Heat vs Pacers ECF

[ChrisperJ10]

No, I dont even sports.

Ugh, Yes you do. You even the shit outta sports bro...

I thought it would go 6. But with Wade not being "100%". Either team doesn't have much of a chance against SA.

 

[trojanfan12]

I will give them credit for Bosh but not Wade. I f you've been watching the Heat all playoffs long, Wade been playing like this all playoffs long due to his knee.

I agree for the most part about D-Wade, but I still give some credit to the Pacers defense. He may be hurting, but he is still an HOF caliber player and 75% of D-Wade is still better than about 75% of the guards in the league!!

Gotta agree with Chrisper here you do even the shit outta sports!!

 

[Shanemansj13]

Welp. Lebron will have to have another performance like last yr vs the C's! Unless Miami is knocking down shots like in game 3.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Lol

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

No, however you said the Heat success is attributed to nothing but the greatness of James. It's just not accurate. This is just more of the same ole BS we all heard when LBJ was in Cleveland. No one player can be attributed to reaching the finals it always takes a team effort, otherwise MJ wouldn't of had such trouble early on in his career. Now we have a game 7 and anything can happen in a game 7, so if they end up losing can we blame it all on James?

It's just the way it works, if you want to give LBJ all the props for success than he should get all the critique if they falter. BTW I don't agree with that notion either. It's a team win and it's a team loss. Certain players can step up and 'help' their team win or they can falter and 'challenge' their team in a loss.

 

[Vitamike]

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.

Right, because you are absolutely so perfect you never misspoke (Or typed in this case). Don't be a dick JD!

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I'm glad that the Pacers won by more then three points so that they did it without those technicals - I haven't seen if the technicals were valid or not, but I am pretty sure Heat fans will be moaning like bitches in heat over it - lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Gotta hand it to Bosh!! Watching him being interviewed and he's making no excuses for his poor play!! I respect that!!

 

[OregonDucks]

Heat take game 7 by like 15 points. Won't even be close.

I want Pacers to win this thing badly, since their fans are absolutely great to see their support. Also would love for the small market teams to be in the NBA title game, and just stick it to Stern and these big market bought championships.

But Heat win game 7.

What else can he do? He has been awful.
No reason to expect that to change for either he or Wade on Monday.
James hopefully understands that and doesn't: put a whole lot of effort into hoping they do.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

The problem is that Wade is not 100% and is playing injured and I don't think that is going to change in this series or the finals if the Heat wins the last game. This just goes to prove though that no matter how good you think your team is, every team in the NBA is one injury from losing

Of course other players have to contribute. Every player on the roster is a professional.
However, this team is supposed to be heavily top loaded with the Big 3.
Well, 2/3 of the Big 3 been nonexistent.
We have 3 wins so far, so you tell me, what is by far the biggest factor in the Heat getting those 3 wins?

Like I said, if James was on the Pacers with their roster, the series would have been over in 4, maybe 5 if something totally unforeseen would have happened.

Turnup is not a Heat fan....He's a Lebron James fan

 

[RobToxin]

One thing I don't get is how LBJ gets called for a T for running down the court if he never said a word to the refs? Is there a rule stating that if you run down the court w/out saying a word to the ref that you're giving a T

Same rule that says if you are on the bench laughing, you get tossed.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

What ESPN posted is that Lebron protested the call by running across the court - Lebron according to them ran off so that he wouldn't say anything. I guess what the referees and NBA wants the players to do is to kiss their ass and thank them for calling a bogus foul - Kind of like the Miami fans have been wanting Lakers fans to do the last year - they want every one to kiss their ass and worship the Miami Heat as their Lord and Saviour

 

[BOTSLAYER]

there is no way I am going to read the shit in this forum...

that said I do not even want the Heat to win Monday if it is going to be LBJ, Rio and Cole vs the Spurs in the finals

 

[OregonDucks]

Imagine the flopping and bitching that will take place in a Spurs/Heat finals..

NBA about to make a crap load of $$ off fines.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

FFS if the Heat make the finals it will be a repeat of the last time LBJ played them in the finals, a sweep with LBJ's best player being a mediocre PG, he will have 2 this time, FFFFFF
