Offense isn't the problem. Lebron with 25, Wade with 23, ray Allen with 12, Anderson with 14. It's the defense, they're getting whatever they want. Good news is Indiana's not exactly a great offensive team. Gotta make adjustments and attack the rim in G2.

Pretty sure everyone who complains knows refs aren't the main factor here. The reason why Heat fans feel like pointing out the bad officiating that goes in favor of their opponents is because everyone says that the refs favor the Heat all the time.

I hate when analyst or announcers praise ball movement and in rhythm jump shots, when they fall in. But they never acknowledge open shots or good ball movement when the shots don't fall. Sometimes it just comes down to making the shots and not all the extra stuff.

It'll be interesting to see how the Heat handle Hibbert/West with the addition of Scola this year bc Anderson cant play the entire game every night. Who are Miami's other bigs?

Yeah if they lose game 2 they're In a bad position. 2-0 definitely puts the pressure on the heat.
I do not agree. Heat needs to win game 2 more. Yes, given that the Pacers will lose homecourt advantage, I just don't see both teams losing 2 consecutive games, or three for that matter. If Heat loses, they can possibly go back to Indy down 1 - 3.

Seriously? All those bricks?.. Not driving enough?... LeBron not stepping up?..
I dont see the Heat winning with LeBron scoring less than 30 in this series... Not against this Pacers team, and their current form.
and whats Bosh doing?... overrated, overpaid, useless.

I've come to the conclusion that most folks don't really care that you broke one of the rules... they just enjoy telling you that you broke it.

The comment itself is so contradictory, why do you think we couldn't
You can't complain about officiating being an important factor in who wins when your team can't even get to single digits. Or are you implying that refs stole 15-20 points from you?

If Evan Turner doesn't play on this series, I think the Pacers have a real shot here.

Heat's defense depends on their forwards and guards. If they play as bad as they did tonight for the rest of the series, GG.

Even when the game is over the Pacers still getting touch fouls.

Both Wade and James might have the quietest 25 points I have seen this post season outside of Aldridge getting like 32 vs the Spurs in the 1st game vs the Spurs.

I would expect Miami's energy and trapping to be much more aggressive game 2. And the proper adjustments to be made to the pick and roll.

Bosh, Haslem, Hamilton, and Oden. The latter two won't see the court. Expect Spo to use Lewis heavily as a "big" in the upcoming games.
