Why do teams even take a flyer on Bynum? He's made it abundantly clear that he doesn't want to do anything but cash a check. Dude should be flipping burgers at McDonald's
(not that there's anything wrong with that, fast food GAF!).
Watching the game again, Miami really let Indy of the hook. So many missed 3s (While Pacers made 8-19) and LeBron didn't attack the rim like he usually does. Also in the 2nd half, they started trapping the ballhandler on the PnRs so I expect that from the start next game
Pacers also got a ton of calls refs usually don't call against Miami. Heat in 6 cos the conditions of this game are unsustainable

Danny Granger enjoyed the Pacer win today
Mother of god.LeBron needs to back to the 2013 game plan to get those calls against Indiana.
Second best? He was the best
Funny people not mentioning how Indy looked so easily moving the ball so easily vertically to the deep post last night, yeah they're hot.. but Heat still must do something to that, they can't have Indy bigs so easily got the ball with just 2-4 pass, and very deep in the post, shit Hibbert and West still able to pass one more time at some moment, their interior got wrecked so bad.
Yep. Miami's pick & roll defense was not very good. Definitely need to adjust.
I think Pacers played the best game of their life. They were nearly perfect in their offense. Hibbert had an atypical game, and the whole team was hitting 3's incredibly.
Honestly I don't think this will happen again in Game 2. And Miami will for sure correct the lack of intensity they had. Bosh played awfully. He bricked every 3 (why on earth is he taking that shot? I'd rather have him taking long 2's than a open 3).
Game 2 for Miami IMO.

Bron flopped all the way back to the FT line.
Bitchassness.

Ainge would be dumb enough to trade a top 3 pick for Love, smh
if the Celtics fall to #5 or worse pick then I'd say trade but trading a top 3 pick is a no no unless they gave Sved god too
Love would leave too.
Wade wasted those 29 points, think he will get 10-15 next game

I would trade a top 3 pick in this draft for Love if he agrees to an extension with zero hesitation. You think Parker, Embid or Wiggins will be as good as him? I take the proven commodity all day every day. Embid is the only player that would make me think twice based on hypothetical upside as a big.

Big changes are afoot!
NBA to Overhaul Replay System.
Looks like they're going to move the review process to the NY office, where they'll havet he benefit of seeing multiple feeds on large screen televisions. No fan influence, no noisy stadium distracting the refs, no "make up" calls.
Additionally, this hints that they will also be allowed to review clear foul calls. Yes, please.

Or how Haberstroh put it on Twitter:
I still think it's Heat in 6 or 7. Pacers had an amazing game. Heat didn't show up. I don't see that happening again. Hell of a time for the Pacers to hit their stride. At least if the Heat win, they can't be blamed for riding a weak ECF to the Finals.
The Spurs-Heat rematch will be a tossup though. If any team can beat the Heat in a 7 game series, it's the Spurs.

You've been in panic mode since you foolishly said this Heat team would have the best regular season ever. Since then, it's been nothing but excuses. The Heat could have been the best ever...but they just didn't care. They were bored. Unconcerned.
It's going to be a long offseason pondering what went wrong when the Pacers bounce these fools out of the playoffs. LeBron is going to take his talents elsewhere, and you're looking at a nuclear winter in Florida.
Enjoy the Dolphins!
Hater. No matter what happens MJ and Dan Marino's jersey's will always be hanging from the Heat rafters.

Indy ran more PnR than I've ever seen them run and Miami didn't start trapping the ballhandler till the 2nd half. Game 2 will be very different IMO

Lol, no one in this draft is guaranteed to be better than a 25 year old Kevin Love any time soon if ever. Embiid is the only one and that's because of his defensive potential. Ainge is very smart.
lol Miami could get swept by the Pacers and Lebron isn't going anywhere, that's a fact. There is 0% chance, it simply won't happen. You can forget about that dream. One does not choose to leave Miami.

This one isn't a prediction, though. I know this for a fact. What I don't know for a fact is whether he will opt out, but he almost definitely will, not to shop around but to restructure his contract.

No you're right, Game 1 means everything, we're in panic mode now...oh wait
Keep trying to make yourself feel better with that pic lmao! You realize Heat usually had home court advantage in most of those right? You realize heat been through 3 finals already right? These guys are human,they get tired,etc. It's not a grantee heat win.

Good, the bad officiating is one of the major flaws to the game
Please no, we'd have a great starting line up but our bench would suffer tremendously. I like Love, but it's not worth dismantling our backups for.
I'm pretty content with our line up right now but Barnes needs to show up and the team needs to get their head in the game. We also need to get rid of Steve Blake.

Ha... TNT just showed Game of Zones.
This Heat team hasn't won a road game1 before. It isn't a big deal. You have to split the road openers. It doesn't matter which order. Indy had an outlier night. If they can do that all series, more power to them. I'm not betting on it. PEACE.
They weren't on defense. And offense wasn't the problem last night. So I'd say yeah, they lost because they weren't trying. Our defense is almost entirely effort-based. PEACE.

They were trying but pacers moved the ball pretty good. One thing i noticed is that the heat is not as good as the past.The defense is in spurts now instead of consistent. I saw it in the nets series.

Why is this thread so dead 
Hands down.
Still waiting....

What the fuck does that even mean?? If you're gonna talk shit, back it up or shut it the fuck up!
Then maybe you can tell everyone again about how Rondo is a poor distributor and a ballhog and has worse shooting tendencies then Westbrook....and then crawl away when the board proves you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
