When you think Chalmers can't get any more stupid, he throws an unnecessary pass up the court and ruins the Miami momentum.

Mental block perhaps that they suddenly shook off when playing against Washington.

Is Lebron afraid to guard George? When he's guarding Paul, he goes right by him and he's guarding Lance now. Game 1 he was guarding everyone but Paul. Confusing.

Weren't the Heat just as terrible as the Pacers to end the season? What's the big surprise here?

I've always said Lebron is an overrated defender.

More energy to shoot midrange jumpers.

From the bench to LeBron the heat are sloppy, in unforced situations. Bizarre.

Have to assume they think it will gas him out if he guards PG

Miami's really having problems getting any open looks plus Indiana's doing a good job of not giving Lebron any lanes to drive the paint so far

People posting Miami won't win anything until they get a defensive center sound like the same people who posted every single year that Miami lost the first game of the series in the big 3 era. Yet they make it everytime.

Ray getting cooked by PG lol.

I like how PG has been attacking. I didn't even like the bailout jumpers he took a few possessions ago. Keep attacking the paint.

I very much expected the Heat to have a great start. There's a lot of game left though.

doesn't look like a problem for Paul George. He's guarding James pretty well AND making offensive plays.

They've always played well against Miami, even when they were struggling.

The Pacers have worked all year to be here, right now, facing Miami with HCA. They were ready months ago, they just lost their edge in the second half of the season waiting for them all this time.

Miami needs to get their edge up because this is the series the Pacers been focused on all season. Their hunger level is off the charts.

I forgot who said it……but whatever analyst said that the Heat look scared or intimidated of Hibbert…….it really seems like it.
