The round we WON 4-1?
Is this real life?

First, I do not know anything about Hoiberg, I don't follow NCAA. So I'm not defending him here. Second, we won 4-1 just because of Rose's heroics. We didn't take the lead in the first game until the last minute, Rose scored 39, won by 5. Second game, we also won in the 4th quarter, by 6. Rose scored 36. Third game, we won by 4. 4th game, lost by 5. Last game, won by 27. It was much close than you think. Pacers are still butt-hurt for a reason. Vogel clearly outcoached Thibs in that series with much less talented team.
Indiana in the Frank Vogel era:
2014: Lost 4-2 to Miami
2013: Lost 4-3 to Miami
2012: Lost 4-2 to Miami
2011: Lost 4-1 to Chicago
I really, really, really never got this particular complaint. Indiana has been putting it to Miami for years and should have beat them in 2013. Chicago beating them in 5, with a few being close, was no sin.
