Why does it always look like David West smells something really horrible?

Well obviously not "hate", but it gets the point across. First it was Knicks in 5, then Heat in 5, and probably Spurs in 4 if the Pacers advance. The Pacers are obviously no good, everyone just magically plays bad when the Pacers are on the court.
EDIT: Excluding tonight's game, where both teams look ugly.

And what happens when Lebron has to defend Splitter or Duncan on the other end?
I'm sure there will be mismatches throughout this hypothetical series where this happens both ways though. Heat still have to get past the Pacers first though.
Do you feel like the second half is going to be the same, except with sharper daggers?
Sit Wade's ass down. Heat should be down by Ten.

Spurs don't grab offensive rebounds and LeBron could guard Splitter fine.

Are you saying that if bron goes to the post Duncan will switch? But the Lebron will just pull it back and iso.
You can't pick who defends who that way. Leonard will have to defend him in the post. A big can come help.
Duncan would embarrass Bron more than he did the Lakers.
He is not featured. Pretty much the same thing that happens with Gasol at times. Miami should be giving him the ball to drive instead of all these jumpers

Are you kidding this game and series has been great.
Miami simply can't deal with the size of the Pacers. They're literally getting bullied.
And Birdman should definitely be suspended for game 6.

Fuckball does not disappoint.
Bosh is not a good 3 point shooter, at all. Any 3 he makes gives the Heat the illusion that it is ok for him to continue to play that far out. He's not going to make a majority of them.

You do know who the Pacers are, right. They're not winning this series.
The assertion was that it is a win for the Pacers if he attempts threes (even if he makes them). If Bosh went 3/3 from beyond the arc, it would not be a win for the Pacers. Maybe the Pacers have a better chance of winning with Bosh taking more threes, but is a three less efficient than Bosh's typical 17 foot jumper? Is Bosh somehow going to rebound less than he already is by taking threes instead of his usual long 2s (it's debateable whether going after offensive rebounds is even a good strategy)? Would bosh taking (and making) 3s not improve floor spacing for the Heat?
If Bosh takes 3s and happens to make a high percentage of them, it's categorically not good for the Pacers.

you are down 4.
You would die if you were a Sixers fan .
But you survived a 15 win season. So you should know true despair.

Or maybe they are. Wade looks so bad I think it's possible whereas prior I did not.

Boozer would have been a better fit in Miami and Bosh would have been a better fit in Chicago. Neither of them rebound, but their styles are better suited for opposite teams.

I'm sure Timmy is going to get inside of Andersen's head like crazy.
Not over yet.
Seems so good for Indy right now, but you guys are only down 4. I hate to say it, but I don't have too much faith in Indy yet to hold on tonight.

People seem eager as hell to give PG the superstar tag.

People are really struggling to fathom how the Miami Heat are losing to a team without at least one superstar so somebody has to get the tag.

I don't think our bigs could bully the Heat as well as Indy's currently are, but we definitely have a deeper rotation and any line up we would field would have infinitely better spacing since we have 6-7 rotation players that can hit open 3's (when Manu is hitting)

He won't ask for it.
I know they're only down 4 but when you look at process vs. result, Indiana has thoroughly bitchslapped Miami around in the process.
The only real fact is that Miami HAS to play better. So far I have been shown zero signs they will. I've been waiting on a FU game from LeBron...instead, he seems rather insistent on getting everyone else going. That's fine, but if this continues I hope he assesses the situation right and doesn't let anyone else touch the ball unless they are wide open.
Not just that, San Antonio's passing is infinitely better than Indy's

We don't want that trash. Martin can actually shoot. We're also better with Perkins and his negative PER...dude knows not to shoot and flop all day long.
He will not be as good as Hibbert or West this series...
