If you Jimmer it, they will come.
The heat were flopping like its hawt, but the Pacers gave the Heat too many runs and easy baskets. The Pacers need to keep the game close or they dont stand much of a chance in this series.
Stern loves us, so he's OK in my book.
Pacers can't matchup with the Heat when they play their A game. They don't have enough offense.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I agree. While NBA refereeing does have some questionable quirks that I wish didn't exist (i.e. "reputation" calls...rookies vs. superstars, foul prone guys, home team advantage calls), it has to be the absolute toughest sport to officiate if you really just sit and think about it...they're gonna mess up. All things considered (speed of the game, having several different things to always watch for on and off the ball, not always having the best angle to catch a call), they're actually solid for the most part.
True. But it gets even worse when guys like Haslem or Andersen are shooting like 80% from the field or whatever.
That's not really something you count on, but they're getting it. And it makes it that much tougher. Paul George needs to stop settling for jumpers. It's hard as hell, but he's gotta find ways to get around LeBron, get fouled, and convert some FTs.
Anderson is shooting 100% from the field this series, he's like a Jason Smith for them. He comes in and plays with high energy for 15-20 minutes.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Haslem - 17pt, Chalmers - 14pts, Birdman - 100% from the field.
Anyone that says the Heat role players aren't a big reason for why they dominate is crazy!
The Spurs-Memphis series is a foregone conclusion.
I'm listening to Daft Punk instead.
Memphis needs to give Randolph the Rudy Gay treatment. Dump his salary as soon as possible. He's regressed the last two seasons.
That's one series against a soft defender. But he's owed 34 million the next two seasons and overall he's regressed that last two seasons. He's been awful against the Spurs. He's only gonna get worse from here on out. He has bad knees and isn;t the best conditioned athlete. Ship him out and build around Gasol and Conley.
But get rid of Randolph and bring in who? That team is built around their bigs, and you don't trade one without having an equall backup plan in place. Their window is open, but for how much longer?
Did anyone hear Popavich just tell the media (after the award presentation) " I want to talk to my team, so get out."
Dude is $. Love me some Popavich.
