Heat vs Pacers ECF

[Black Adam]

Uh-oh Heat fans!!

Heat F Chris 'Birdman' Andersen suspended for Game 6 vs. Pacers - CBSSports.com

heard it on ESPN. it was deserved...

Right CL67 I noticed that too however that stat that Hammer posted about the winner of Game 5 (Sumtin like 87%) I really can't blame them too much.


This is true, nothing like being challenged to step it up!


Those Pacers are indeed a tough match-up however I also think you are vastly underestimating the Spurs team and their Coach.



Nothing BUT "The greatness of LBJ"? This is one good reason why Heat fans get such a bad rap. Believe me, if your team didn't play such great defense your Heat would be in dire straights. It's been the team defense that has kept your Heat in games and LBJ taking advantage of that (That's what star NBA players do with out that team defense it really wouldn't matter how 'great' LBJ is IMO


I'm guessing by top you mean the Pacers and Bulls. I really haven't heard that the TOP of the West is tougher, I have however heard that from top to bottom the West is tougher. Just sounds like a spin at work here to me. Would you like to state your source? I've never heard this to include a caveat of just the 'top' of both conferences.





Where has this TurnUpTheHeat been? I remember this guy way back over on SeeBS. That was before all the BS over on that Heat haters thread that ruined you. Keep up these type of posts and you can regain respect on these boards once again.


Are you applying the laws of average from the regular season or the post season? I think it matters because of the level of competition game in and game out increases in the post season. If so the Spurs have a winning percentage of .857 in the post season and the Heat can do no better than .800 and are currently at .786. So law of averages says y'all get beat in the Finals. Not a good argument.



You know what they say, don't count your eggs before your chickens are hatched! We Lakers fans know this too well as our Lakers were beat by these same Pacers awhile back in the Finals and it didn't quite turn out like everyone was predicting back then.

whatever that clown says. they can win ten titles and i'll still hate the S.O.B.'s. that's what they get for collusion, arrogance, flippancy, and all the rest of that bullshit. let him think that titles will take all that away. i'll ALWAYS consider the Heat complete and utter garbage for the antics them AND LeClown pulled...

 

[bksballer89]

I expected that.

NEXT MAN UP

 

[Black Adam]

I expected that.

NEXT MAN UP

well, it's good you EXPECTED the truth. DEAL with it...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

We were right, Stern said Birdman should of been ejected. Now, I think the rule is stupid and the nba is soft now, but if you are going to eject a player for pushing lebron, then the same should of been the same for birdman birdman.

100% agree. This was expected( at least by me). It was a replica type play as to what happened vs the Bulls.

 

[bksballer89]

well, it's good you EXPECTED the truth. DEAL with it...

Are we talking about the same thing? I was talking about the suspension of bird?

 

[piss-tons]

I don't think Nazr or Birdman should have been ejected, but if you eject Nazr you gotta eject or suspend the birdman.

 

[bksballer89]

agree

 

[Black Adam]

Are we talking about the same thing? I was talking about the suspension of bird?

ahh, my bad...

What year did the Pacers beat the Lakers in the Finals??

 

[Black Adam]

I don't think Nazr or Birdman should have been ejected, but if you eject Nazr you gotta eject or suspend the birdman.

yep, gotta be consistent...

You take offense to me saying that James has been great?
Put it this way. Wade is crippled. Bosh has been dominated. Allen/Battier have been awful. Now, Hibbard has been dominant. The Pacers for the most part have dictated the style of play. YET, the Heat lead the series 3-2 and have been in a position to win the games they lost.

Of course the Heats defense has been a factor. It always is. However, the Pacers defense has also been very good.

So, what is the biggest difference between the teams? Answer is obviously we have James, they don't. If you put James on the Pacers roster and give us George in exchange, the series would already be over. We wouldn't stand a chance.

Now, as far as the Spurs. I totally respect them and if they had HC like Ok City did last year, I would be picking them to win. I think both teams can win on each others court, but I'm not convinced they can beat us here twice, and especially if it goes to game 7.


As far as East/West, I was talking top 2-3 teams. Who cares if the Hawks could beat the Warriors , etc..l

in his dreams?

I think that he meant the Pistons!!

 

[shitsho]

I wondered why he wasn't ejected during the game. I still dont know why he did that.

 

[Jims_Doors]

Maybe he did, but when you say "we were beat by these same Pacers" it makes you kind of wonder how many cobwebs are upstairs.

 

[Black Adam]

we'll see what effect it has on game 6, though...

 

[bksballer89]

i know why he did it

May not make a difference at all except for the number of fouls the Heat have to give. Lebron seems to have turned on MVP mode.

 

[shitsho]

i know why he did it

He reacted like something happened that play but I didnt see anything. Did something happen prior to that?
