well done Indiana, well fought out.

Lebron looking like he's back in Cleveland, where did the other stars go?

Can the Big One take down the Pacers in Game 7?

I can't decide who I want to win this series. LeBron vs. San Antonio sounds a lot more fun than Indiana-SA.

This is the reason why I can't even fathom to compare LeBron to Jordan. All I keep hearing is that LeBron is not getting enough help, but when I look at his stats, he's basically putting up worst numbers than he did during the regular season. Legendary players elevate their game to further heights when they reach the playoffs. As dominant of a force as LeBron is, he should be putting up at least 40 points every game & a few 50 point games when his teammates don't show up

I don't know, man. After what I've seen from him since game 5 of the Boston-Miami series last year I've taken it a whole lot easier on Bron. He has been playing out of his mind and I don't think that you can criticize him after, firstly, the series is not over yet, secondly, they almost broke a seemingly unbreakable NBA record and, thirdly, he has no help during this series at all. Chris Andersen might be the second best Heat player during this Indy series.

Unfortunately, I expect Bron going for 40/10/10 and hitting two of those back-breaking threes when the Pacers are down by smth like 4 in the middle of the fourth. Go Pacers though!!

lol. A rather impulsive reaction to the hiring of a head coach. I bet most of them don't even know the slightest thing about Drew.

Go Pacers! I can't wait to hear the hysteria if LeBron and the Heat lose Game 7 at home. Bring a big smile to my face just thinking about it.

DJ Augustin and Boris Diaw could both be in finals. What.

The Bobcats were holding them back.

He would need to get 40/10/10. That alone probably won't get them the win though. It seems like so far in this series all their wins came when one of their role players gets hot, i.e. Udonis Haslem in Game 5. It's sad that they are getting nothing from Wade and Bosh.

Coach Pop is loving this though. I can see Pop taking away defensive ideas from the Pacers and using it if the Heat wins game 7 and advances.

if you are a believer in stern conspiracies and believe he has a history of instructing refs favor big market teams or star players in the conf finals in ensure high ratings in the finals, then tomorrows game should provide a lot of evidence one way or the other. there are few conf final games in recent history that would impact the ratings of the finals as much as this game. we all know that a pacers vs spurs final would have abysmal ratings compared to heat vs spurs. some recent examples that were similar - sonics vs suns (barkley mvp) in 1993 with bulls waiting for winner, pacers vs bulls 1998 with utah waiting for the winner, blazers vs lakers in 2000 with pacers waiting for winner, lakers vs kings in 2002 with san antonio waiting for the winner. in all those cases the big market or team with the bigger superstars won the game and in all cases the officiating was grossly slanted towards the winning team.

I'm almost sure that Stern will bring out the most dubious refs like Joey Crawford and Scott Foster for Game 7.

I was thinking about this the other day.

Our 2010 playoff squad:

Raymond Felton (Knicks) / DJ Augustin (Pacers)
Stephen Jackson (Was a Spur before getting booted right before playoffs)
Gerald Wallace (Nets)
Boris Diaw (Spurs)
Nazr Mohammad (Bulls) / Tyson Chandler (Knicks)

3 years ago, and our entire rotation is off the team and playing on 6 different playoff teams
