Pacers vs. Heat Tomorrow Night

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

I think I will watch. Many of you planning on it?

na I think I will watch reruns of Law & Order SVU instead

I was going to download the Care Bears movie

I hope Miami's big 3 come down with "tendinitis" and are rested

Or I hope they go in there and play a good game and we see how healthy Wade is and if Bosh is going to be a big boy.

I have to watch. Seems Lance took another night off yesterday. Will he show up for the Heat game? Informed viewers want to know.

Kinda curious to see if Granger makes his first appearance off the bench. He says he is ready. Vogel, a bit more nonplussed.

Just like the POR game I would not take away too much from the OKC game, it is really unfortunate we do not get to see those games with 2 fresh teams to see what a matchup would really look like.

I have to think the over under is going to be around 189 (probably even less) and Indy should be favored by 5-7. I might look to take Miami as I think most of the public money is going to be on Indy.

Both teams coming on 1 day rest and Miami is ending it's 4 game road trip and it is Indy's home coming, I will back IND anything less than 6 but I think Indy will be closer to 10 point favorites.

I suspect the Pacers are a tad upset over last nights game. My only concern is that they have shown the ability to go colder than a witches tit from the field longer than anyone should reasonably expect they should.

BTW Wade will be playing the Heat only lost 2 games with him in the lineup and lost those games by a total of 2 points. Hopefully Beasley will be available as well

Their O is their only weakness and it is quite a weakness. I have joked about this, I love watching their D but I want to change the channel when they have the ball hahaha


They say D wins Rings but I think some scoring power goes a long way. I am actually kind of surprised by their lack of scoring power, they have a dominating front court that should give consistent points and really open up the outside scoring. It just hasn't been that consistent yet, so maybe Indy has not peaked this year yet? That could be scary.

BTW the Heat have lost only 5 games, and Wade has played in 15 of 21. That is a big difference: losing 2 of 15 or 3 of 6. The Heat need Wade.

Agree which is why they're not playing him in both games of a B2B until Jan or Feb because they want him at his best when the games actually mean something during the playoffs

 

[BOTSLAYER]

I do not think he should play a back to back all season, he will not have to play them in the playoffs let's make sure he is ready and his body is used to every other day.

For the Pacers, I still think the missing link (pun intended) is Stephenson. When he plays well, they win. When he doesn't, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

Maybe in Stephenson's place they could use someone more consistent, or at least on the nights he is off. maybe they can find something as the season goes on.....I don't know, maybe someone like......Danny Granger!?

 

[BOTSLAYER]

I think Granger has to be healthy to show step one of consistent.

While I don't want to see that idiotic Iverson youtube again, I am hearing Danny is knocking down 3's like crazy. Game legs? Who knows?

I did say as the season goes on.
It's not like the Pacers are really suffering badly due to Stephenson's play; if it would make the Pistons 'suffer' like that I would gladly take him and his inconsistency.

GO PACERS!

BEAT LeWRONG!

 

[vegasfraud]

I'll be watching because I watch every game LeBron plays in...does it mean anything more to MIA and their fans than just another regular season game...sure doesn't.
