just loved listening to Mike and Mike this am. as Kravitz predicted almost all the talk is about what's wrong with Miami and not what's right with Indiana. Greenie is even saying they need to dump Wade because his game is too much like LeBron's and it creates a debate about who should shoot. there isn't a Pacer that doesn't know the answer to that. it's the player who is open and if both are defended it is the player with the better match up. the media doesn't help either when they rail against Chambers and Blake taking good shots instead of some star forcing up a bad shot.

this might not have shown up on TV but there was a great moment in the game right after the Heat scored a fairly easy basket. before we went back on offense D West had the players huddle up on the court. I have no idea what he said although you could see Paul George nodding his head as if he understood what to do differently. quite a contrast to the shouting matches on the Heat sideline. as Vogel said in the game two presser, I'm sure glad David's on our team.

^^ Lance has an unique way of celebrating by shoving the hell out of his mates. One time Miami called timeout after Roy went off, and on his way back to the bench Lance confronted Roy with a lot of intensity. I've gotta admit, it fires me up when he does it.

It's supposed to be 'a' because it's a 'y' sound and it's based on sound, not spelling.

Amazing win, but I expect Miami (especially Wade) to bring it on Sunday. I'm still concerned about the bench. I'm glad the guys subdued their own celebrations, though, and let the crowd do all that for them.

to protect our bench, we probably need to alter our rotation so PG rests with Wade rests. Barbosa isn't as tall as Miller or Jones but he's got enough speed to stay in front of them on D and get around them on O. Wade's too much for him though.

maybe, but he's had a bad attitude since high school and players like him never get it, nor can he back it up. just a warning,,,,,he'll cause problems before he gets traded

Sorry, I was using the vowel rule. Thanks for the lesson, sound over spelling that is.

Lance has had attitude problems in the past but according to all sources he's over them now. He is a great cheerleader and bench presence at the moment. He constantly supports his teammates.

Lance is with the program for now, and it seems like he's improving in that area as well as basketball for the time being. He's in a position right now where if he screws up royally, the team isn't going to suffer much for it.

So happy for this team, and it's been a pleasure watching this young team grow together. Bird's two acquisitions in the offseason David West and George Hill have been nothing short of amazing.

Regarding Stephenson, he doesn't need to be doing that, but I have no problem whatsoever with him cheering on his teammates and encouraging them.

It would've been way more awesome if he did in Miami after sinking a three.

if Lance had done it for any other team, I'd have problems with it, but here I just see it as an homage to Reggie.

He won't ever be traded, as he has no value on the trade market. He'll just be waived. He's a minimum salary players. The second he screws up (again), he's gone.
