2014 NBA EC Finals: IND (1) vs MIA (2)

[otwok]

Anyone who says that the Bulls/Heat series in 2011 was a cake walk because Heat won in 5 is revisionist. The Heat outscored the Bulls by a total of 11 points throughout the series. The only game that was a blowout was game 1, and the Bulls had a double digit 4 quarter lead in the last 2-3 games.


I also want to say Heat in 6 against pacers

Would be hilarious if it ended up being Miami and Wiz. That would be pure entertainment.

It wasn't as close as you're trying to make it seem,it was close but it wasn't that close. Games 4,5 were the close ones and they were won by a total of 11 points

We are well prepared for either team.

In game 2 with 2 minutes left it was a 3 point game. That is a close game regardless of the final score.

Game 4 went to OT. In OT it was a 4 point game with 52 second left. That was a close game.

So yes. It was that close.

Are bulls fans still campaigning for the closest 5-game back door sweep in NBA history award? Yikes.

These were low scoring games so of course point spreads don't tell the whole story. A 5-8 point lead in these grindfests were significant leads, relatively speaking.

What's not relative is that it was 4-1. The Bulls, at no point, put the Heat anywhere close to elimination, so by definition, it wasn't close.

Let it go. You don't hear OKC, BOS, BRKN, and PHI saying these things about their five game series losses.

So which Pacers are going to show up against The Heat? That's the question we have to consider. We know the Pacers are capable of playing really, really bad basketball. We also know they can play at a high-level. Do the Pacers get up against the Heat?

[therealbig3]

So the Raptors aren't in the Eastern Conference Finals? Damn, could have fooled me...Raptors fans are really excited about something.

Undoubtedly the Heat ass kicking version...

It's the kind of excitement one feels when their teams core players are under the age of 40.

If they show up any other way they're in for a very short, anticlimactic series.

Either way, I don't think it's crazy to say that we all know it's going to be another Heat vs Spurs finals this year.

No way does Indy have the fortitude to beat Miami 4 times. They may win a game or two, and they'll definitely make it more fun than the Nets, but that's not saying much.

Cool, a young team without any playoff success. Wonder why more Pistons and Kings fans aren't here?

And your comment doesn't apply to any team in the league. If you're going to be snarky, make some sense.

Ok. It's the kind of excitement one experiences when their team hasn't traded away a half decades worth of draft picks.

Oh I see. But draft picks that never equal any sort of success? Meh.

IDK, not that exciting imo. The Raptors have had a young team for a while, and they've been crap most of that time anyway. And anyone good that they draft is probably going to leave anyway.

I guess 1 and dones and developing stars for other teams to enjoy is exciting to some people.
