The Pacers sure showed they play better in Miami than the Heat during game 5 in the second half.

On the bright side, the Heat saved Michael Wallace some work this week
Shit, I almost thought Wade had become an ESPN contributor.

As bad as Wade and Bosh were, I still think its because the scheme they are running.
When guys are even taking open 3s (and missing) the other guards and even forwards are nowhere in the paint because they took are hovering for the 3 point shot. WTF I saw like 2-3 plays when Cole, Mario, or Ray Allen took open threes, missed, and instead of being down low to rebound Bosh is around the 3 point line, Haslem is sitting in his sweet spot for his own shot, and Wade who should be slashing to the rim for put backs is just watching.
No energy or sense of urgency for a game that would have granted them a trip to the Finals.
I like the Heat and want them in the Finals, but I just don't see it. Its not just missing open looks, its the effort and scheme. When they cut the lead to 4, they acted like they won already. AGAIN. Fall back early, work super hard to tie or get back into it, and then act like they won already again. Fucking morons.
Perfect example when they cut it to 4, Cole missed a wide open 3 off a great look, and the camera clearly showed Wade on the opposite corner just standing watching the shot go up and be rebounded. Why not fucking run to the rim for a possible put back or rebound?
Its almost like going into half up by 1 was a curse cause they thought oh we can just sleep walk through the rest of the game. Can't let a young hungry team contend for the Finals now. Just 1 game and they get in. They will win.
SA-IND finals.

Current Top 10:
1) LeBron
2) Kobe
3) Melo
4) Durant
5) Curry
6) Durant
7) Love, even though he was out all year basically, he'll be back next and should put up the same insane numbers
7) CP3
8) Hibbert
9) LMA
10) Rondo, same deal as Love

There's really no point in panic since it's not in our control
Just enjoy the ride however it may end

Wade I don't want to hear shit about "we". No YOU need to play better. "We need to do better to get players involved", we got you involved, you cant hit shit.
Except Hibbert's arms weren't even close to being straight up. Good God you people are blind as fuck.

Such a troll.
I'd cut bosh and wade's minutes. Give miller/anderson/anthony more minutes.
I want to see more Cole too. He's a better defender than chalmers and doesn't have that Wario side to him.
Feels like it's the Cavaliers all over again. Only difference is, instead of expecting lebron to have to carry the team because everyone sucks around him, this time the only 4 players showing up for the Heat are Lebron, Anderson, Miller and Cole.
What's Chalmers done outside of a small spurt in game 4? Wade and Bosh are non-existent (especially Bosh). Allen/Battier are inconsistent and poor on defense.
You're getting almost 30 a game from lebron...where's the entire rest of the offense? Just embarassing. If they lose this series, the last person that deserves ridicule is James, but he'll get it anyways. Completely ass-backwards.

from Lance Stephenson's wiki page....tell me this isn't true:
hibbert is definitely not a top 10 player, also nice puting durant twice

Yeah, but even if the Heat win game 7 and get to the finals, they only have three days to heal up before playing San Antonio. Maybe the rest-or-rust thing will bite the Spurs in the ass, but even so, shit's not looking good.

Parker? Rose? Melo above Durant?
The end of this ride could be Lebron leaving miami, Wade retiring to a swinger community, and Bosh being your first option.
I turned it off, I was getting too pissed
Riley will pull off some moves like he always does but I would hate for the heat to waste Lebron's best years

Hibbert gets novelty calls. "Oh, shit? We still have true centers? No foul!"
Dwight kils him.

LeBron James has 171 points in this series. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh combined? 155.
@tomhaberstroh
Chris Bosh held to single-digit scoring for 3rd game in a row. 1st time he's done that since Feb. 2004. He was a rookie.

did you see him play this year before the post season?
11.9 PPG on 44.8% shooting and 8.3 RPG for a guy who's 7'2" nearly 300?

There it is.
Rando: Yes, he is. Doesn't matter if he only avged 11ppg in the reg season, the guy played 29 mpg. Look at what he's done in the playoffs, averaging 20/10 and just dominating games. He's clearly a top 10 player.

Different series, different matchups. I think we will be fine. Of course assuming Wade can play basketball but I am not sure of that anymore.
Yeah hype up Rondo and forget Tony, no problem, keep at it dude

Hibbert is most definitely a top ten player. I will without a doubt agree that we could've played better (and that Donnie Walsh is a terrible GM currently ). Come on Donnie; Green, Augustine, and Mahinmi as key additions off the bench? But, I believe we can definitely improve.
Edit: I apologize for not being there when my team loses but goddamn that shit is too depressing. We need more Pacers fans here.
Gasol would have done the heat worse than Hibbert is doing them now. Miami frontline fucking sucks.
