I guess the Pacers are done now? Are we back to discussing how the Heat match up with the Spurs?

That's what she said.

Pacers got jobbed at the end. That LeBron swipe on Goerge Hill was a shooting foul (ala Duncan move) and then not called for a foul leading to a DWade tip-in dunk. That was crucial. Pacers only down 3.

Not sure if serious. Could've been called a foul but PG also fouled LeBron on that foul which could've been a 3 point play if he didn't miss that.

Funny how the only guy who's blaming the refs in this thread has a Kobe avatar.

lol at you saying i'm the only one blaming the refs here... Refs actually made a decent job officiating this game. Just wanted the game to be almost fare and square. Still have the Heat in 7 though.

"LeBron James and Dwyane Wade scored or assisted on the Miami Heat's final 33 points in Game 2." per NBA.com. Neat stat.

The two most memorable scenes from the game: the mass exodus from the Pacers arena, and the one that wished injury luck on Wade limping near the end of the game.

Pacers shot 47% from 3 tonight after 42% in game one. They better hope to keep getting offensive rebounds at the same rate because it's going to hurt when they regress to the mean from the outside.

This is true. MIA defense basically dares you to beat them 4 times from the perimeter, they always give up the 3 in favor of collapsing the paint.

Teams can burn them for a game or two, but over the course of a 7 game series your just playing the odds. And as you suggest if the Pacers cool off, those long rebounds could lead to transition buckets. Def something to watch.

I loved Mark Jackson's announcing. In response to Wade and LeBron taking over "There comes a time when you gotta send the kids to bed."

I love it even more when Mark Jackson says Wade is the 3rd Best SG of all-time

As I read the bold text like a narrator, the bounce pass from Lebron to Wade for the dunk in the final moments cMe to mind in slow mo'. I liked it.

Indiana is 3-11 at Miami in the Big 3 Era. But two of the wins came in the last two playoff series between the two teams (one win in Miami in 2012 playoffs and one win in Miami in 2013 playoffs).

Here's the data and box scores.

2010-11 reg season G14 -----------> http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=301122014 [93-77 IND]
2012 Playoffs Box G02 ----6g------> http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=320515014 [78-75 IND]
2013 Playoffs Box G02 ----7g------> http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400466595 [97-93 IND]

So there still looks to be a decent chance that Miami could need to win one more game in Indiana to take the series. Best bet for the Heat, of course, is to take both G3 & G4 at home and then go up 3-1 going back to Indianapolis.

Chris Bosh did not play in Game 2 of the 2012 MIA-IND playoff series that is linked above. Miami had the full Big 3 in the other two above linked games.
