Hilarious, every time.

It's obvious to anybody who knows a shred about basketball that the Miami Heat are a shoe-in for the NBA Finals. I think only the worst type of homer could think otherwise.

Apparently all those Heat fans that expect a tough series are Pacers homers.

So silly.

Meh, meant to say only the worst kind of homer, dumbass, or Heat fans that are humble to a fault could think otherwise. But let's be real: The Pacers franchise is garbage, and has always been garbage. The highlight of that franchise's misterable history is being the final doormat in the East for Jordan and now LeBron.

This series is far from over. Miami has looked really vulnerable in both games

Lance didn't do any damage when Cole was guarding him. Idk what game you were watching

People say that because we don't see him making game winners and buzzer beaters.

But the haters will forget the previous 15-20 points he scores in the 4th to put his team in that position to win.

LeBron has more playoff game winners in his career than Kobe. With half the playoffs played and with a lot more efficiency. So I don't believe that's the case.

There was a myth created in 2011 in the NBA finals. Did LeBron play like crap against Dallas in the 4th? Yes. I got news for you, after the 3rd quarter in game 2 he played like crap the entire series.

Heat execution was far better in the fourth then Indiana that is all there is to it. This series is going 7 IMO and I think Indiana wins game 3. For all the crap they take, they are pretty good coming off of tough loss.

This thing should be 2-2 heading back to Indiana for an epic game 5.

So many times teams having the perfect opportunity to go up 2 games on the Heat but so many times those teams blow it usually in the 4th quarter.

this is true...

On an off night...he turned into Pippen 94 in the 4th Qrt.

Vogel needs to give PG a break from guarding James at times throughout the game.

Should have kept the ball in Lance's hands tbh.

Yeah, they kept on using the off the ball high screen and George was just horrid with the basketball. Stephenson should've gotten the ball down the stretch.

BIG WIN!

Wade & James took this over in the 4th.
Game Ball goes to Norris Cole for that defense and those big three pointers though!

I think a lot of the playoff "choking" accusations really hit their peak with LeBron when he "quit" on the Cavs in his last season with a "fake" elbow injury.

Seriously, it's like there's 1 or 2 scripts that they just read off. Same generic answers...i'm sure some of the players just play along though. That's why i love Pop's in game interviews... :lol:

Some of you guys are just annoying. God damn Pacers won game 1: Heat got robbed, FT disparity, blah blah blah.

Pacers lose game 2: refs to the rescue, LeBron gets all the calls, blah blah blah.

Both teams won fair and square.

Just create a god damn ref thread so you guys can discuss all you want there.

xBulletproof · Post #2576 » by **xBulletproof** » Wed May 21, 2014 3:18 am

It was a good game. I didn't expect to win it. Scola's existence and Paul George's shooting lost this game. Pacers regularly this year have proven they can't play from ahead.

When I saw Lebron had 12 points at the end of the 3rd I knew we were in trouble. He's going to get his. He played an incredible 4th quarter. Well earned win by Miami.

See ya next month. What a gap until game 3, it's gonna feel like forever. I expect the Pacers to win game 3 though. Having to stew on a loss for 4 days is gonna motivate.

Refs did fine tonight.

Pacers got jobbed at the end. That LeBron swipe on Goerge Hill was a shooting foul (ala Duncan move) and then not called for a foul leading to a DWade tip-in dunk. That was crucial. Pacers only down 3.

You didn't expect Wade to ball like this? Wade is a TOP 20 player of all time and is in full health. common sense should tell anyone that an all time great a caliber of Wade was gonna dominate, especially with the sh... That Stephenson said.

Top 50 maybe, top 20 all time? What are you smoking? Top 20 SG I agree

Slam magazine had Wade at 49 all time in 2011, with 2 less titles. You best believe he's gone up since then.
