Heat vs Pacers ECF

[shitsho]

He fouled out of the game didn't he - so he was fouling enough to get caught - A smart player backs off and is careful when the ref's are being assholes. I guess Lebron wasn't that smart

So you mean let the opposing player score or don't attempt to set a screen even if its part of a play?

I can't stop laughing at this.

That's the other problem the Heat has - they flop so much that the ref's can't tell when it's fake or real

Got to study the tapes and be ready with counter moves when the game starts - It's the teams that makes the best adjustments that wins the series

Mont, would Lebron have fouled out if weren't afraid...?

That block on Hill was awesome wasnt it? No fear there.

You can set the screens, but when they set a screen - you can't try to knock the hell out of them when going through the screen. That's what they got called for quite a bit

Personally if they was more experienced - I think the triangle offense would benefit Miami against the Pacers. The game has been slowed down enough anyway for it to work

Thats what coaches do. Pretty sure Spo did it since he is a tape master. I guess I'm trying to get to the point where I understand what they possibly could have done different to keep Lebron from fouling out?

True. But those fouls undoubtedly cost the Heat more than they did the Pacers. This is not something we've ever seen before.

I've never seen a game officiated that poorly, and that slanted. Typically you'll see bad calls at key points of a game. In this game, we saw horrible calls from the get go.

And I don't care who wins this series. If it was up to me, we'd be watching Dirk hit a fadeaway jumper in Bosh's face to seal the Mavs second title with me going ape shit all up and down the block. AGAIN.

That's a lie. You've seen Joey Crawford call games before. It wasn't slanted one way or the other dramatically. Joey Crawford sucks ass for everyone

Dude stepped on his foot and tripped. How do you prevent that if you set a screen?

In the final 5 minutes of the game, The Heat were called for 5 fouls while Indy committed supposedly 0 and shot 7 free throws while Miami shot 0.

 

[TexasMan]

His "followers" called him "The King" and he stuck with it. Kinda like a nickname that stuck with you when you were little.

He was called that in relation to The Bible. (King James Version)

Looks like he didn't do it good enough because they lost and Lebron fouled out when they needed him the most

Thats not the Heats style. They like to turn you over and get out in the open court. The triangle would not maximize Lebrons talent in the half court set. Dont get me wrong. I love the triangle but Lebron is not an ordinary player.

He has the King James title tatoo'd on his arm - so he must think it's true - problem is - It wasn't tonight

How can they call a moving screen if Wade never used the Lebron screen?

 

[Malibu]

Miami better start respecting the Pacers.

Foul on David West:

 

[shitsho]

Looks like he didn't do it good enough because they lost and Lebron fouled out when they needed him the most

Because Spo didnt make adjustments?

They called it a tripping foul like they called on Stephenson earlier.

The triangle takes to long to learn - but I think for this series - the team that could execute the triangle in perfect fashion would be a cinch to win - I already know neither will do it - both teams are too athletic and fast to go that slow, but they slowed the game down alreay anyway - just saying - there are times when I think the triangle would be a good option. My problem with the Lakers is they stuck to the game plan too long and got stale
