Game 4
Posted: Tue May 29, 2012 4:35 pm
Sorry to re-hash so late... I've been busy...
Watching the first quarter of game 4 I saw something different from the Pacers that I hadn't seen in games 1-3.
Nervous anticipation
I felt like the Pacers were all business for the first 3 teams and then somewhere in that first quarter of game 4 when the Pacers were off to a hot start and the Heat's heads were down the guys seemed to collectively say, "Holy @#$&, we're going to win this," and that's when it started crashing down. It feels like a timeout could have helped, but it just felt like the Pacers had a chance to be up 20 at halftime and crush Miami's spirit. Once up 3-1... Well, 3 chances to win 1 game would seem to be pretty good odds.
Did anyone else see that?
