Miami Heat are more physical than the Dolphins, problem is this isn't football. The refs must have their whistles up their arses.

You guys make me jealous with your ball movement. It's amazing. Pacers are a team the Heat don't want to play in the first round, that's for sure.

Damn it!

Yeah, hopefully not Danny. Not sure though. That took a long time to develop and looked a little flat so I wonder if someone didn't do their job or ran the wrong way or something. No timeouts left at that point so nothing much Dahntay could do, but still...tough to go out like that.

Still pretty impressed with the game tonight. Another nice balanced scoring attack with four players scoring 15 or more and shot 52% overall. If we were still playing Obie ball, well, we wouldn't even have been within earshot of winning this game, but when we went cool in the 4th and Miami started a run, I truly believe it would've turned ugly and we would've lost by at least 12. But instead, we were within one possession with 9 seconds left. Still a great performance and Vogel's right...no team can look past the Pacers right now. I just want us to be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised off about tonight and take it out on them a week from now. And all that with Roy missing, what, the last 4 minutes or so?

Taking Tyler out at the 8 minute mark was way to early.. Soon as he left the Pacers became soft and no longer interested in attacking the basket. He needs to be getting starter minutes IMO.

I dont want to see Dunleavy being an inbounder anymore.. He almost screwed up a wide open alley oop by leaving the pass way short. Same thing he did against the Warriors.

The bench continues to outplay the starters.

I don't get why we play Dunleavy. The two or three good things he does on offense don't make up for his lack of D.

I hope that once Rush returns, he cuts into Mikey's minutes. D-Jones has played pretty well under Vogel so far. And once Rush returns, it'll be interesting to see where he falls in the rotation.

Luckily he sat most of this game. I think when Rush gets back Vogel will have a tough decision between Jones and Dunleavy. At the very least Posey gets put in a suit.

^^^ Actually Rush was dressed tonight, but I guess Vogel didn't feel he was 100% ready to return, especially against such an explosive team like Miami. And it was TJ who was in street clothes. Posey makes more sense to be in a suit, just in case of foul trouble to Price or Collison.

Yeah, I saw Rush dressed, but he's probably still sore. Lower body injuries are the worst since they really diminish your game legs and it takes a while to get them back.

I think we probably have to play Dunleavy, if only to showcase him for trades. He and Ford are our two best trade chips coming up to the deadline, so we should show them off a bit.

Rush dressed even though not really ready to play because Vogel was worried about Lebron and Wade getting our wings in foul trouble. he could be back in a suit tonight.
