Where was Hibbert?
| . |
What's that stupid azz help defender doing!!!!! He just stops in mid motion and watches lebron lay it up. Go foul the **** out of him u dam idiot!!!
With 2 sec to go u have your rim protector in the game. Bottom line. Vogel called him the greatest rim protector in the game. Same thing happened right before ot also. Bad coaching on vogels part. George def over played it. Obviously. With hibbert in down by the goal it's a contested shot tho.
Object, Keep Lebron far away from basket. agree with Chuck.
I cant believe what transpired... The Pacers were just delaying the inevitable apparently
Lets not forget, DX missed 2.65 ft's more than his average. A case could be made he is as guilty as anyone.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Anyways....that is an absolute gut wrenching loss. I wonder if the pacers are hurting as much as me. If so they are doomed. Lol
They pissed away a golden opportunity. Showed a lack of experience. They'll learn, they'll grow.
But they now know that they can bang with the Heat.
Pacers need to play their game. Nice adjustment by Spo, the Heat were able to run in the 2nd half. Pacers had a lot of TO's, a lot.
It took one hell of a game by Miami to win this game, I think that it's going 7.
I picked pacers in 6 to begin with. I'll stick to my guns. This win would of def helped that cause tho. Also, you can't go back into a game n pick it apart on missed points or we could do it to everyone. With all those missed opportunities they were up 1 with 2 sec to go. Vogel messed up by not having the rim protected by his 7 '2 center. George overplayed the ball and let lebron have an easy layup. They both messed up on the last play that cost them game. Simple as that.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Indy is 0-5 this postseason when they have 19+ to's and tonight they had 20 to's, Miami had 20 to's as well, but Miami played a great game (Birdman was 7-7, 9 blocks, fewer starters in foul trouble), Pacers gave that one up. Oh well.
KC, you are right, there are 100 little things that led to the Pacers loss, not just the coaching, missed ft's, or bad def. Thise little battles lose you a war.
Come to think of it outside of Hansborough and Birdman neither teams bench did anything. Both coaches played their starters 30+ min. This was a prize fight, and Miami landed the first punch.
Difference being that Miami has a quality bench, Indy doesn't. They always have to rely on their starters playing long, quality minutes. Miami, on the other hand, has a much deeper squad. But it was certainly an entertaining game nevertheless, and Indiana has to feel good about their chances moving forward.
I personally think it gets worse for the Pacers. Miami took their best punch and won. Also, even though LBJ had a triple dub, I don't think that he played all that well. He settled for jumpers and was in foul trouble. It's going to be hard to beat the Heat 4 out of 6 games. The Heat were awful from 3 and basically had no contribution from the bench. That won't happen again 4 out of 6 games.
I would definitely feel confident if I'm indiana. They didn't play their game and allowed Miami to get them out of their comfort zone offensively, but still scored over 100 points and had a chance. Like Eman said, they know they can beat this team. I'm excited for Game 2
