This is Indiana's ship win! Greatest win in the last decade

Everyone roots ( and should) against the Heat.
That what happens when your the best in any sport.

Fans of shit teams don't have really anything to root for this time of year.
Might as well hope the champs go down ( but it won't be to the Pacers).

Oh, I don't know. I don't think your Heat can play much better. Sure, you were missing a good bench player, but so were we. Putting in Donald Sloan is not exactly ideal in a game like this.

Yeah. Too bad we don't have the legacy of Cleveland, eh?

 

[shitsho]

You guys come up with the best gifs!!!

How about that David West travel?

How about all the shitty shots ( lead by Wade), and missed FT's?

How about all of the unforced TO's?

Those things aren't judgement calls like missed calls are, it's just shitty basketball.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

That's going to be a must-see series. Why did they eject Stephenson though? Because DWade and LeBron cried?

Yah, if we got players like Indiana has we would of already won one. And that's saying a lot

You seem hurt.

It's how it should be.

too many folks want to bank on the past to justify the present...

they took the Heat to 7 games LAST season. i can CERTAINLY see them taking the Heat down...

Basically!

They called a double tech earlier when it should have just been on Wade. Lance said something after he was tripped going out of bounds after scoring a big hoop. Wade and LeBrute directed the refs to call a second tech on him and they immediately bowed, kowtowed and complied.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

It's how it should be.

So, refs should make calls based on what players want?

Hibbert will be lucky to avg 15 PPG in a series if they start Haslem. Haslem actually knows how to play him and get in his jersey even though he's just 6'9

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Heat had 18 turnovers and only 13 assists. Shot 6-19 from 3's.

Bosh and Chalmers were cold, didn't have Ray Ray, and Wade is still hurting and it comes down to a last shot.

I would be worried Pacers, especially since the Pacers have been shooting this way lately.

 

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

Regardless. That was a bit like a heavyweight fight. Blood and all. True, most of it was dripping from the Pacers. But there is no doubt things are going to get interesting if and when they meet in the playoffs.

Yes they do it all the time when they review shit in the last 2 minutes. Soon as the players say something they decide to review it

No just Lebron

wish i had a counter-argument for THIS one. imo there's NO excuse why Hibbert doesn't flat-out DOMINATE that match-up...

Really?
You don't think we can score more than 6 points in 6 minutes?
You think the Heat will continue to be that careless with the ball?

Reality is that Hibbard abusing Oden now might have been the best thing to happen/ find our tonight vs in a playoff game.
Basically his first qtr points were a huge part of the reason you won.
He was useless vs UD.
I think the Pacers are the ones who now need to rethink that positional match up in the future, not us.
