So Grant Hill just announced his retirement. Sign him up, ESPN. You desperately need some help with your analysts.

Spoelstra: "Next man up", "We have enough".

Um, Thibs will be expecting royalties for that.

I don't think Spo should be using those phrases yet. He needs about two or three more guys to go down or get hurt before he can. Get that Hollywood-sauce outta here. I suppose you could sympathize towards Wade and Bosh if they have some nagging stuff, but still.

Pacers should win just so they can bang the Heat up more for the Spurs' advantage.

Just watch. So many coaches will be using that line next year, Thibs will be voted COTY automatically.

Indiana's guards seriously need to get it together.

Bosh just set a blatant illegal screen. Funny how we haven't seen an illegal screen called since Game 4. These refs are just so inept.

Can Wade shoot the ball without pump faking first?

Chris Bosh making 3 pointers is infuriating.

Hill used to date a family friend while he was still in college. I never got to meet him personally, but I was told secondhand that he was a true gentleman and one of the kindest men she ever met. She went on to marry some abusive creep, and he went on to be, well, Grant Hill.

Wade coming up lame again. He's just a gimp out there. A rested Manu can potentially run circles around him.

It's infuriating how good of an offensive player Hibbert has become (or looks like) in this series. Looks like a legit 1st option.

I love Indiana's energy in the early going. It's still the slow, deliberate tempo that favors them, but they're after every loose ball. It's nice to watch hustle vs. entitlement.

West and Hibbert are having strong series, but they aren't prime Duncan and Shaq. You can't just expect 30-35 points outta them even with significant mismatches.

Grant Hill went on to be the abusive creep? Or Grant Hill went on to be Grant Hill the classy pro?

He would be a legit first option if he fought for better post position more consistently. Half the time he gets the ball 15 feet from the basket.

The latter. They went on to lead separate lives in North Carolina. Grant Hill went on to become Grant Hill, while she went on to marry a different man, who was a creep.
