Lol another no show by Lebron, then Indiana pulls to 4 pts. Heat got it but by the skin of their teeth... not championship bball for sure.

how is lebron a no show with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals????? dude was all over the place.

heat were up by 8 with seconds to go on the clock, pacers got lucky with a 3 pointer and a turnover by the heat.


for a heat fan you sure sound very optimistic

As I've said before... They will have a tough time anytime Lebron is under 30. This one was just barely pulled through. The next game at home better be a blowout. If the Spurs are around next round, it just gets that much harder.

[Nkc]

excellent display of D by the heats today.

[Melo-T]

Norris Cole did a great job on Stephenson in the 4th, but Lance was Baaaaaallliiiiin for the first 3 quarters! It was good to see some vintage D WADE as well.

[IndotagSwizz]

Heat played that suffocating defense at the end of the game, and Wade and Lebron reminded everybody again why they hold those rings. Wade, Lebron & "Birdzilla" (Heat fans know) were your boys last night. Also Spo's adjustments were key.

1 down. 3 to go.

Took the Pacers 7 games to beat a 38 win Atlanta team.

lebron does not have to be above 30 pts so long as wade plays the way he is playing or bosh decides to show up.

the pacers had their 5 starters score in double digits yesterday and still were down by 8 points with 20 sec to go where miami only had wade/lebron/cole in double digits and still pulled the win and what did it for them was the defense, as long as miami plays tough defense on them indiana does not have the offense to beat us.

i do however, agree with you 100% that if we face the spurs in the finals it will be a super tough matchup for us, they gave us fits last year and this year they look 1000 times better than they did last year.

And? No offense, but are you a casual basketball/NBA fan? Match-ups mean more than regular season records. Atlanta spread the Pacers out and neutralized their size. You can hang in with any team when you're setting playoff records for 3-pointers.

They might not have had a great regular season but after Horford went down, they went to a small lineup and had quite a bit of success with it.

Anyway . . .

Good game last night. Pacers won the 3rd quarter but the Heat got some key stops down the stretch in the 4th. They deserved to win. Didn't like Wade's "accidental" kneeing of Paul George's head.

I am pretty optimistic about the series though.

[JohnSprm69]

hey yibbiz the arena you guys have is fucking gorgeous inside, on tv they showed the inside of the arena and it is really nice, miami's is nice too but indy's is nicer.

[TrevorM3]

the heat need to play defense like that every game.

[JohnSprm69]

hoping OKC evens it out tonight, also hope i can stay awake to watch the game.

[ASAP]

OKC IS LOL

You make an observation based on one game, a game in which the Heat (two-time defending champ with the best player in the game, in his prime) played maybe their worst all season and the Pacers played possibly their best, and you call me a casual fan?

I asked if you were one.

The Pacers did not play their best in that game. Not even close. They gave up 96 points. Offensively it was one of their best games, as far as the post-season is concerned.

And in case you haven't noticed, your Heat haven't blown us out like the Hawks and Wizards managed to do. Why not? I'll give you a hint. It's not because those other teams are better than the Heat. It's because of the match-ups at each position on the floor. That was the basis for my comment and I stand by it.

It's too bad you can't have a civil discussion with me. I've enjoyed talking to all the other Miami fans (John, Trevor, etc.).

Thanks man. It's a great place to watch a game. The new video board and sound system they installed a few years ago is supposedly world-class. Makes for a more electric atmosphere, that's for sure.

Wow... The Spurs smoked that ass so bad that I had a dream where the Spurs starters sat for a long while laughing and chatting while their rookies and bench played. Once OKC caught up, Timmy and Co came back in and spanked that ass some more! LOL!

be careful now, go back to 2011-12 season and see what OKC did to the spurs



doubt they'll do the same this year but anything could happen, OKC is just bricking shots left and right and they are missing their rim protector, i'm sure they'll come out swinging for the fence next game.

I don't see how what I posted was not civil, I just think you're looking at the game through yellow and blue colored glasses.


And I love how the Pacers fans were chanting "flopper" all night and Stephenson was fined $5000 for flopping. Was he listening too intently?

I can't believe James wasn't fined when he acted like he stepped on a land mine when David West committed a common foul underneath the basket. It was even reviewed and changed from a flagrant foul to a common foul. James then proceeded to lay at the feet of the photographers for a few minutes.

Barkley thinks James should go back to the Cavaliers.

"He's a great player, a great person. I hope he goes back to Cleveland. Those fans in Miami are not real fans, those fans in Cleveland are real fans. I've always hoped he would go back to Cleveland. That would be a great way to finish his career."

Oh I remember that 4 straight game shellacking by OKC!

Ain't happening this time. No Ikaka, no advancing. Plus Spurs on a foking mission!

The refs don't judge LeBron fairly, he gets hit so hard, and because he is bigger and stronger than most players, either they don't call a lot of things or, hard/flagrant fouls get called as common fouls.

As far as him going back to the Cavs,
Anyone that thinks that definitely doesn't remember the open letter to Cavs fans that the owner wrote after LeBron left. Micky Arison (owner), and Bosh have both said that they're all staying.
