Game 21 Heat @ Pacers

[mikepacernation]

What a well deserved victory. The team played great. Shouldn't underestimate the value Orlando Johnson brought tonight on defense but it was very telling, and the announcers mentioned it in the game, that going down the stretch, Vogel had both Watson and Scola in while Hill and West sat for a bit longer. Total faith in the bench and Bird's summer additions really paid off tonight. Watson had a game tonight that Augustin never once had. He was very active all night. Playing at another speed.

Paul George is the best.

I thought Watson played amazing really! And PG looked dominate on defense yea he had like two slip ups but all in all whoever he guarded he was pretty solid

I can't stand when my mates call Lance Stephenson trash when they haven't even watched him this year.

I love Lance and this game is exactly why I love him. That steal near the end when he dribbled into the keeper was amazing and deserved the basket.

Just watched it and was glued to it from beginning to end. Great game, great team performance. I agree on OJ, I am probably one of his biggest critics, but he brought it defensively tonight. CJ was playing out of his skin and the recipe to beat the Heat was in full swing with our inside presence completely overwhelming the Heat on both ends of the floor.

Although I was criticizing PG for his first half offensively, it is only half the story, he continuously demanded double teams, meaning the Heat were quickly running out of energy which really showed in the second half, he also did a great job defensively. This also made me realise that another key-factor in this team is stamina, the reason we keep beating teams in the third quarter is because we can then exploit tiredness in the opponent.

I am fully confident that if we can top the East table at the end of the season, we can take the Heat down.

I fully expect this game thread to reach 2 pages!

I fully expect you to not make it to your 1 year anniversary here!

I don't recognize his name so maybe you have other messages in mind that I don't remember, but I thought this one was funny.

there once was a little Lance who had a little curl shaved right above his forehead
when he was good, he was very, very good, and when he was bad he was horrid.

I don't know any Pacer fans who are down on Lance although many of us are worried that we'll have trouble keeping him without paying luxury tax.`sure we cringe from time to time, but who isn't that true of.
