It's not will. They are playing 2 bigs, shaky ballhandlers and no pure shooter against a team that is doubling the ball everytime. Cannot believe Vogel didn't adjust after gm2

Ray Allen missed more FTs than 3s that quarter
David West would have been better served hacking him every time he touched the ball.

Get both of the Davis boys in there. Reggie, Mark Jackson, Rik Smits, Dale and Antonio, David West, Paul George, Lance Stephenson, Jalen Rose. Throw Sam Perkins in there for a random 3.
Heat fans should be on their knees offering Ray Allen free fellatio right now as we speak
For doing his job?

RayRay too stronk.
Pacers have manged to regress this year. Weak minds, collectively. It's not really even enjoyable to watch when they go on tilt (and they will go on tilt).

Perhaps if enough people keep saying it and believing it, it'll come true.

And that second rate point guard what was his name Damon something? Can't remember but he was good glue.
One good job deserves another
Pacers secret weapon to going to the finals: back door hiring of Jonathon Bender. They shouldn't have traded Granger. Even if he wasn't contributing much, he was still contributing and had a leadership role on the team based on seniority if nothing else. I don't think it is a coincidence that the team went to shit as soon as they traded him. They should have gotten rid of him in the off season. They trade really didn't make a lot of sense since he was just getting back and into the grove of actually contributing again when they got rid of him, instead of some time during the past 3 years when he was out and eating money.
We need HAYWOODE WORKMAN!

Whoa Bender, I remember him coming out, that dude had serious potential, but you could instantly see he was prone to injury so he has to limit his game to basic post shit.
So disappointing because he had a sweet swingman game.
Yeah he was a drain, they felt the need to play him.

As happy as I am for Miami getting this win, it really is sad that I still havent seen the LeBron James celebrating dance .gif in here yet.

Dude is unknowingly playing himself out of indiana.. im not so sure they cam resign him.
They might try to overhaul as much as they can after this season, coach included.
Man, it seemed like Bender/Al Harrington/Jermaine O'Neil were going to be the future of the Pacers and carry us into the post-Reggie era.
I dug Jamal. He reminded me a lot of Mark Jackson, but that could have been because I was a kid and maybe all point guards reminded me of Mark Jackson. They definitely should fire Vogel. They need some god damn consistency and he has brought it to them for the first time in a long time. I think it would be a bad move to get rid of him and start all over again. What he was doing was working pretty well until the all star break. He might have ran everyone into the ground, though. There is no explanation for Roy Hibbert, though. He must have some crazy shit going on in his personal life. That or Space Jam 2 is legit and the alien toons stole his talent. Has there ever been someone who dropped off so hard in such a short span?
Knicks vs Pacers is still a big game to me, even though it hasn't been one to anyone outside of Indiana or NY since maybe 2001.

Would be sad if Vogel is made the scape goat for what is turning out to be a deeply flawed team. He should be applauded for coaching back to back ECF appearances out of a roster this overrated. You aren't going to win a title when your best player can't create his own shot and your second best player is a heavy footed 7 footer who is too slow to rebound or score consistently. Vogel is another Rick Carslisle in the making if Indy sacks him.

Y'all need to shut the heck up about the 'lifelongs' Theres like.... 2% of NBA gaf even still posting in this thread compared to 3+ years ago, and a lot of your names seem new to me. You don't get to judge other posters, they don't have to explain/tell you if they are out partying or anything, get some business of your own and stop patrolling the thread with a wristwatch and a spreadsheet taking attendance like an over the hill gym monitor at the neighborhood YMCA.

I have to agree. PG is good, but he isn't good enough, or rather, he isn't good in the right ways. This guy has a lot of trouble creating offense, and it becomes majorly apparent in the post seasons. Im willing to believe Hibbert will get through his bad streak (its a damn long streak, but I'm hoping he gets past it) but this is yet another post season where PG is really not the guy the Pacers need.
I think they need one more piece. Im not even sure what it is, but something.... And at a discount heh.
He made that same little reverse like 3 or 4 times. I was like man.... the boy has found something that works.
I lol'd
The team is very flawed (poor ball-handling, no bench, no pure shooters in rotation and limited scoring). However, I haven't seen any great coaching moves from Vogel. They lost the last 2 games the exact same way and he made ZERO adjustments. You have to play 2 ballhandlers down the stretch vs. Miami and Lance can't be initiating the plays cos it's taking away his offense which they desperately need. Also, Hibbert can be in for defense and putbacks but you CANNOT run plays for him late if you want to win...
Tonight, Miami ran the same P&R play for Wade and got layups over and over. Again, ZERO adjustments. Pacers are overrated but so is Vogel. The EC is just so bad and that's the only reason they go deep in the playoffs.
It's pretty obvious that they need a top-tier PG. I mean, Hill and Watson can barely bring the ball up the court vs. Bron or Cole

LOL Pacers. I shut the game off after the half but I cant believe Indiana managed to choke this game away too. 4th quarter meltdown again?

...yeah now that I'm slightly less mad about the way that game went, that string of "nbagaf attendance sheet" posts I was making were all dumb as hell and I'm sorry for even thinking they were a good idea to post
plus it's hypocritical as hell since I hopped on the Pacers bandwagon last year
Yeah I look good play-fighting with my little cousin, doesn't mean I can beat Mayweather. Not hard to look good against OKC with no paint presence, but Miami > Spurs in an easy 6.

You have no frame of reference to opine that they are better than the Heat "in so many ways". Maybe you don't really follow the Spurs, but they look unstoppable every year. They looked unstoppable last year. For all the talk about Ray's shot in Game 6, why did it even get to Game 6 to begin with if the Spurs are such a force? Why did they then lose Game 7?
The Spurs don't match up well with the Heat, and it is a testament to their sheer talent and finesse that it even got to 7 last season, but I don't think they have it in them to push it past 6 this time around.

Nope. You gonna address the rest of my point, or just cherry-pick the one part of it you can debate and evade the rest?
