umad LeBron mr. clutch triple double best player in the universe as far as we’re concerned James[/quote]
Undeniable clutch last night. A big coaching mistake IMO was taking Hibbert out on D with about a minute left allowing Lebron to easily take it to the hole.I can understand the reasoning on the last play of the game, but the one Lebron where scored before that was dumb. Hibbert is a big reason he wasn’t doing that all night.
I’m still not convinced Wade fouled George on that 3. There’s no way to 100 % tell from the only camera angle they showed. Either way, Indiana played some great D. But unlike the Knicks, Miami punishes them by dishing when they send Hibbert over. I’d like to see how the Pacers handle this. If they rotate another guy down, it opens up the 3 point line. The next game should be very interesting.[/quote]
That last play was a great draw-up by Spoelstra. EVERYONE in the building was expecting a jumper. Hitting James at the top while the D was rotating and no big down low was great, even though I hated it, haha. Think the Wade foul was legit, though I think under most circumstances you let it go. They certainly wouldn’t have called that on him 2 years ago. And, the play before where James scored on Hill was clearly an offensive foul. He fully extended his left and chicken winged the fuck outta Hill. But, they’re not calling that on James. Next game is gonna be awesome.
Well in fairness, reiterating what red04 just said, he’s the reason they were even in the game. They were down 13 at one point and LBJ basically single-handedly kept them in the game.
Damn. After tonights game it really bugs me that Pacers dropped the ball the way they did in the first game. If they hadnt pulled Hibbert out at the end theyd likely be up 2-0 and itd be fairly safe to say that the Heat wouldnt see the finals this year.
Dwade might be one of the dirtiest players in the league. When nothing happen after his forearm to the side of the head of a pacers players who’s name i cant remember dint get ejected, only serves to remind everyone how the league will lose it’s mind if the pacers go to the finals. what a joke

100% spot on.
The leagues worst nightmare would be a Memphis vs Indiana finals lol
Miami had played dirty as hell in these two games and are getting away with it.
Obviously it’s not the entire team but Cole, Wade and Battier have been so cheap.
I really hope both of these conference finals go 7 games.

Its killing me right now to think that as of tonight, the pacers could very well have been 3-1 and this series would be all but over…[/quote]
pacers are by far the in-superior team. the ONLY reason why they won that game is because the officiating was absolutely miserable.

What does in-superior mean?
And i was referring mostly to the first game of the series, when sitting Hibbert at key moments basically opened the door for Miami to take the win.

Not a happy camper this morning. LBJ’s 6th foul was nonsense. David stern is counting his money this morning.
Pacers are a good team, not to take anything away from what Larry Bird has built there. Guy built a solid team. [/quote]
I thought his 5th(I think it was 5) where he legit went straight up and George initiated contact with his motion into the shot was a far worse call.
LBJ’s 6th was a ‘correct’ call, some just hate to see it called on a superstar with 1 minute on the clock. He had stationary position, but his left foot was way wide, that’s not legal. I will say though that Wade had already gone away from the screen and Stephenson tripping was a non-factor at that point, but calls happen off the ball all the time so that doesn’t make it wrong either, it just makes it worse for the camp of people who again, hate to see superstars called on it with 1 minute left.
