmed?

How about you give the Pacers some respect and we can be friends? Friendo

The Heat are clearly better and it's not even close.

Great teams win games like this. Heat in 5.

Feel better now?

It's stunning to watch LeBron try to play against Hibbert. He is in "attack mode" vs every other player on earth BUT Hibbert. In the 4th he started driving and dishing. The Heat offense is predicated on the ball movement and Lebron driving to the hoop. Without that action, against the Pacers, the Heat look like high schoolers. Very tall ones.

He's saying blurry vision over banging Bosh's wife now.

Birdman was +25 tonight! Only 3 points, but 12 rebounds in 28 minutes.

Clearly the Heat's best player. If he had played the full game they would have won by 43 (25 * math = 43).

LeBron was just +4. WTF is that? Get off the court scrub.

 

[metoo]

I could say more but I dont won't to get ban.

Birdman's been great the whole post-season. Miami's bench is better than the Pacer's. Turner is much worse than I thought.

 

[Abraham]

Would the bucks take Irving for the #2?

Yessssssssssss, SAS and MIA are a treat.

 

[metoo]

Heat will win this again. They are what you think the Spurs are.

 

[Abraham]

I think the spurs being favored is silly. To be the champ you have to beat the champ.

 

[sporthenry]

Heat will win this again. They are what you think the Spurs are.

The Spurs who were a Kawhi Leonard FT away from winning last year?

There are countless championships that could have gone to another team if we changed the outcome of a single play in any given postseason.
