Indy is a team that's so hard to root for. Ditto Miami.
I guess it's Let's Go Spurs the rest of the way.
Indy called timeout one possession too late there.

Won't matter. The Pacers are such a stupid team
You have a size advantage and they don't even call post ups
They run pick and roll and don't realize the HEAT love to trap it and the Pacers don't move the ball so its always a turnover.
HEAT are gonna win by 15.

Yeah, I'm trying to root for Indy, but I really don't like even one player on that team. I would hate to have Scola on my team, and yet - I think they blew it by not using him more. He was clearly out-playing Bosh for a good stretch, but when Bosh came out for Rashard Lewis, Indy took out Scola. If Bosh can't cover Scola, how is Lewis going to do it? And while Lewis does nothing on the court, he got a plus 21, because Indy chose not to take advantage of his lousy defensive ability.
I don't think the problem was not going to West and Hibbert enough. West was turning the ball over too much, and let's face it - they don't have a PG who can feed the post well.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 2
WOW. Ibaka is playing only 10 days after straining his calf pretty bad. Scott Brooks says he will play with no restrictions.
Is he crazy??? If Ibaka re-injures himself, you're messing up next season potentially.
Reggie Jackson is also starting for Sefalosha.
I get that OKC is desperate but wow...

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 2
Jeez.
The Spurs are so damn smart and professional. Feels like OKC should be up by a few. But they're down 1.
I want a job that pays me money to interview Pops. That's got to be the easiest job on TV. (If you don't have any expectations).

Looks like Ibaka was never seriously injured. Spurs missed a bunch of wide open looks too.

MIA is playing great but the Pacers are one stupid team.
I think the Wizards would have played better vs. Miami. Especially with that trap pick and roll defense.

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 2
Paul George and the Pacers are doing something really difficult: they are making Miami the more likable team. The insipid yammering by George about how they outplayed the Heat is laughable.
The Pacers are about as stupid of a team as Cleveland.
I just watched the Lebron/Wade post-game interview. They were the mature and thoughtful interview. Paul George, etc, are turning me in to an Indy hater.
Sheesh.

The matter of a fact way LeBron explains that FTs weren't the reason they won was hilarious

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 2
Pop should start Diaw or bring him in after the first whistle in Game 5
Need to play a stretch lineup vs. Ibaka
And Joseph should get Belinelli's minutes or most of them since he's a scrappy defender
OKC made adjustments, the Spurs must make theirs
Game 5 is the series

Re: NBA Games Discussion Thread - Part 2
Pop made a great adjustment starting Bonner with Duncan. Then opened the 2nd half with Diaw at PF. Really gave Duncan more room to work and left Ibaka out the paint.
Spurs are now +58 for the series over 5 games. That's almost +12 per game, including the losses. Impressive.
