2013 Playoffs Discussion Thread

Indiana got to beat Miami 4 times in 10-13 days? Not going to happen. I'll give Vogel some credit for admitting it was a mistake leaving Hibbert on bench.

Leaving Hibbert on the bench was the right call. George can't give James the lane like that. If Hibbert was there two things would have happened. One of the Heat great shooters would have gotten a great look on the switch or Hibbert would have been drawn away from the basket by Bosh anyways.

Agreed. Coaches get put in a lot of lose-lose situations...darned if you do, darned if you don't. In those situations, I guess the best thing you can do is pick your poison. In hindsight, a Bosh 3 point attempt is probably better than risking a layup, but Bosh has hit a couple of game winners like that before, so what can you do...

Man Stephenson needs to chill the f out dam...dude actin like he's above avg n ish. Lol..they need to go to hibbert in the post n attract the double to kick out to the open man...their offense gets out of whack too much to beat the heat. Too many mistakes and errors on they part. I can't count how many times these guys haven't kept an eye on the shot clock. Ridiculous. It's the eastern conference finals for Christ sakes.

I wouldn't dap Stephenson off either. Dude is playing without a brain.

West should of pushed that to the hoop IMO.

Tbh, Strphenson is one of the big reasons they are playing so well. One bad game and all is forgotten?

Interesting tidbit about Stephenson, he had a scholarship to go to Kansas but it was pulled after a guy Kansas wanted signed with them...that guy? Xavier Henry.

2 fts can all but wrap this game up!!!! C'mon hill!!!!!

Oh. Look at that. Hibbert's presence contributes to a turnover instead of an uncontested layup.

And West has always had quick hands. Underrated trait of his.

West is doing work.

Like I said the other nigh; George made it look bad. I dont think Miami scores if George does his job.

Tell you what, I believe that Indy wins the series, but should they not, I can't wait to see SA play Miami in the finals, the dirty team vs the dirty team.

All feast or famine. But it's another dynamic element that you need to contend.

Looked like it was off wade,

I dont want the Heat to win simply because that lady gets on my nerves.

Dam I'm good!!!

How is she there and at the Golden State-San An game? She got some kinda global pass? I hope she isn't at our Pelicans games next postseason.

50, court side, white pants?

Man I tell u what. With the pacers winning this game. They are def in the drivers seat and they def look like the better team. Especially with the heat winning how they won. I'm sticking to my guns. Pacers in 6.

I swear its the same exact tone as the one at the san an game... Its annoying. You heard her in game one after Lebron scored?

Craig Saiger, what window awnings store makes your suits?

Nah what I mean is that I was only speaking of the moment. No where did I say he's been bad all game. He had a very good game. Are u saying he can screw up all he wants with the game on the line with less than 4-5 min to play cause he has had a good game before then?? He gets a pass?? I assume your a prisoner of the past then. Correct?

What happened to Unknown Poster?!

Far from it, I am not going to let ones actions erase their entire body of work. Guy has been solid all series, was it really only one turnover that he had tonight?

DX came up huge. When his shot wasnt falling his opponents wasnt either.

That dunk by Paul George tonight on Burdman, did anyone check on Anderson to see if he was still alive?

that's must see tv right there... esp since I have no real rooting interest in any of the teams in the playoffs other than watching certain teams lose (LAL, MIA)... though I should get behind Indiana... DWest and fellow Bro Martin Crusader DJ Augustin

Pacers are definitely my EC team. I love the way they play. Great steal tonight, and like I said before, they should feel confident.

This series (Heat/Pacers) will be tied if Stern goes to his red phone and calls up Joey Crawford to ref game 3. He has already done it once after the Bulls went up on Heat.

If he stays out of it, I could see the Pacers winning in 6, but more than likely he won't stay out of it and it'll b the Heat in 7

These guys had the D and advantages to beat the Heat. I wonder if a Spurs and Pacers finals will help people quiet down with the "This isn't a big man league anymore, centers are useless now" type talk?

That opinion won't change until the NBA has a great Center again. There hasn't been a dominant Center in so long that people actually thought Dwight Howard was a great Center, people comparing him to Shaq was a joke. Granted, if you compare every up and coming Center to Shaq, you will be disappointed. Bynum showed flashes, but was too inconsistent and who knows how he will be after the injury.

Still got the Pacers in 7. Heat suppose to be down 2-0 right now.

Just finished now watching this game. I'm very happy that the Pacers won the game, they deserve it, and I can only hope they pass to the Finals.

By the other hand, I can't explain how much I hate the Heat. Can't stand them. The arbitration of these 2 games till now, have been DISGUSTING, LAMENTABLE, INSULTING, an ABERRATION. This is so fuking RIGGED.
The favoring to the heat is so blatant obvious that it makes me mad.
Refeeres are calling any foul when going to the basket to the Heat, calling the Pacers for offensive fouls when clearly are not, Wade assaulted Stephenson on the 4th Q with 4:05 remaining, and the referees called NOTHING. He had to be ejected.
Bosh, on defense was inside the paint for 16 SECONDS! 16 !!!! @ 4th Q with 2:41 remaining and the referees called NOTHING of course!!

But then Mahinmi or Hibbert stay in the paint for 3 or 4 seconds and they call it SUPERfast.


In the next games, the refeeres are going to force it even more, they are not letting the Pacers beat Miami.
No matter what.

FKN BIDCHES.

I found it disgusting and couldn't believe they didn't call it. I hope he gets suspended after some tape review. I have lost a lot of respect for him.

Spurs snuffing production from the Memphis bigs the way they squeezed the Golden State guards.

What do you think they'll do to James? Can do?

Memphis came out on fire and wore themselves out. LOL.

Bring DJ Augustin home... he went to St Aug but I won't hold that against him.

LeBron is a man amongst boys.

The Pacers are going to be sick next year with Granger back.

AMAZING pass, and it'll never be shown again cuz Stephenson didn't finish.

Is anyone else just waiting for a fight to break out?

Wow this series is very similar too last season. LOL to those who thought the Pacers were going to roll now.

Is the series over or something?:confused:

CJ McCollum just tweeted that he needs to work on his acting skills for when he hits the pros. Of course in reference to the flopping.


He just shot up my wish list.

Face it, David Stern is going to get his Spurs vs Heat series for his retirement. Just the way it is.

Love love love the conspiracy theorist.
