Well at least we won't have to wait 9 days for the finals to start.

Yeah that was a little premature. Its still advantage Miami though. Game 5 will give us an indication of how the series will end.

Have they ever fined the king for flopping?

When I think Pacers I think Reggie and Rik Smits, after that I think Detleph Shrimp and Sam Perkins.

Game 5 in Miami. I think it is possible for this to go 7.

I'm counting on it. Should be fun to see a fresh Spurs team play either team. I imagine the title is SA's to lose.

Ugh I can't believe what I heard on my way home tonight. There was a radio DJ on 102.9 or maybe Q93 talking about, "shout out to all our Heat fans, let's get this win tonight." I thought I misheard him, but then he kept talking about the Heat using "we" and "us", as if he was deejaying in Miami.

Pelicans fans should be cheering for the Heat.

First, why not? Heat, Spurs, and Pacers are all in bottom half in terms of market. And Lebron is unarguably the best player in the world. I, personally, want to watch him play as often as I can. I'd much rather watch Heat/Spurs, as opposed to Pacers/Spurs. This doesn't make me a Heat fan, this just makes me a basketball fan! If the Pelicans were in the playoffs, I'd be hoping for a 7 game series decided at the buzzer in favor of the Pelicans over the Heat!

Second... I want there to be desperate teams in the East. Not optimistic ones. I want Bulls, Pacers, 76ers, etc to all be so desperate at they convince themselves they have to gamble on Eric Gordon. If the Heat are beatable, those teams are less desperate.n

I'm still going to root for the Pacers. Granger and DJ are local kids.

I don't know if this was directed at me. If so, what makes you think the guy was a Pelicans fan at all? To me, he sounded like a straight up Heat fan, which I don't have a problem with. But the way he talked was like he assumed New Orleans was Heat City...like all his radio listeners in the New Orleans area should be Heat fans...like we didn't have our own basketball team.

I just never witnessed anything like that during the NFL season. Sure I've heard DJs rooting for teams like when the 49ers played the Falcons and a lot of people wanted the 49ers to win. But I never heard them say something like "Us 49ers fans bout to pull this off" or "49er fans let's get this" as if this is San Francisco. The Who Dats would've blew the phone lines up at that radio station.

I'm a Pel fan before I'm anything else NBA related. And I don't care about an entertaining Finals. That's ESPN/TNT thinking.

I want the Heat to burn. The fallout will be even more entertaining.

I'm tired of the usual suspects winning. I'm rooting for the Pacers.

By your logic there is just as much reason to root for the Pacers. They are a small market and if teams in the east see another strong team they know they will have to build up a roster to keep up with the other teams. As far as Lebron, I don't give a crap about him being the best player. This isn't about one player, it's about a team. People forget that with the NBA, it is still a team sport.

Exactly. Pacers are much more relatable as a Pelicans fan than the Heat are. And I find watching George/Hibbert more entertaining than Lebron's game vs. the Pacers.

In no way will I ever root for the Heat.

I root for the Pacers because of D. West. I hope he can get a ring.

Apparently you were not at the Hornets vs Heat game this past season.
If you were you should understand why i can not and will not ever root for the Heat.
Go ahead jump on the bandwagon. I'll be the one rubberneckin' when it crashes. :D

btw: i was rooting for Grizz/Pacers Finals... THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT if you ask me. To me its the difference between liking good basketball TEAMS vs liking good basketball PLAYERS.
Pacers are a better TEAM imo.

Same exact thing, only Hansbrough isn't LeBron, so he didn't flop like a lil' wimp.

To all the LBJ haters. If he had taken his talents to the Big Easy instead, would y'all still hate him?

I just love Playoff basketball. I wouldn't be upset if the heat made it to the finals.
05-30-2013, 09:14 PM

What is wrong with the pacers man?? They aren't going inside to hibbert nearly enough. Just mind boggling. Miami has no answer for him and yet they don't get him the ball. He should touch the ball every dam time down the floor.

The fact that he would've never done such a thing is part of the problem. Wade and Bosh didn't go with him to Cleveland. He and Bosh went to big beautiful Miami.

You didn't answer the question plus Miami is not a big market
05-30-2013, 09:16 PM

Game is in the balance here. If Indy doesn't get some turnovers and to the stripe, Miami can and will run away with this.

Their offense should run through hibbert on the block. Vogel needs to be checked.

That kind of boom or bust thing can't be counted on to produce. He's too wild and unrestrained to be predictable except for being unpredictable.

Where is the off the ball movement? I hate it when bigs get doubled and everyone stands around gawking.

I'm a Pelicans fan but I can appreciate greatness. I'd rather watch a great player than two defensive teams in the finals.

Stephenson could easily score 12 points in the 4th. It's just how crazy his game is.
05-30-2013, 09:24 PM
Eman5805

Haslem is standing in the same spot. It's like watching the Spurs vs us a few years ago. Keep giving up the same shot and seemingly unable to stop it.
05-30-2013, 09:25 PM
kclaboy504

They just let Haslem sit still in his golden spot that he's been money from for 30 years. Ridiculous.
