I live in Indy and agree. pacers were on fire in Game 1. It will still come down to a game 6 or game 7. Pacers match up great with Heat. Only time Hibbert even looks like an NBA player. Once it gets late in close games in 6 and 7; Lebron will just drive and get the call. That is the NBA in a nutshell. Play for 2 weeks and it will come down to a 50/50 or a non-call. Pacers are a good play every other game. prob. make a great chase system now with Pacers.
I'm a big heat fan. Heat just dont match up well vs the Pacers and Hibbert looks like a HOF every time he plays vs em. I wanted Atl or Wash to knock them out. With that being said, i thought they'd split the 1st 2 games in Indy and also games 3 and 4 in Miami. Thought heat would win in 6.
Also rooting for okc to beat the spurs b/c the heat match up better vs the thunder

Good thing Hibbert wasn't HOF status last night..
Hibbert is lazy if you ask me. He chooses what nights to coast and when to play hard and during the playoffs there can be ZERO nights off :smoking:

Just read a good article on grantland about Bosh. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh are in the top 5 efficiency percentage of shots made within 8 feet (min 300 attempts) this season. The weird thing is that when Hibbert is in the middle, the big 3 on the HEAT (plus others) seem to alter their shot and their shots always look "off". This was first noticed 2 yrs ago when the pacers were supposed to be an "easy" series vs the HEAT and gave them a real challenge. They even took a 2-1 lead on the HEAT (bosh was injured as well). Then last yr, the series went 7 and Indy played tough.
This has been a weird playoff series and not sure if Indy gives it 1 last go tonite or if they are in the "F this, lets go fishing mode".
If Indy loses this series, their fans will be devastated. This is the year that they go to the finals. They finally got the #1 seed so they can play game 7 at home. Their gonna have super depressed fans by not accomplishing this goal. They are gonna have to make some big offseason changes.
Funny thing is that pacer fans HATE the HEAT. Yet HEAT fans cant give 2 f*cks about the pacers
