MIAMI HEAT (35-12) @ INDIANA PACERS (28-19)

MIAMI HEAT

VS.

INDIANA PACERS

Good Luck Charm: In Ashley we trust!

... and the spirit of Jamaal Magloire:

... and of course the almighty Chris Quinn

because after last night's loss, the overreaction 1-on-1 claims we'll have to count those soon:

With that being said: Let's.Not.Suck!

If we can out defend, rebound & run them we will win. If we still dwell on last nights loss and let our egos play for us we will lose. Its time to come play all 48 minutes not just show up this is the NBA not little league against scrub teams we barely hang on at times or we make come back against contenders WE LOSE we cant keep playing the way we are. NO MORE EXCUSES ITS TIME TO BALL LIKE MEN, HEAT GET IT DONE.

Didn't happen all the time, but some of OKC's pick-and-roll coverage on LeBron reminded me an awful lot of how aggressive Dallas was

Still don't get some comments about MIA frontcourt. Almost all Perkins/Ibaka shots were coverage issues you can solve with speed/awareness.

Poor rotations all night, but nothing the players that were on the floor aren't capable of doing better

As with earlier Bucks loss, much easier to withstand individual offense (Jennings 3's in that one) if baseline rotations are tight.

Just execution. All stuff they've had issues with and fixed before. Regular season cycle.

Bosh ejected in the 2nd quarter

Danny Granger scores a career high 50 points and Jeff Foster scores game winning 4 point play hook shot from corner three because norris cole bit on the pump fake and fouled him with 0.6 seconds left

lol regular season cycle ? You must be blind! Bad team habits is what is the cause thats why Dallas beat us is Finals and other CONTENDING teams are beating us too. Coach Rick Carlisle of Dallas even said Coach Spo did not make the adjustments so was easy for them to beat us after first games. TIME TO WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE AND WE END UP LOSING AGAIN IN PLAYOFFS/FINALS. If we do not win it this year i doubt we will win it next year unless we can get Superman or someone to DOMINATE the paint not slim jim diet Bosh lol

Cooper Moorehead so lame comparing the Bucks to Thunder GET REAL. Bucks don't have offensive fire power like Thunder do with Durant, Westbrook & Harden. Nor do the Bucks have a good of defense as Thunder either. Cooper Moorehead just a brown nose since he works for Heat lol he gets paid to make them look like God's lol

oh great, next night play against a tough Indy team.

WHen we were at our best, we blew these guys out. When struggling, LBJ and Wade had to be clutch as hell.

Man, just sit LeBron out (he looks gassed and I want him healthy because of his elbow anyway) and if we win or lose, so be it.

I don't even care anymore lol.

We historically suck at backtoback games. Screw that one road trip we had, that's when we were on a mission. Now they don't even care about anything.

I expect the Pacer's to come out really motivated and aggressive, considering the last two meets didn't end in their favor.

With that said, tonight will be a success.

looking forward to tonights game

RhapidKid · Post #13 » by **RhapidKid** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 5:58 pm

I hope Spo asks Bron to sit his ass down!He's clearly hurt and its hurting the team on offense because he doesn't want to drive to the hoop in order to avoid contact. See how sitting Wade turned out good? I'd like to see Bron wearing a damn suit on the bench! Quit forcing it! We can win with Wade & Bosh.

meh

after losing so bad last night tonight's game means nothing to me

win? big deal ... start winning when it matters damnit

if wade or lebron are having a bad night, feed bosh and vice versa... we need to learn to adapt instead of going by the script every night .. defenses are starting to pick up on the heat.

When it matters? Um was last night the NBA Finals?

I miss Quinn! That pic got hella swag!
We should wake up from last night and just demolish the Pacers. And if I ever see Wade attempting only 10 shots in a close, competitive game I will personally hunt down Spo.

Indiana hopes it can finally beat the Miami Heat for the first time in six tries tonight at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

"All we said after the game was that we have to beat Miami; we can't get swept by them," center Roy Hibbert said. "We're definitely thinking about it. It's in the back of our minds that we have to come out stronger than we did the first two times."

http://www.indystar.com/article/2012032 ... ext|Sports

Should be a good game. Indiana really wants this one. Our guys also have something to prove after last night's thrashing.

At the end of the day the regular season doesn't matter too much. You beat the Thunder you get 1 win. You beat the Bobcats you get 1 win.

It would be nice to have HCA against west teams if we make it that far. I don't think we'll catch Chicago.
