Game Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: Miami Heat VS Indiana Pacers

[Black Adam]

Miami's starting frontcourt keeps jacking up 3s


Indiana's frontcourt is attacking the rim


You are not going to get any fouls if your center takes 5 3 point shots...

Bingo...!!!

I see that.
Not me.
Pacers are playing much harder and much more efficient. This games over.

Bottom line is that if Pacers want to win the series, they will have to win at least 1 in Miami because no way in hell we lose there 4 times this series.

Thank You!! The Pacers have been the aggressor throughout the game. Rest vs. Rust for the Heat?

I don't think it's over just yet. The Heat can make a double digit lead disappear faster than any team in the league and there's still a quarter and a half left.

Hibbert with more fts than the entire Heat team

I am watching the same game.


Chris Bosh is the starting center. He has jacked up a zillion 3 point shots.


Even the 2 point shots he takes are long jumpers.


It is not rocket science.


You get fouls by attacking the rim.

That I can not stand about Bosh's game. You are the team's big man! Get to the freakin' rim!

*you're ^
*they're ^^^^^^

Miami looks rusty and tired....tho I'm sure this will go about 6 or maybe 7 games w/ the NBA wanting the Heat in the finals once again. smh/lol

Tired rusty fine... But refs need to call fouls that are ACTUALLY fouls... That would make the game allot funner to watch as and outside fan .... I have no emotion toward either team... I just want to watch good fair FUN basketball....

Roy Hibbert doing his best Hakeem Olajuwon versus the Heat impression.


I have no idea why he is only good versus one team.


He sucks versus everyone who is not wearing a Miami jersey.

 

[trojanfan12]

Your just simply wrong about that... There was and NBA refs that spent time in Jail ... That kinda over-rules what you just said...

No, I'm actually not. There are always at least 5 non-ref related reasons that a team loses.

Yeah but the refs need to start calling ACTUAL fouls not fouls just because you drive into the lane.. It's maddening.... You can see as plain as day on the replay's a guy isn't even touched and they call a foul.... #@$^@#$^ That Shiznit...

MIAMI can still make a run if Indiana lets off the gas


13-15 points can vanish instantly

 

[bksballer89]

The referees are not causing this.


INDIANA has been superior in every facet of the game from the opening tip.


They look like the team that was 33-7


The softened them up from 3 pt....and now Miami seems helpless versus Hibbert/West inside.

All of Hibbert points are basically coming from fts on bogus calls. He's shooting 40% from the field

well good luck w/ that ......lol

btw: it's only game one.....these fouls & no calls have a funny way of evening out as the series moves along....

Someone's forgetting the Pacers have home court. They hold sway at home and the Heat are DONE...

4-10 is good? His points are coming on bogus calls. He's doing nothing when he's not at that ft line. He is on pace to shoot 8-20. Is that good for 7'2 center?

Remember when I said Hibbert playing like he should makes the Heat (specifically Lebron and D-Wade) jump shooters?

That's the reason for the free throw difference. The Heat are at their best when Lebron and D-Wade are attacking the basket and drawing fouls. They're just not doing that.

Bosh is the softest center in the NBA and WNBA. When he attacks the rim he has a good game.but he chooses to sit and jack up 3s and long 2s. Just attack the rim and get the basket or the foul.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Roy has done far more than that


He is keeping Miami's big men befuddled. He has been beastly on the defensive end


Offensively he is drawing double teams which leads to the ball finding the wide open 3 point shooters


He has been the best player on the floor so far today.

I agree with you to a point... But not that refs have never decided and NBA game... LOL not a chance... I"ve watched the NBA long enough to realize dirty refs can destroy a teams chances.... When they constantly call fouls on NON foul call's it dictates the tempo of the game ... It awards BS

 

[Black Adam]

Agree with whoever said Indy's gotta keep up the pressure, though...

He's not a Center in the "classic sense" like a true 5.....he's more of a Shooting Forward (4.5)

Stephenson is hell of a talent just a knuckle head
