They up their game when they play against contenders. I don't think anyone realizes this...

I really can't stand watching George Hill play sometimes.

had they shot 33.3% from 3 they'd still be up by 1 ;)
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.

Heat with sloppy offense, can't throw it into the ocean and horrible D. So much gambling on steals, it makes my eyes bleed.

Still, Heat win this comfortably.

That's the weird thing about lance, you sort of feel they need a stephen Jackson on the spurs type to have a chance against Miami. It seems like Miami takes more chances then they should when he is dribbling

I am trying to follow the game through a connection that would have been considered slow in 1993. Good to see we are ten up, that is all I can glean from the game.but, I am sitting here watching Scottish mountains, drinking wine and whisky and eating cheese. It all seems so irrelevant!

That's one great thing about Stephenson. His ego stretches far out into the depths of space. :lol:

Dude probably "thinks" he can score on anyone.



and he absolutely can.


ability is not the question.

I've never seen a more enigmatic head coach than Erik Spoelstra. You start Shane and then sub in James Jones?

Where the heck is Michael Beasley and why does Rashard Lewis get minutes over him? Sure Beasley can't play defense but neither can Lewis; however unlike Lewis, Beasley can put the ball in the hole.

Lance has been surprisingly calm so far, Indy looking good.

If Indy didn't turn over the ball so much, they would be up 15 right now. If they take care of the ball, they can beat this team.

Play likely to tighten up in the second half. That generally works in favor of the team with the lead, and the team that plays the best D.

Pacers looking good but NEED to win this now. To play well, build a nice lead and then come up short would be shades of last years game one.

Love the Pacer's confidence.

Hate the whiney, flopping, cheap shot, dirt bag Heat!

Go Pacers!

Yeah I was going to mention that. When looking at %'s over such a small sample size, just 2-3 shots make a huge gap in the percentages. Tends to make it overblown.

I enjoyed the first half. Good basketball. No flopping. No free throw fest. This is going to be the better of the two series for sure.

So far so good. Crab has to step up though. Hibbert will perish in the 2nd.
