Lol at the people who believethis.

Seriously... Do people forget just how bad the Pacers can be? I mean, tonight they were clicking on all cylinders and hitting all their shots. Miami missed close to everything outside of the paint. Let's not forget, the Pacers had trouble with Dwight-less Orlando...
 
Ph33nix you ok???

I have not been worried all season, not even after the last game. I am now worried. (I still think we can win this series but holy shit no way will this team win the championship unless some dramatic change happens)
 
This has nothing to do with Bosh...

It's not all about him, but his loss is a huge blow to their offense. It kills their spacing, clogs up the lane, and takes away one of the three people who can actually score on the team. They can try to go small, but Battier can't hit a shot and it hurts them on the boards, so that hasn't worked.

Also, can we all not act like Hibbert hasn't been complete ass before this game? he got out played by GLEN DAVIS. For an ENTIRE SERIES.

BIG BABY.

I'd love if hibbert decided to grow a pair and act like the 7'2 dominant he should be.

Heat don't have anybody as good as Big Baby with Bosh gone.

So, if the Heat lose do they try and trade Wade in the offseason to shore up the rest of their roster?

What alternative do they have?
 
Everything you guys have ever argued about this team... All the insults, all the "it will never work", all that hate... it has all come out in THIS GAME.

This is not like the Finals last year, we got beat by a team that played harder, that was just better on that series. This is a complete utter meltdown of this "team" or whatever that thing we have out there is. Luckily this is all fixable, we still have the skill to win, but it will take some character, some leadership, some of that stuff we are clearly horribly lacking to save us.

The upside for Heat-age is that this is still the Pacers. You guys win the next game and you have home court advantage back.

Also Bosh should only be out for a couple of weeks. So if you guys can squeeze by the Pacers, you'll probably get him back sometime in the ECF against the ...Sixers possibly... :lol

Yeah, that's not what happened.

And even then, there's this thing called defense. The Pacers size took away the paint in the 3rd, it shifted the momentum so hard Gloria James felt it
 
Cee Lo MUST have gotten teh mid sections of his limbs amputated and transplanted inside his abdomen.


No other explanation makes sense.


In that promo he outstretches his arms and could almost still scratch his nose.

not enough sighs in the world for this. what the fuck does this even mean.

I see you didn't watch Lebron's cav's teams? Lebron is a front runner. He's the leader on the heat like he was with the cavs and like the cavs the heat has adopted their leader's attitude.

Worried about this series, because were fucked if the Pacers shoot like this again. But moreso, I knew when Bosh went out that we'd reaaaaaally struggle to get to the finals w/o him, and definitely not win the finals w/o him.

Says more about Spo and the players on the Heat then it does anything about the Pacers. Losing Bosh was big but tonight's pathetic display wasn't about Bosh.
 
It means that this is a typical Lebron-lead team.

This game messed with my head so much that I am starting to believe that. Every memory I have of those Lebron Cavs teams ended with something like this. Now its happening here... That said this game is still on Wade but Lebron did seem to check out when he wasn't hot.

D Wade and Lebron are too similar in what they do. If this was Wade and Bosh/LBJ and Bosh, the outcome would have been a different one.

Not like Bosh is a big presence in the front court, but he has a good mid range game so it brings out players like hibbert and west for spacing. Their entire front court is a joke and left exposed easily by West and Hibbert.

I still think Miami can pull this out, but this game was a fucking embarrassment.

Did you watch the games? I know Cloving has just been hating on the Pacers from the jump in this thread, but they "had trouble" winning 4-1 because SVG was coaching his ass off, Orlando can hit their 3s and Big Baby is a strong bodied dude who was hitting his jump shots.

Spoelstra's coaching doesn't compare to SVG, the Heat don't have guys who can hit a contested jump shot, and the only player on that entire team with a strong body is Lebron and he's a game away from pulling the same act we see every year.

Edit: point is, the Pacers aren't winning because they are playing out of their minds; they aren't at all. They're winning because they are shutting the Heat down on defense and dominating on the boards. Shooting will come and go but I don't see them suddenly getting lazy on defense in this series. But keep rocking back and forth in that corner, trying to find a happy place...

screw lebron talk. there needs to be massive wade hate tomorrow. he played, acted like shit. inexcusable.

Yeah but like everyone in the media loves to say

"He has his rings, he's put in the work. He can have a bad game here and there"

Obviously winning 1 ring due to sternball gives you free pass to be the biggest douchebag in the NBA.

Where amazing happens.

What part isnt serious? Orlando put up a better fight against Indiana than Miami is doing right now. That's factually correct.

Am I the only one sitting here wondering "What if Dwight didn't go down?" Ofc, we might not have had Super-motivated-Glen.

I'd been at least somewhat understanding if Lebron looked pissed or anything. But it looked like he was doing his Public-Relations speech to the bench. Prime Kobe would've fucking strangled someone. Hopefully he kicked over a trashcan or two off camera.

Wade's "No! Don't touch me!!!" was funny at least.
