So happy to see Indiana win. I mean, it gives me hope that we aren't that far off from them given the right coach (which I don't think is Ty), and a couple more pieces and development. Although Indiana did have an easier road.

How big was the bad fast break? Game tied with 2 minutes left, James throws it to Wade and fills the lane, and Wade goes to injured and ineffective Chalmers for a 3 rather than passing it to the full speed MVP? Worst case scenario is George picks up his 5th foul and James gets two FTs.

Indy has to feel pretty good about this series right about now.

Sure they do, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Heat win the next 3 games.

The reverse dunk in traffic, was epic. Not because of it being reverse, but because doing it reverse was the best option to get the job done. Not a hotdog play at all. As far as in game dunk's go, that's about as good as Clyde in the NCAA semi's or Marques Johnson doing a one handed reverse in the Marriott Center.

I think I would. The Heat really need someone besides Bron right now. The've gone from a Big 3 to a Big 1 and then everyone else. Wade and Bosh have hit 20 points only one each in 11 playoff games now. I'm not sure they can advance without getting more from those guys.

So a ball can cause a foul.

Your dad and I were laughing about that one. Such a bad call!

The officiating in this series has been pretty bad all around.

LeBron has two big TOs late in Game 2, says in presser following the game that the first stat he always looks at is TOs, and that he'll get better.

Plays 41 minutes on the road against the 2nd best defensive team in the league, and has zero TOs. The Heat had five total.

This. I had the same thought recently. Wade hadn't been playing even near an all-star level, let alone the all NBA guy we expect. Bosh is what he is - a soft, perimeter oriented tall guy with some talent who will always be inconsistent. I missed the game last night, but it looks like Wade may have played the best all around game on the team. They won by near 20. Probably not a coincidence.

The Pacers are probably killing themselves for having Hibbert out of Game 1 at the end now. Should be 2-1, with them still able to win the series in Indy.

Will that be the most costly substitution since Stockton/Eisley in the 3rd quarter of game 7 against the Sonics 96?

Paul George last night: 3-10 shooting, 5 turnovers, 2 rebounds, 8 assists.

And the Pacers want to give this guy a max contract?

[clackamascoug]

I usually watch 90% of the NBA playoff games. This year it's been around 50%, with my interest peaking in the conference finals. I think Miami/San Antonio is going to be a 6 game series, with Miami winning.

Chris Ryan can sure turn a phrase.

The above image is the moment Mays is talking about when he suggests there was "some point" when LeBron James decided he was going to take Paul George down on the block, tell him a bedtime story, and insert him headfirst into a wood chipper, all while affectionately calling him "young fella" and giving him dap.

Also Robert Mays:

Most players in the NBA have carved out a niche that’s required years and countless hours to shape. They’re unique pieces that fit on any given team because all the others do. But what if you could be whichever piece you wanted? What if you could do everything? James has gotten to the point where he has to choose which player he wants to be at any given moment, and his mastery of that is just as baffling as the choice existing at all.

Also Robert Mays:

He definitely gave George a beatdown on the block last night. And it's amazing how many of those he finished with his left hand.
