How the Pacers are gonna be when we finish wiping them off the floor.

Every win is important for us now, especially with Bosh down. Our team has really come through for us the last two games, but there is no such thing as an easy game against Indiana. We are 1-2 so far this year against the Pacers, both losses taking place in the field house in Indianapolis. This is our chance to even our series and defend our home court.

We have a 3 point loss early in the season where Justise Winslow showed remarkable poise guarding Paul George. In the second game, both teams shot poorly, but the Pacers beat us at the charity stripe (90% vs 60%). The Heat also had 19 turnovers.

We had a chance for revenge at home early in January and beat the Pacers in a close overtime game 103-100. Bosh's 31 points were instrumental in our victory.

56-71 (14-11 in postseason, 42-60 in regular season)

5 winning seasons, 9 draws, 13 losing seasons, 3 series victories in post season, 1 series loss in post season. This will either be the 10th season we draw or the 14th season they humble us.

1/15/89 was our first win against the Pacers.



Their last game, the Pacers beat the Thunder in Oklahoma City. Later today they play Orlando, so they are on a back to back on Monday, but they're a young, athletic team and I don't see how it will make much difference. It's good that we rest at least because Wade might recover.

George Hill-Monta Ellis-Paul George-Myles Turner-Ian Mahinmi is how they started their last game. They have two other hills: Solomon Hill (SF) and Jordan Hill (PF). Jordan Hill is a good stretch 4 who can also play center. Myles Turner has been really good for them as a rookie, one of the best surprises this year.

CJ Miles was sick but may play in Orlando.

Strategic Situation: We are in 4th place with the same number of losses as Boston. Boston plays Denver today (Sunday) and Minnesota on Monday, both away games. A Heat win versus Indiana combined with a Celtics loss (in either game) gives us 3rd place.

33-25 (if Celtics lose either game) = 0.569
32-24 (if we beat the Pacers) = 0.571

Celtic conclude this week with Milwaukee (Thursday) and Miami (both at home) on Saturday. Their last February game is against the Jazz on next Monday - also at home.

Miami plays Golden State at AAA on Wednesday, Boston on Saturday in the Garden, and New York in the other Garden on Sunday. That closes out our February schedule.

Don't want to get my hopes too high, but last 2 games have been encouraging in a bunch of different ways

Let's keep Mcbobing!

Let's get this W! Hope to see Wade back and involved in this offense that has been so great. Everyone needs to stay aggressive when they get their touches its that simple. That's really been the only difference, guys are getting rebounds and their gone and pushing the ball up and being aggressive towards the rim. Our 3 point defense has been pretty **** though and against PG we're going to need to know where he is at all times. Having Wade will help so we can have someone who can cancel out PG.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be surprised by how well Wade plays in this style when he gets back.

I keep dreaming how cool it would be if we had a healthy TJ playing over Gerald Green with the pace we are playing. Please come back soon.
